As a stutter myself, I think it's good to make fun of the situation every now and then. Makes the problem seem less intimidating and thus easier to overcome. Just stumbled on this picture in a Game o...

I can relate to that. I'm 30 now & it definitely gets easier, but there have totally been times where I just wanted to say "fuck it" & quit. As far as "growing out of it", I'd recommend tryin...

Thanks for the response! I'm 20 by the way, so I'm hoping I can "grow out of this". And yes I've tried that before, and it definitely did work, but I work in a service job where I'm going to multiple ...

If you find yourself getting stuck, just stop (rather than trying to brute force it) & say something along the lines of "oh, I have a stutter by the way so if I start sounding kinda crazy or whate...

Tips on introducing myself?

Tips on introducing myself? I'm slowly but surely chipping away at fixing my stutter but the one thing I'm struggling with mainly still is introducing myself. My name is Ryley and I like, basically ca...

I would say it indirectly affects my writing/typing sometimes in that I feel like I can actually say what I want to say instead of worrying about difficult sounds, so I take longer to choose the words...

100% agree with both your posts. Trying to "cure" or fix or hide the stutter - especially when you're young and still very mentally affected by it - can exacerbate your problem with it. It becomes...

I was always the quiet, fast-talking kid growing up and my stutter developed later on in my high school years; but it's more of an observation than a realization. Try not to overthink it :)...

Do you think that practicing both separately will help? If I were to constantly say 'bubble' normally over and over, I would barely improve because I simply cannot do it speaking normally like you say...

The thing is though, people might not chat up with you if they know you stutter. Not because they dislike you, but just because they prefer to avoid the awkwardness or becsuse they think you'd like to...

If you spin a basketball on your head in perfect sync with your speech, you will transcend to a new dimension of fluency and godliness, but be cursed with a vision of the universe few humans can compr...

I get the same way, and if it's really bad, I get a lip twitch. It's a speech block. If I'm stressed or anxious, it's very strong. If it's with family, like I have to tell them something important tha...

I have what you have, only everything is a tense situation for me lol. It's anxiety/stress. You are unaware of your breathing, most likely holding your breath trying to find the right word. When we ta...

I was taught a trick in middle school to start to tap either my finger or foot if I catch myself getting a block. I'm pretty sure I do it subconsciously now and it really seems to help get past the bl...

Hey you don't have to do the facial ticks, those are called secondary behaviors. Just try saying exactly what you mean to say - stuttering and all....

Yo that's good idea I've never thought of, just calling random places that you would most likely never going to talk to again to desensitize yourself from the stutter when in real situations....

Tiredness from speaking?

Tiredness from speaking? I have just recently accepted my stutter.Earlier I used to avoid many speaking situations like talking on the phone,talking to strangers etc.Now that I have accepted my stutte...

Which is also fair. I think the way I'm picturing/remembering this in my head the phonetic difference was nearly imperceptible, but I agree. Better to stutter than sound like you don't know how to spe...

This is exactly what I used to do, replacing the letter S with a T. I learnt not to do it the hard way - it got so bad that people in the end couldn't understand what I was saying. It's better to stam...

It's an avoidance behavior and new avoidances may give you short term results but they're detrimental for getting past the shame and fear of stuttering Sorry your getting down voted instead of peopl...
