Hmm yeah it seems like there is no reason behind mine either. Maybe it's just in my head but i do notice it a lot when I talk more than usual. I tend to speed up my words and then the stuttering comes...

I dont know mate, haven't tried it yet but doing that seems even more retarded than just straight up stuttering haha. Same as using some retarded accent and being fluent because of it but you feel so ...

Well, do you stutter less if you talk without moving your lips? I do, at least to myself. I don't have the balls to talk like that in front of people , they'd think I was nuts lol. It does force you t...

I have no idea what you're saying. You're using terms that are not standard and ideas that a linguist would consider speculative at best. What do you mean secondary channel of language? ...

In short: you completion with your problem and not overcome it. This is one way, but for me I'm trying to get overcome my stutter and not completion with it. Like you said that if you have body with ...

thinking ahead..

thinking ahead.. I've noticed that thinking ahead about what I plan to say increases the chances that I will stutter, significantly. There's a local bagel store near my home. There's always a huge ...

Nice post. I'm used to fluent people talking out of their ass and invalidating what we have to experience every day, but stutterers too? I'm not saying we should all be like OP but being delusional ...

Yeah, you're describing something very similar to Dean Williams's therapy for children, the Normal Talking model. Basically learning that stuttering is a behavior we do. While the behavior of stutteri...

Yes, i have read many and i mean many books and articles on stuttering and speech in general and for me personally (read in my case) his theory seems the most logical one since i CAN speak fluently in...

Hmm interesting, i am certain it will never go away for some people since its such a complex problem haha ;p I do however think that the way you deal with a behaviour that potentially has fault depend...

Well it definitely seems like there's a genetic component as well as environmental triggers for it. I don't think it's a learned behavior, and due to the mental health issues that come along with the...

I will take a look thanks! I like to believe that we created those neural pathways by speaking in a ''wrong way'' and that it is a result of us stuttering and not the cause, is that naive for me to be...

I'm gonna come across as a complete jerk but this is just my ''theory'': Alot of people in the stuttering community (and this sub in particular) like to blame their stuttering on external things, gen...

well the thing is, we mess up our speech when we stutter right and that ofcourse happends in the brain, but that doesnt necessarily mean that stuttering is caused by ''our brain''. I would say that we...

''In fact the best fluency I've achieved has been through practice by myself. I say we ban all of these snake oil salesmen and donate all the money saved into research.'' I am beginning more and more ...

wtf? How can you possible say that??? Alot of people who stutter are relatively fluent when they are alone. People like you wow....

Try giving up on being witty and telling jokes and stories. It's worked out pretty well for me. Might not be for everybody, though....
