I'm new here and I wanted to know if anyone shared the same problem I'm having. Hi everyone, So, I grew up with a stutter but I would say it was very mild compared to some of the other people's stut...

I struggle with the word "different" gonna give this silent technique a try. Also agree 100% with what you said about speech dependent on anxiety and pressure. I choke up pretty hard in meetings...

Elongation of sounds and a lot of pauses. I do repeat sounds, especially hard consonants. What is block in air flow? Sometimes I'll try to say something, and my mouth and tongue will give up mid-sente...

Speaking beautifully when reading out loud to self, but constantly freezing up when reading to others

Speaking beautifully when reading out loud to self, but constantly freezing up when reading to others So ever since the school year started, I've been trying to speak much more fluidly than I did last...

Lately it's been "like" and "just" for me. It's a way to open up your throat for air to come out. My dad tells me it can be like nails on a chalkboard though. I end up extending it so its "liiiiiiiiii...

Haha, I'm right there with you, man. justbuyamac is right: Try to distract yourself, but still listen for your name. Apart from that, say "right here" or "present" instead....

Stuttering is a PHYSICAL REACTION to a MENTAL stimulus: anxiety. When you think you are going to stutter, you get anxious, which makes you stutter. Stuttering causes anxiety, not anxiety causes stutte...

Thats very curious. Sounds like something about roll call gives you a lot of pressure. If this is the only time you're having this problem then yeah, i suggest switching it up. "i'm here" or "yes, her...

maybe try saying a different word instead of "here", like "present". I know that i get hung up on certain words like "comedian", so i have to find other words that mean the same thing, but doesn't ge...

I usually add a prefix to avoid stuttering. "Here" would make me stutter, but "I am here" wouldn't. With some practice you can say the prefix without people realizing (but still helping with fluency)....

I thought I would add my story. I've stuttered FOREVER. It used to be really bad and I hated to talk to anybody. My mom, brothers, aunts, uncles all knew I stuttered but I did not have enough confide...

Yep. In 8th grade (I'm a senior now) instead of "um" or "uh" I would make this weird ticking sound. Freshman year, when I stuttered I would make this choking sound. That was horrible....

that's right. On the outside im very open and ok with my stutter but subconsciously im obviously still very uncomfortable about it. But fighting these secondary stutter behaviors is the way to go. eve...

Yep, I know I do it because some part of me is still trying to "hide" the fact I have a stutter (and maybe I think it will help "lead" into that difficult word). I believe I do it less now than in the...

Tips? Advice?

Tips? Advice? I have had a stutter basically my whole life, i wouldn't call it "severe" I started working for a good company in my area 4 years ago. Started in the outgoing mailroom and quickly learne...

I have a couple thoughts. 1) The variable nature of stuttering makes it next to impossible to provide "tricks and tips" that will apply to everyone equally. There are many many tricks and gimmicks, ...

I'm right there with you -- not recovered and unsure why. (and I'm a speech pathologist with 3/4ths of a PhD in communication disorders) The scientist in me wants to know why, wants to investigate. W...

Haha thanks. Our hcemistry wasnt great so it ended up with me leaving her my number and she never called me back :P Some polite talking on facebook chat but thats about it. I think scoring chicks is ...

I'm a children's educator, which is close but not the same thing. It's informal education, kind of like kindergarten for older kids where we learn shit and have fun. Most kids are aware of my stutter...
