I've had similar thoughts, but I think you notice your stutter less the more messed up you get. So you can't judge it as well, you know? A lot of stuttering has to do with the mental aspect and anxiet...

Works differently for me. While sober I can manage to consentrate enough to speak fairly fluent, but when I drink I totally lose that ability and get blocks every other sentence. The drunker I get the...

Yep, after a few drinks, in a moderately loud pub or bar I am completely fluent. A combination of background noise with a bit of a buzz to help ease anxiety and I rarely stutter. Great place for a fir...

I think you are right, the key is pre-existing anxiety and doing something that makes you feel less anxious. I am the same way, drinking/smoking calms the nerves and I am less likely to stutter. Als...

I feel you man, stuttering tends to make one really introverted because you can never mess up speaking to yourself :) and that's fine! I took a lot of drama and public speaking classes as a kid to h...

Am I the only one who doesn't stutter when I am really drunk/messed up?

Am I the only one who doesn't stutter when I am really drunk/messed up? Not trying to advocate widespread drug use here because my friend who also stutters speaks way worse when he is drunk, but I fin...

I get blocks. Jaw and tongue freezes and I just can't make a sound. Happens a lot with "g's" which makes speaking German pretty tough. I have gotten pretty good at having a "6th sense" knowing which w...

Definitely blocks, rarely do the other two ...

All 3. Usually made worse when I'm put on the spot, even with simple questions like "What's your name?" Talking in person isn't as bad as talking on the phone is for me, probably because I tend to mov...

Ya, but I argue that sort of makes it worse. It seems to me that it makes the whole interview process more about my speech than about my qualifications. ...

Job interviews are the worst for me. I'm fairly fluent in general conversations and social interactions, but I completely fall apart at job interviews. Mostly blocks here too. I've considered coming...

I suggest toastmasters. Often times larger cities with have Toastmasters for people who stutters as well. It will improve your self confidence and make you a better speaker, public or otherwise. I'm...

Have you found that taking a huge breath, and slowly release before starting on a hard word helps? I've been experimenting with this technique recently after abandoning it many years ago and it seems ...

I also block. I go through phases where I'm able to get out of blocks quite easily, but then there's times where a hard block can last a few seconds. Depends on my mood and stress level I suppose. ...

'How' do you stutter?

'How' do you stutter? I mainly have hard blocks. When I try to force the word out in an uncontrolled manner, I get repetitions. **Repetition** occurs when a unit of speech, such as a sound, syllabl...

A few weeks ago I had to buy a train ticket. I was unable to say the destination. Usually I take control and say it anyways, thanks to my wonderful speech therapist of course, but in this I was unable...

Haha I feel that way as well...

lol...
