17 years old, I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember. just need to let some things out I've been stuttering for so long, and have been trying for a while now to stop. I'm so embarrassed ab...

This hit the nail on the head. This matches with everything I've experienced. The funniest (not humorous) part about stuttering is that the more you try to avoid it, the more likely you are to stutter...

A lot of people have different facial ticks. It sounds like its not helpful trying to force out the words with force, so maybe when you get stuck in a block, try to release, reset, and try again....

Mine used to. I would have all kinds of facial tics when I blocked hard on a word, almost like my body was using all the energy it could to get the word out, but it just made it worse. ...

Nope, but I divert my eyes and place a hand over my mouth when I stutter. As if that helps but its instinctive. ...

Last weekend I went to see a movie, and when I got to the ticket booth I could not for the life of me say the name of the movie I wanted to see. After a good 30 seconds I finally was able to get past ...

I have received speech therapy in the past for about 4 months (total). I am not currently in speech therapy, but I'm very active about when I had speech problems. During any block I would ease out of ...

I have had a stutter my whole life. I still feel some symptoms, like some very quick stuttering and some residue anxiety about speech. But they are very minor, and when I feel them I ignore them. I'm ...

I think it was mostly confidence. I began to really understand social interaction by reading these three books: How to Win Friends and Influence People, The Blueprint, and Book of Five Rings. The firs...

Whenever I have to introduce myself to someone, I am generally mortified with the entire situation. Saying my name always, without fail, brings out the worst stutter in me. There were a couple times I...

In instances of public speaking/speaking in front of my class; I am currently in university studying Creative Media, this means I have to speak a lot, it is at it's worst when the lecturer asks me to...

I am the exact same way! Mine really shows up when I have to have an extended conversation. I can rattle of 1-4 sentences pretty fluently but say at work if I am having to go into detail on something,...

Same here. I used to tell nobody that I stutter. But some people know, now. But they said, they never realised until I told them. That made me proud, because I have to restructure almost every sentenc...

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...

Thanks for replying. I guess it's more common than I thought. Deem down I have no real confidence or conviction in what I say when talking. I tend to speak fast, rush my sentences as if to finish tal...

Advice needed for projecting voice and consistent, clear speech. I guess this is the most appropriate place to post this thread. I'm 27 years old and all my life I've been introverted and at times ex...

I am playing a character with a stutter in a play. How can I do this convincingly? I've been researching stuttering, watching documentaries, and reading about people who have stutters. I see how t...

I used to stutter quite a lot. Slowly it's getting better. My only cure was to just keep talking I guess, as nowadays it's pretty rare. When I mentioned it to my girlfriend the first time, she said sh...
