fellow stutterers unite! (or should I say u-u-u-nite) In all seriousness, awesome job! I'm working towards this. Do you get primarily blocks or repetitions? ...

Hey. I've stuttered for more than 20 years. But I don't stutter while reading, but I used to. I can tell you what helped me. 1. Initially, you should aim for a steady rhythm at a low speaking rate. I...

By background: I'm a 17 year old who has has stuttered my whole life. I'm a senior and a varsity debate team member. I've always been in some form of speech therapy. Currently, I attend a local univer...

Yep, i usually get blocks on the "K,P,T" letters (consonant i believe?), but the worse sounding stutter comes from indeed letters like s , especially if the s goes with t. If i get blocks on conson...

Speaking fast?

Speaking fast? Hi, I have a general question, does anybody here speak fast? My stutter was really bad like 5/6 years ago, being scared to talk in public, but my great speech therapist helped me a lo...

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...

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...

I'm a little late to the party, but here goes -- While it's true that people who stutter generally stutter less when talking with animals, very young children and to themselves, stuttering doesn't to...

Mostly it's like this: Words get stuck - terrible blocks and then I struggle to get the words out. There's some repetition as well....

I stutter just like you, at the very first sound, but i also stammer at the middle of random words. When i was like 5 i could stutter for minutes without saying anything....

My stuttering went through the repetition stage to the pausing stage, where I say words *<pause> <pause>* and *<blank>* syyyy *<pause>* labels with *<block with force agains...

How would you describe your stuttering?

How would you describe your stuttering? Hey r/stutter, last time I posted here asking if people here stuttered when talking to themselves, which turned into a conversation about stuttering when talkin...

That's interesting to know, I guess it varies from person to person. When you stutter, what kind of stuttering is it? Like for me, I struggle with pronouncing the very first sound in words, it's as if...

I've stuttered for 6 years. Here are some techniques I've picked up along the way. This is going to be a wall of text. **Always keep in mind that the best technique for stuttering is acceptance** ...

Mostly I don't, but sometimes I tend to repeat a few words, especially when I talk fast, and the words just kinda jumble in my throat. That's my problem anyway, my brain processes faster than I can s...

For me I'll only have trouble with "t" and "c" sounds when I'm speaking to myself, but it's really minor and unnoticeable. And I might stumble over some words when reading aloud to myself. Whenever ...

Yes, but much less often, and the nature of my stutter seems to change, e.g. I'll prolong the beginning of the word instead of repeat a syllable over and over again like I do when I'm talking to peopl...

Yeah, it's not always black and white. Sometimes I stutter because the words kind of go together or I have trouble getting it out, and sometimes I feel like I stutter because I forgot what I was going...

That's interesting. I would see an SLP like I said, because the actual "stutter" usually occurs in the vocal cords with them locking in an uncontrolled fashion. Also, when you stutter, you generally d...
