Stuttering on purpose is a common technique used in many methods throughout the world. Every speech therapist I've been to has mentioned it. Rather than an experiment it's just a common method of spea...

I use it at times but only to friends. I think it's a hilarious line for someone with a stutter to use. Of course, you have to use it only when you didn't actually stutter in the sentence and people s...

As far as I can understand it, it is genetic and you can't "cure" it. But YOU CAN OVERCOME IT! I feel you. There were times, the really bad times, when I felt I couldn't say a word if I would have b...

First, trust me when I say you are not alone in dealing with this. I am a 18 y/o \(just turned 18\) male who severely stutters, and I also sometimes feel helpless and think [it is impossible to be a n...

What u have to understand is that you do stutter, and avoiding talking to people is not going to fix that; it'll actually make it worse in most cases. You can talk, it will just take longer to say wh...

Thanks Chaz. That was a fantastic video. I subscribed to your channel :) I definitely like the approach of just tackling things. It's something I'm trying to do more of (which is why I made this post...

Knowing that the mic is on triggers your stuttering behavioral pattern. One tennis player got a block that whenever the judge said 40-40, he always lost that game. Body tensing up, serve in the net,...

Not sure if this is a good idea, but is it possible to record the radio when you're on it "for real"? Then you could listen back to the recording of you completely blocking and cringe. Cringe harder t...

Honestly I'd say attack it. Get over the fear. The anxiety makes it worse. The more you practice the more comfortable you become. Then it becomes nothing more than a conversation with an audience. And...

I made a joke about my stutter during my job interview. It went over real well. I was stuttering off and on the whole time. It made it more awkward because we didnt talking about it. So the classic qu...

Actually, several circles (including McGuire Programme) involve deliberate disfluency, meaning that you purposely stutter when you don't feel like to. For most of us in this subreddit it sounds appall...

If you were stuttering to pretend some sort of mental deficiency or to imply a link between the two, then maybe. Otherwise, no, not really. Sorry, guess you'll have to go through the experience....
