I second the comment about feeling anxious around them and judged by them. I actually stutter around kids because kids make me nervous. I'm not used to being around kids so I stutter worse around them...

You can try a lot of things for your anxiety. Breathing exercises for one. Also you can tap your finger while talking to slow yourself. When im anxious around an authority figure I sorta forget to bre...

You described my stutter almost exactly. I work with kids and rarely stutter with them. With adults it depends on the situation but seems to depend on the power dynamic. I haven’t achieved fluency bu...

Yes. A stutter will weigh me down in board /management meetings. I'm intimidated to interject, speak up, make my points. But the primarily limitation there is myself, and it's something I'm trying t...

You're probably never going to have any luck with getting laid at a club. It's a very superficial environment - if you start stuttering the girl will probably lose interest immediately. You might be a...

>What do you mean, "almost always"? Who's humiliating you? Look at the non stutterers you interact with on a day to day basis. Look at there faces after they hear you stutter. Look at how they th...

It's like I have stuttered before Mr. A before so next time the stutter increases. And if I talk with an authority with Mr. B, I'll stutter very less. Like I am comfortable with my family, relaxed wi...

dude yes esp authority figures (bosses, police, etc) even when I’m not nervous or anxious it’s just like my words and mouth don’t know how act haha I feel we all have funny stories when it comes to s...

No, but all the times when police pull me over is always shit and they usually goes like that "i don't belive in you, you're stuttering, are you nervous? are you trying to hide something?"...

Books that go into detail on how to speak well?

Books that go into detail on how to speak well? I used to have a massive stuttering problem that I have now greatly reduced thanks to therapy and practice. I do not stutter in front of friends and fam...

I find if I'm the boss in a situation and people have to listen to me I'm alot better. If it's a one on one conversation with someone I don't usually talk to I'm really bad. I'd say that teacher must ...

I'm going to college for a code enforcement officer, and I'm not really worried about it cause u don't want to piss off a code enforcement officer...

Yep - same boat. I struggle the most with the "Da" part of "Dad", which makes for growing up with a father who works remotely and frequently calls home very hard!! It's the only thing I've ever blocke...

I get you. I got pulled over once years ago and the cop thought I was on something. I told him I stutter. I just got off work I was exhausted and just wanted to go home. He made me do a field test I p...

I have so much trouble with people who I think are higher than me like bosses or the alike. I feel you on caring so much. Most people don't care about our stutters but we become so insecure over the y...

I was threatened by a girl that she'd "punch the stutter out of me" at my old job cause I asked a her a question because I wasn't trained completely (when I should've been). She did it in front of cus...

I’m really late on this, but I could totally relate to this guy! The reading during class, it being hard to talk to teachers, and of course having talking to girls be way more complicated. Great stuff...

In my experience, coworkers, supervisors, interviewers, etc. have viewed stuttering not as the concrete neurological disorder that is actually is, but rather as a mental obstacle that *you* need to ov...

Just wondering. How do you handle "big corporate meetings", since you've probably been through a lot of them. One of my biggest fears in life is, or should I say was speaking in front of more than 3 p...

Not sure if I'm the only one but I found that I have these stutter issues when speaking to someone with authority, or someone who I believe may judge me. I don't stutter on phone calls whenever I'm fe...
