Its the opposite for me I find that I often come across as dull or shallow due to using easier to pronounce words. I think it also prevents me from saying what I want to say. Like I get the general id...

I find substituting words is more of a negative secondary behavior or stuttering. Although it can help you sound more fluent more often than not it leads to janky/awkward sounding speech. In my opinio...

A big breakthrough for me was not identifying speech as “bad” or “good” as this just kept me in the trap of trying not to stutter causing more stuttering. Instead I switched to how many minutes of t...

Hi, I also experienced your situation. That when you practice, you're so fluent. But when presenting or reporting in front of the class, you can't do it fluently just how you practice. But I know th...

Always having to hold back from being my true self is the worst feeling. I get it; It really does feel like your stutter defines you in that instant, but it doesn’t define your whole life. Don’t le...

Tbh I'm yet to see that. I just get very introspective, I'm always alone when doing it so I don't really try talking but I'm gonna try next time....

Pseudo stuttering is well defined technique to reduce fear. It helps to desensitized and result into more fluency....

I wouldn't bring it up, let him bring it up. And he is doing mental gymnastics constantly every minute of everyday just to try to speak clearly. He will bring it up eventually, you have to give him so...

If you’re matching with women who aren’t asking about you then you’re matching with the wrong ones. I think when you bring it up might depend on how severe or noticeable it is. In the case of the pe...

I agree, yet this type of thinking for a lot of men especially can make them feel like they are showing vulnerability or not being secure in themselves. I often messaged people I was going on dates ...

I don’t. But I am a little frustrated that he hasn’t acknowledged/discussed it with me. like, hey you might notice me stutter, it’s because X, sometimes Y makes it worse but it gets better by doing Z...

No, because I would have just brought it up myself and even mentioned it ahead of meeting so the other person wasn’t surprised. If it’s something i had dealt with every day of my life and something b...

I see you asking about will it reduce over time etc. Obviously, every stutter /stutterer is different, but I have a stutter similar to what you're describing. I tell people I am not a first impressi...

Honestly I’m at this point just frustrated having to do all the mental gymnastics trying to figure out how to bring it up. There is no good way for me to say something and yet he could easily address ...

Wouldn’t it be up to him to bring it up, though? What the heck am I supposed to say? “I noticed you stutter sometimes, am I doing something to make it worse/how can I help?” Literally any version of t...

Make a list of some bullet points for each “slide” of your presentation. Don’t make a script to read from word for word, I find a script makes me stammer more. Then talk around each of the bullet po...

As a stutter myself, I tend to have to put way more inner thought when I’m stuck in a bad stretch of influency. It blocks my ability to alter my tone and make appropriate facial expressions naturally,...

I get where you’re coming from. Perhaps start by sharing something deeply personal to you? Talking about our own personal vulnerabilities takes the relationship to new levels. Perhaps he’ll then be...

Yeah I don’t think it’s up to me to bring it up. If he wanted to talk about it , it would be up to him right? How could I even bring it up without sounding like a colossal ass?...

I really couldn’t tell you how he is feeling inside his mind as we are all different in the way we process our thoughts/emotions when we enter a speech block we can’t seem to get out of easily. If th...
