Stuttering is a PHYSICAL REACTION to a MENTAL stimulus: anxiety. When you think you are going to stutter, you get anxious, which makes you stutter. Stuttering causes anxiety, not anxiety causes stutte...

If you find that a particular sound is consistently giving you trouble, try revisiting how you pronounce that sound. When you get stuck on the 'h' in 'here', I bet the block happens way in the back...

I agree but if you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious about your stutter is better if you tell your teacher that you stutter. You can still practice that Hh sound in the mean time. Remember, the mo...

I know how you feel. When I was in high school I felt terrified of saying "here", so I would say it very quietly and raise my hand. But if I were to go back in time I would tell all my teachers that...

Yep. In 8th grade (I'm a senior now) instead of "um" or "uh" I would make this weird ticking sound. Freshman year, when I stuttered I would make this choking sound. That was horrible....

that's right. On the outside im very open and ok with my stutter but subconsciously im obviously still very uncomfortable about it. But fighting these secondary stutter behaviors is the way to go. eve...

Sometimes I find this happens to me too, especially if I am nervous while talking on the phone. My lungs feel like they shrunk and my throat closes up ...

Lungs because I run out of breath a lot, and throat because I get throat convulsions when I strain it. It's a long story. ...

In what ways do your lungs and throat cause the stutter? That's cool how you adopted your grandparents' Serbian accent. Do you also speak multiple languages? Sometimes people may stutter in one langua...

No I always stutter. The cause of my stutter are lungs and throat. So there isn't a lot I can do about it. Since my grandparents are from Northern Serbia (I'm Serbian btw), I've adopted their accent ...

I would say I get blocks on vowels and the letter "t" then once finally finish my sentence my tongue and lips feel like jello because they are exhausted from just trying to talk....

Do any of you say "um" or "uhh" repetitively?

Do any of you say "um" or "uhh" repetitively? When I stutter when talking I usually go, "Hi my name is um, umm, um, uhh, uhh, um, gravitycloudfilms, and during this i'm usually bouncing up and down or...

I also have a two part stutter : 1. I don't know what to call it it's like a tongue click and it starts whenever I read in class or I talk in front of large group of people. 2. I sometimes get out o...

I feel like someone is strangling me. I become breathless as I try and try and try to say the word, and ultimately when I say it, I gulp for air like I was drowning. Kind of embarrassing but I hold my...

It feels like my face is convulsing, whenever I try to force a word out. Usually I can go for the "soft" start approach, so I mostly struggle with the hard consonants (which German has way too many sa...

I would describe my stuttering as exhausting. Yes, i have learned a few techniques to keep myself from getting stuck or doing repetitions but i forget all those techniques once i need to have a conve...

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...

TIP number 2, as you said its just a temporary solution. You will adapt with it and it wont work for long. Number 3, as i have "blocks" or "stammer" i dont know how you call it in english. I usually ...

I haven't really noticed an urge per say to move but looking back I'd say I tend to fidget a bit more. But I guess I don't really get an urge, its seems more of a sub-conscious thing....

It's my pleasure. It must be a real weird and scary change that you've been hit. You're going to see a doctor, but I would also recommend seeing an SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist) as they would be a...
