Thank you for the response. I do not have ADHD but I suspected I had ADD due to my inability to focus on what people are saying. What medications can be used as training wheels for stuttering? My ...

Very interesting, I just found this sub and this is almost my exact experience. When I was a kid I would get blocked allllll the time. One of my teachers would call on me to read in class constantly (...

I've been trying this out this week during the rare occasions where I remember about it... and I think it helps! I had a very impromptu meeting at work with two high-profile media representatives, and...

Question on anticipation

Question on anticipation Hey folks, let me start with some background. I'm 26 and have been seeing an SLP for about a year now. I have much more control, smaller reactions, and much less tension in ...

That's actually a great piece of advice for diffusing the tension at a job interview. I always worry they're staring at me thinking "the hell is wrong with this guy?" and that makes me even more anxio...

Software engineering. I was so nervous at first and I actually stumbled when introducing myself, but as time went on, it got better....

I know exactly what you mean. I had just joined college and I was giving the first presentation of my life. I had been stressing over it for weeks and I was 100% sure that I would embarrass myself in ...

Interview tomorrow, and I feel like I'm going to stutter all over the place. Any advice?

Interview tomorrow, and I feel like I'm going to stutter all over the place. Any advice? I have an interview at Bob Evans, I'm not really nervous about the interview itself but just the fact that my s...

What I do is take a breath through my mouth and then exhale a little and start saying the word. If the word happens to be plosive(like B, P, G etc.) I add in a little H right before saying the actual ...

Pretty common. Likely because you dont want to stutter and the pressure/risk is greatest at the start of speaking. There are some "fluency techniques" you can like easing into the first word like Stav...

Definitely common for me, I haven't figured out a solid solution other than trying to ease into the first sound/word and hope for the best. It's hit or miss...

I think this may help some of you...

I think this may help some of you... I stutter. It's not too bad, there are days when I speak fluently and then the next is a total shipwreck. I find that in situations where the spotlight is on me an...

Oh gosh, I just saw I forgot to reply to your questions. Sorry about that! Grad school got in the way. Anyway, I don't mind answering your questions publicly. 1.) I think the origin of my anxiety is...

Blocks are hard....that being said, from what I've read/experienced, blocks are generally the result of anticipating that you'll stutter and just trying "force" the sound out. So, not an easy fix for ...

Thanks, it was a great read. But one thing here made me think. The guy giving speech said this: " All of us can talk just fine when we’re alone.". And in my case, this is not correct at all. I stil...

I too experience this on a daily basis. Although I feel comfortable around my parents, I actually have blocks around them the most. With close friends, I probably experience my best fluency. And as fa...

Something I would like to share.

Something I would like to share. Hi /r/stutter. So I don't have a HUGE problem with stuttering, but it's enough to bother me. The problem tends to arise when I'm out in public and I have to speak to ...

Hello from Indiana! Question about the dating scene.

Hello from Indiana! Question about the dating scene. Hey everyone, my name's Archie. I live in Fort Wayne, IN. I'm 23 and still in the dating scene. My ability to meet new girls has been very limited ...

Think of stuttering as an iceberg model i.e. 10% is what you see, 90% is what you don't see. The act of stuttering is just the end result of a myriad of other things that went wrong i.e. word scanni...
