In this case one has to take into account *uncertainty* as a factor. I think a main problem with stuttering, or any speech disorder really, is that upon first contact it can potentially be hard for th...

I loved the part about not stuttering among strangers. I am completely the same. Around people who I don't know very well my stutter becomes much less visible. There are people I know and meet occasi...

Pretty much the opposite of mine. I stutter more when I know what I need to say. If I am working off the cuff I can get by fluently. Anxiety is a main contributor, but familiarity with a conversation ...

Actually, I think the two need not even be related. As in, we can be shy/anxious/nervous/insecure/whatever, whether we stutter or not. It's not necessarily a "function" of stuttering. Of course, stutt...

I don't think that most people find it annoying. None of my friends really care, nor do most strangers that I stutter in front of seem to care. I guess I just don't like seeing it in the media. I sti...

The more I think about it the more I realize...

The more I think about it the more I realize... I've been avoiding social situations because of my stutter I've always been a person to shy away from big social gatherings. I figure I do have some le...

Yes, of course I try to hide my stutter. In many situations it works out well. I've had co-workers that I talk to nearly every day that have no clue I stutter. Yet, I have clients that I barely speak ...

I have a mild-to-major stutter, depending on the day. It's never been an issue in my dating life. I've had people not notice, I've had people tell me they think it's cute, I had one person give me a m...

Yes, it is true. I don't sing anymore. But when I was a kid, I used to sing in front of the class flawlessly. The reason is when you are singing you are not exactly communicating with other person. A...

Well I guess I've never heard of taking thiamine (vitamin B-1) as a treatment for stuttering, but I've been googling it just now. If it works, more power to you. But I'll remain skeptical for the mome...

Chose not to socialize all week because my speech has been shitty. My friends know that I stutter but sometimes I don't want to struggle through every sentence. So yeah..stayed home all week....

Obligatory background: I always had a very covert stutter. Nobody knew about my stutter but it fairly well crippled my social life and my willingness to speak up in any situation. Regarding your pos...

I think for the people who have used pills and supplements it has worked for them only because it has reduced their stress/mindset around speaking in general. No pill is going to cure it indefinitely,...

This is one of those situations where it's best just to ask the person instead of asking a bunch of anonymous strangers on the internet. Everyone is different. For example, I usually don't mind it th...

Ironically, I stutter the least when giving presentations to large groups. When I was in school, I remember always calling in sick or making up excuses whenever required to give a in-class presentati...

Was pretty good. Went trucking with my friend, and we seriously talked non-stop for 3 days. Talked from everything from car engines to growing up to women. Barely even recall much stuttering (but I d...

An alright week, some of my buddies and me met a school mate on saturday, who we didnt see for a year and I didnt talk much, was kind of a weird and shitty eve. At least after a couple of beers I lost...

Doing what I do no matter how my speech is. Time goes forward, nobody really cares about your block and repetitions- they are too concerned about their own problems. ...

I do GCSE Spanish as well and I find just speaking in an accent helps a lot. I find if I speak with an accent I'll be more fluent. Also tell whoever is recording you that you have a stutter as they wo...

I have answered by IGCSE French Speaking exam last year, the presentation wasn't a problem for me since memorized it to point where I can repeat just from muscle memory. The questions based on the rol...
