It definitely feels like it's to do with having to defend myself in some way. Basted stutter....

sure thing -- When I wrote that I meant it in a long term sort of way. As in in the middle of a block many people "panic" and do all sorts of things that they think* might help them get out of the bl...

I'll try to keep this in mind. I have always noticed I hit a block when trying to order food and stuff. Now I just need to figure out what to do about it. ...

Trouble with beginning sounds

Trouble with beginning sounds I have had a mild stammer/stutter ever since I was a child. It is mainly a product of my rapid speech but I have noticed that I also struggle to get out the begging sound...

No, I'm Dutch. As I've implied, my stuttering is barely noticable in clinical situations. I think it is mostly because I'm more aware of my tone, word choice, etc., in those situations. Maybe somewha...

Pretty hard to gain social skills if I can barely talk. My stuttering gets so bad at some points I cannot be understood. Edit: The "basics" of life is already incredibly hard for me. I don't think I ...

I honestly would probably just be really surprised, then start tripping over words like there's no tomorrow, then somehow be able to speak fluently, thus killing what she liked in me....

I know this all too well. I only block so people think it's a prank call or something as they can't hear anything. I'm really tired of being a hostage though. You're not alone....

As a blocker going overt usually ends up in someone asking me if I need medical assistance. :P...

At least for me it is typically triggered by a sudden burst of anxiety, but then I block 90% or more of the times I am disfluent. It's definitely psychological in nature although I agree that it's not...

You stutter, cant say out any words. Boss: Hello, this is "insert name" Me: Hey, i-i......................................... Boss: Hello? Who is this? Me: ............................hh.............

I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but having a word at the beginning of a sentence that starts with a vowel is harder to say than a consonant....

Uggggg! The infamous blocks! As a chronic blocker myself, I feel your pain. Especially because most people see stutters as just repetitions and get really confused and don't understand the fact that f...

Mostly blocks. Really bad blocks. But, when I was smaller I used to repeat myself a hell of a lot. Edit: And thanks for the kind comment!...

fellow stutterers unite! (or should I say u-u-u-nite) In all seriousness, awesome job! I'm working towards this. Do you get primarily blocks or repetitions? ...

Everyone here has great tips, but as an ESL teacher, here's a couple I use. * The "uh-" bounce trick that the King in the King's Speech used. Like if you're going to stutter on boat, say "uh-BOAT", m...

Confidence is key. Sometimes its unavoidable tho. What i would do is just push thru it. Its not a specific technique or strategy to use. Just keep your head up and power thru. No worries homie....

Doesn't sound like a stutter. A stutter feels like this intense tension within your vocal chords; a moment of intense struggle to get even a simple syllable out despite a calm demeanor and a liquid m...

It doesn't sound like stuttering to me. If I'm stuttering, I know what I want to say, but my speech muscles aren't moving like they should. However, you might want to talk with a Speech Language Path...

Doesn't sound like a stutter to me. Also, there is nothing wrong with talking slow, if done right, it hold the attention of the listener because they are clinging on to what you are going to say next...
