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. ...

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 ...

Yeah I like talking. Though my stutter isn't psychological and there isn't a lot I can do about it, so I just force through it. Since I've worked with children, I've helped a few of them feel better ...

Yep, I always hated that part of school, too. What helped me was just planning what I was going to say *exactly*, and then speaking it as quick as I could. Keep things tight, and don't pause, because ...

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....

Used to happen often to me too. My way of dealing with it has been "not to break". I just keep talking. Why don't you stutter when you yell, whisper or sing? It is because you continuously press out a...

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...

It's a silent prolongation. Other people have called this a 'block,' an accurate description -- you're having trouble initiating the motor movements for the upcoming sound. One of the features of st...

Same thing here. I stutter on the first word, but once I'm talking I don't stutter until I pause for breath or something. Sometimes I avoid using the words that making me stutter and use synonyms, or ...

> ... sound by saying "oi" or something. You sound very british lol. Ive learned a trick here to think about the next sound your about to make, helps me when i hit a real block....

Seems like you're just reaching a "block" on that particular sound. This is a disfluency that happens regularly for a lot of people who stutter, including myself. Saying something before it to smooth ...

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...

Mostly it's like this: Words get stuck - terrible blocks and then I struggle to get the words out. There's some repetition as well....

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...

I stutter just like you, at the very first sound, but i also stammer at the middle of random words. When i was like 5 i could stutter for minutes without saying anything....

My stuttering went through the repetition stage to the pausing stage, where I say words *<pause> <pause>* and *<blank>* syyyy *<pause>* labels with *<block with force agains...

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...

That's interesting to know, I guess it varies from person to person. When you stutter, what kind of stuttering is it? Like for me, I struggle with pronouncing the very first sound in words, it's as if...
