Everyone who has both talked to me and read what I've written knows that I'm a much better writer than I am a speaker. I'd consider myself an almost-moderately-ok writer (which is certainly a lot bett...

I'm not naive. I can tell you that. I might be conceited at times.. But that has nothing to do with this. I don't stutter when I'm alone. It's because I'm not scared. I don't judge myself. When I tal...

I am in a similar boat as you. I'm 21, and a senior in college. Sometimes my stutter can be controlled, but other times it gets the best of me. When one of my professors asked me a question in class t...

So much feels.... Especcialy the part of anticpating in sound, rather than thought. It's so rooted in our brains. I've found a video (from this sub) that explains it IMO spot-on: http://www.youtube.co...

Take a breath, try not to think about what exactly you want to say, but maybe the idea that you are trying to get across. Then, you can subconsciously put this idea into your own words as you spew it ...

I also have the problem that my inner voice is running ahead of me and just stops at a red flag/ hard word. I don't have this with reading because I control how far I read. How does one clear the min...

Damn, that's the first time I hear something which I can relate 100% to. I use the same techniques you described. And some other, too. Like fillwords for example. That really is the best advice. Keep...

How do you deal with oral exams?

How do you deal with oral exams? Soon I will be having two oral exams. Both will be in English, which is only my second language and has me stuttering a lot more than I already do, so I guess most of ...

I noticed myself starting to do that, so I will close my eyes and try to talk really slow. I try to pretend that I am trying to relax and get a hold of my thoughts. ...
