Man you're lucky. I stutter and block like crazy in front of my parents. I suck at communicating with people who are close to me like my parents, sisters etc. Maybe it's because I don't try to hide my...

I think your confusing laziness with not wanted to deal with the gruel and anxiety of constant hiding. But yeah I definitely think it's a cycle. Check this out: http://www.masteringstuttering.com/rec...

It seems like you think you're stuttering because your mind is telling you you're going to. But more likely (as is the case with me, personally) your mind is telling you're going to stutter on a word ...

I really hope so...I just don't see a time for instance, where I'm going to a party or bar with friends and girls that telling them that I stutter is socially acceptable...

what was it like socially with a silent block? did it inhibit you in any ways?...

You can't let your stutter define who you are. I stutter, and I am a first year associate at a large law firm. My stutter isn't too bad when I am speaking to somebody one-on-one, but it gets pretty b...

It's nothing to do with this subreddit, but expanding my vocabulary helped me a lot. I'm a covert stutterer, where I get silent blocks a lot. Nobody aside from my parents know I stutter, and even they...

No, I don't think I've ever told someone I have a stutter (I'm sure most people figure it out). I'm sure I had some minor disfluencies during the interview; I typically don't notice when I'm stutteri...

Are you a covert stutterer? Do you use word substitution a lot (change difficult words to ones you feel you can say)?...

It's easier for me, when I can't hear myself, that's why I listen to music when I need to speak for long periods of time, just my experience anyway. And yes sometimes we can be, with avoidance etc. ...

I think it might be more about us feeling safer, like we have more leeway than about other people being too consumed. ...

I'm right there with you, friend. I'm four months shy of my 30th birthday. Have been in one form or another of speech therapy since I was 5. My stutter too, is so severe it can take me upwards of te...

Thanks. In the event that people do want some sprucing, my vote is for it to be mild in appearance and scope....

It's a weird feeling eh? I actually don't even remember stuttering in grades 1-8, but when I ask my old friends if I stuttered they all said yes which is really strange. However I do remember one mome...

Yes I feel like that all the time. I started stuttering since I was 13 and I remember being a fluent speaker before that. I was a smooth talker, popular amongst my peers etc..but I don't know what the...

I'm kinda more surprised you even go to a teller. I can maybe think of two stops on my line that even have a teller, NY and Newark Penn. The rest are machine only. ...
