Don't hold yourself back

Don't hold yourself back I recently built up the courage to attend a career fair at my college. I had been debating whether or not I should go for a while. However, I realized that I have to do things...

Well, it went better than I thought...Unfortunately I avoided situations where I had to talk so I didn't push myself to the point where my stutter shows most, partially that's why it was a good day th...

I stutter worst around my parents for some reason. I made a completely new group of friends and I never stuttered around them. Until I got drunk, then it was bad. I also stutter when hungover, like my...

It hasn't really. I get really into my teaching and aren't really thinking about my stutter. It's like playing a different character. My stutter is absolutely connected to stress though, and currently...

So there have been times in the past where ive felt very confident for whatever reason and have been as fluent as anyone. Lately though ive been through some hardships and have been blocking more than...

Saying "fuck" expressively in the middle of a block while talking to assorted authority figures like parents, principals, teachers, and so on, as a subconscious way to get past the block. ...

Sounds similar to me, aside from the parent/cold triggers. I've had a really stressful summer and I've seen my stutter get significantly worse (still managable, but hard, especially at social events)....
