Yup, sounds like stutter. It comes and goes. So just be aware of that, and it won't surprise you much =)...

That sounds a lot like how my impediment functions. My finely tuned strategies for speaking smoothly will purr along nicely, sometimes for weeks or months without me having to consciously think about ...

Does anyone elses stuttering fluctuate between being perfectly fluent and not being able to speak at all?

Does anyone elses stuttering fluctuate between being perfectly fluent and not being able to speak at all? Sometimes I can speak fluently for several months. My confidence raises to its highest and I a...

I'd say 50/50. I sometimes use circumlocution, but I've been trying to force myself to say what I mean and be comfortable with my stutter. I'd say I have mild stuttering. For several years I hardly st...

personally, i have my down moments about it (just look at my post history in this sub) but nine days out of ten it simply doesnt bother me. dont get me wrong, it sucks when you order the burger when ...

I got that kind of reaction tonight when I went to pick up food at a restaurant. I think shuttering is rare/concealed enough that it isn't immediately recognized by people for what it is, so they expr...

Of coarse it's hard to deal with and some people don't even understand how it feels. I don't know the type of stutter you have. I have the "block" one...if I can call it that. It is as if the word or ...

Nope. But the nigh-trivialization in the article isn't fair to those who struggle far more. And I was thinking you knew some of those people. But we don't need to keep talking about it....

I know exactly how you feel. In my school and college years I didn't do things to my disadvantage, just because of my stutter. Till this day it ruins my life. I am turning 24 at the end of this month,...

I know about that, I have met them myselfs. They tend to have a noticable stutter, but can still move forward when they speak. I have tons of blocks and are often unable to finish sentences. That make...

> at times I may need an extra moment or two to get my words together? this sounds almost trivial. there are many stutters who have extreme difficulty in getting anything out. that's not simply a...

Hey 56, definitely sounds rough. And telling yourself there are worse things out there usually doesn't make us feel better, maybe only more guilty for feeling how we feel. Well it's ok to feel these t...

My first post on /r/Stutter. I'm 23 yo and have stuttered for as long as I remember. Despite that, I have lived a pretty normal life - I have many friends, I am socially active, I have a beautiful gi...

in my experience, stuttering is constantly _fluctuating_. that's part of the annoying thing about it, to never quite know where it's going. all we can do is try and remember that, so we don't get too ...

> speaking softly and just consciously using whats called "gentle starts" on your words can really help to lessen stuttering< Great tip! I have the exact same feelings as OP. I've got the feeli...

You stand just as much of a chance as the next person. I know what you're saying, I see that too. "Excellent communication skills both oral and written" and it might be for a job like catching chicken...

I am the complete opposite. I stutter a lot less when I'm speaking English....

hey, i have a mild stutter. i used to study when i were very young then stopped till the age of 16 when i started to get my stutter back. 2 members of my family including my mom had a stuttter when th...

We're here for you, and I can definitely understand and empathize with where you're at. I had many periods of unemployment in my 20's where it was really daunting to look for a job. I found I stuttere...

Thanks! I really feel today was a breakthrough. Ive begun to keep a speech journal to document every social interaction each day and to focus on the positives. I find that stutterers get discouraged...
