When using the "sing-songy" or "slow speech" I feel like I sound like an idiot. Anybody else?

When using the "sing-songy" or "slow speech" I feel like I sound like an idiot. Anybody else? The sing-songy style makes me feel like i'm in some kind of musical and is hardly appropriate for any kind...

I've stuttered my whole life. As I got older, starting in college, it got a lot less pronounced, but there are still times when I have a noticeable stutter. Two of these times was during two separate ...

It's perfectly normal for a stutter to fade as you get older. It will still come back time to time, but you'll likely find yourself giving less of a shit about it, and even less of a shit if people j...

Yes, there is more than one "type" of stutter, it's still a stutter....

I wouldt count this as an issue. But no i dont have this, i usually stutter more when someone brings it up....

I am this way as well. For me, when words start with an "a" or "e" (which many of them in Spanish do) I have an easier time with them. Weird....

Progress post please. Also remember there is a difference between nervous stuttering and permanent stuttering. I dont stutter any more when holding a speech then talking to a friend. ...

I hate to be the guy that gives you the bad news, you probably won't grow out of it. You just get better at managing it. ...

What do you guys do to stop a bout of heavy stuttering.

What do you guys do to stop a bout of heavy stuttering. I am doing terribly his morning. I have only been in class for an hour and talking among my friends I keep stuttering and dropping words. It's p...

I go through good phases, where my speech is actually pretty good. I'll happily pick up the phone and talk to whoever (they can't see the weird expressions that are needed!). It's the bad phases that ...

It's weird, I picked this up when I started to stammer (~10 yrs old). I first started to speak faster which meant I didn't stammer, then I ended up speaking fast and stammering so I slurred my words t...

Sorry for the late reply! My stutter is relatively mild compared to a lot of people, but the most I do is go to speech therapy once every couple of years (I live in the UK where it's provided free), a...

Is there any type of scale that determines the severity of a stutter?

Is there any type of scale that determines the severity of a stutter? I know that there are many different types of stuttering and it's hard to compare them to one another but I was just wondering if ...

It's usually customers. At first my coworkers would giggle at me because they thought I was just nervous on the phone, but as stress in my life went up- my stutter increased and crossed over into cust...

This whole thread is fascinating reading for me. I'm a college student and a severe stutterer and am thrilled that there are other people who have experienced what I have!...

I have had a stutter my whole life. I still feel some symptoms, like some very quick stuttering and some residue anxiety about speech. But they are very minor, and when I feel them I ignore them. I'm ...

Let me just get some clarification, because if you're a non-temporary stutterer, you dont even just stop stuttering. From what I know, its always there with you, but you are just able to control it an...

Congratulations! That's huge. Would you mind sharing your age? You share the same story as many stutterers that I have known. It seems like speech therapy and other forms of "treatment" never hold up...

Good News :)

Good News :) I'm not sure how it happened, but about two weeks ago I just stopped stuttering and I haven't had a block since then. My speech has never ever been this good in my whole life. I just want...

Keep in mind that I have a **very** bad stutter, so YMMV with others....
