Managed to say my name today fluently

Managed to say my name today fluently Hi, I had such an interesting experience today. I’m a 27 year old male. I was on vacation and I met someone and said “hi, I’m ____. I’m _____’s son”. It was ins...

That you can’t always say what you want to say. That it sometimes takes great effort to say the simplest of phrases, including your own name - or in my case also the name of my wife… That just the ...

Yes always. Sometimes 2/3 words ahead I’ll know it’s coming. I’ll swap the word if I can. I’ve tried to push past it before to see if it was just a mental thing, but 90% of the time I was right and...

Similar for me but usually it's when starting sentences, I just know based on the sounds it starts with or if I'm too excited to talk...

I guess I'm just looking for people's opinions

I guess I'm just looking for people's opinions I've noticed I stutter significantly more when I'm talking to people or when I think someone can hear me, even if it's someone I'm comfortable with lik...

I know this is an old post but I just came across it while searching for yips in this subreddit. At least for me the answer is a resounding YES. When alone in a room, I am fluent and have no speech bl...

Best Man Speech Complete!

Best Man Speech Complete! I recently what tasked with being best man in my friends wedding. This meant having to do the dreaded best man speech which I thought I wouldn’t ever have to do as someone wh...

It is probably an obsession for most of us. No matter how fluent Ive become that nagging fear remains that I right randomly stutter and embarrass myself....
