The most cruel thing when it comes to stuttering is that when u stutter in your class... Almost all children will laugh at you... This makes them feel more shy to talk or ask questions from teacher
Wat u r saying is right,but u are a lot stronger then they are. I also face this issue,i have almost controlled it,nd i just want to get rid of the last part
@sree gowtham selva i went nd took speech therapy sessions nd kept practising the techniques they told me. I practise it even now to keep it in control. I went to NIMHANS.u can go nd try for urself.if u r in banglore,or if any other city u can see which hospital near u has speech therapy thn go there.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "ways to help with stuttering" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rincaas Stammify Blocker - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got great success with it.
@@_MaximusM_ bro i cured, these is not a disease specifically it is bad habit of speaking, be confidence and do om chatting before sleeping and wake up
@@badiyahai4142 exactly my guy, its just a bad habit, and ur boi growin out of it. Just take a deep breath, think about what ur going to say before u say it and it will go smoothly. Tried experience
Same here... after conversation i feel like cry and self confidence also top to bottom. But i realize when i start jogging for 10 mins everyday until my lungs tired...this is the only thing i do for overcome on my stammering problem.you also try for a week and tell me result..
I’ve stuttered since I can remember. I’m 26 now and I just wanna say to all the kids reading this, you CAN live your life how you want. I was able to join the Army and thrive. Forget what people think, say what you wanna say and live your life.
me too, I've been stuttering since I was 4 y.o and I'm now 21. still cant overcome this 😰.. and I lost many chances such as asking something to teacher, or I can't even answer a simple question that's given to me. and u know the world you live feels so suck 😭
I had to do a presentation in front of my class and not only did I stutter like crazy but my whole body was shaking ,at the same time my heart was pounding so fast. please pray for my grade :
No worries dude !! Jst believe in yourself. I also stuttered . I did a presentation in front of my class...but It was great a experience!! I never stuttered during this presentation. So I would like to suggest you that be confident and you'll nail it . :)
@Samkelo PJ yes and oral exams and especially Hindi oral exams are sooooo difficult for me. There are so many difficult words in Hindi that I just can't pronounce.
always speak your mind, follow tips , tricks and things that are best for you, I sometimes do that aswell, and I sometimes have to regain my breath in other to continue saying what I wanna say, try to say words in your own way, not normally that wont help but try to speak in unique ways that dont stretch and bend the words too much, that helps me get rid of 70% of my stutters and stammers
Sometimes im unconscious at my face bcoz of what it'll look like while im talking co'z i feel crazy whenever im talking..my reaction was far too human being, like being calm and being thereselves while me thinking what should i do to myself to stop reacting and going crazy whenever i talk.. i feel so embarrass. plz can anyone suggest/advice me anything that can make me strongly prove myself confidently and to this put away my crazy/ugly instincts.
@@yukirimeshu8912 don't mind stuttering, calm yourself and speak gently, no matter what, you can't dig into other people's minds, trust me no one cares as much as you'd tell yourself
@@yukirimeshu8912 I hope it did, Its the least I can do, I stutter aswell, but not nearly as much as the majority with a stutter, gets me sometimes but speaking calmly and gently helps alot
The sad thing is that i would probably been a totally different person If it wasn't for my stutter. i cant express myself the way i want to, my grades could have been much better aswell.
The comment section boosted my confidence knowing I’m not alone! I’ve been stuttering since I could remember I’m 22 years old now, and I’m struggling more than ever, to have normal conversations just with my family members is a battle in itself
6289280882....I am from India... As I am a stammer I am giving my number as to get a friend like me to talk with him.... It can help both of us to get rid of this shit.
The tips : 1○ Training to breath deeply with your tummy for 2 minutes morning and night 2○ speak on the exhale 3○ pacing to give a rythme 4○ not smacking hard when saying "p" "m" "t"... Thank you so much for the tips !! I feel like the second and 4th will help me ! I will try them tommorow ^^♡
Whoever is going to read this comment in future, I want to share that I am a stutterer since my childhood. I too felt ashamed and embarrassed. But, one day I decided that I won't allow stuttering to make my life horrible. So, I changed my perspective and saw stuttering as a thing which makes me unique than others around me. And after that, I had been growing and developing my communication and social skills. Life can be changed with a slight change in your thinking. You will be more confident and stutter less too. Good luck to all. :D
@@erimenti1432just think if you allow it to control your life you will miss out on so much. Don’t allow it to take over your life, prevent you from making friends, having fun, ordering food, go out and live bro.
I’ve been stuttering since I was a kid and as an adult it’s got a little better. I just need to get back into speech therapy. My stutter was horrible when I was a kid.
People stutter because you feel pressure when you talk. Steve Harvey who used to stutter said relax and don't be scared of what people think when talking. It helped him get over his stutter.
Easier said than done. How many times did I hear "just relax!" UGH! In the moment of stuttering relaxation is absolutely the furtherest thing from my mind. Now finding a way to be relaxed as a lifestyle is helpful but finding that is almost as difficult as finding a way to manage the stuttering.
I want to say to all of my shuddering family out there: We're Good People, and the Creator made us Different as in Unique. Our Gift is Our Gift. We may stumble over words, but our Thouhts Feelings and Ideas are Smooth as Sunlight. Enjoy everyone, We're Great People
Everyone is here for themselves or for someone they care about. So I want you to spend just 30 seconds reading this comment, please (I insist). I stutter too, but I kinda have figured out how to control it. So what you have to do is just before you start any conversation just take a deep breath and don't forget this because this is the most important thing. The next step is to start the conversations slowly and not focus on stammer, focus on breathing, and speaking slowly (this helps me a lot). And taking a pause between sentences is necessary. And don't expect instant results, for me it took 2-3 days to implement it and make it a habit. It's worth a try.
I am thankful to you for this tip yesterday was my chemistry experiment where I should talk about that experimental instruments and I just messed up because of my stammer my teacher understood my feeling but my friends didn't they started laughing on me but teacher helped me to get rid. btw thanks for you tip I am feeling better now
I have this problem from my childhood . In my school days i usually stutter almost everytime i speak . My parents was in worry . So they help me out with medical treatment . The doctor checked nd told there is no problem in the tounge . It will heal itself by age . Now am 21 . Still having this problem . Yes the doctor was right . It gradually decreased with time . Bt still not gone completely . I stutter in the statring and many times i get stuck . Words are not coming out . Its very less almost nothing when i talk to my freinds . Bt i can happen again . Frankly telling people used to called me hakla ( stutterer ) . I always dreamed to speak fluently as everyone . Just having insecurities . I accepted that i stutter . Bt whenever i stuck . I dont feel bad now . Coz it has became a part of me . Just want to get rid totally . Bt as its my golden age . It can cause trouble in my professional carrier . Bt till now i think my works speak louder than my words . Bt still i desired to be speaking fluently . May god fulfil my desire . If its not cured . I have accepted this . Its me . 😊
I've tried this and it works 100%. Now that doesn't mean that I've completely broken this habit of stuttering and stammering but lets say I'm 60% there. What matters the most is consistency and doing it over and over days in days out weeks in weeks out. You'll definitely see a difference.
I thought I'm the only. I've been stuttering since 11 years old. Now I'm 25 years old, I still stutter and its so hard to have a normal conversation with someone. Even at work, its hard to explain yourself. Because they think you don't really know what youre trying to say. I envy those people who can speak fluently. Its so difficult for me. I really want to cure this curse :(
@@ahmad_gaming1485 Don't worry about it champ. When I was 14 Had to present a speech in front of class. Stood up there looking like a goldfish, lips moving but no sound, for a solid minute. Came back stronger. Still stutter but ey. We are gifted differently from the basic people
I find what makes it worse is a lot of people have learned how to stop stuttering and I feel like I should be able to do it as well, I just need to apply myself. But I just can't.
Another great technique is to look at a mirror and talk to your self. Concentrate on your mouth and lip area, observing how your mouth especially the lip movements ; opening and closing as you speak. By doing this exercise a stuttering person can stop the physical side of stutter by learning to open mouth wider and speaking at a slower pace when speaking. The mirror will act as a guide. This will have to be done every day for 10 - 15 mins and you will see improvements. I find this works for me.
My 6yr old son has started to notice his stuttering and it hurts me so much to watch him struggle and give up saying what he wants to say. Your advice about speaking in rhythm has been such a blessing. My son loves music and has an impressive sense of rhythm, so i thought he might like it. When i told him about it he tried it right away! i almost cried watching him light up as he spoke without stuttering! I felt such a sense of relief and reassurance that he's going to be ok. All day he used his little hands to tap on his belly, a table or thighs to talk. In just the 1st moment of trying it, he felt so much better! His confidence sparked and he didn't give up at all trying to say everything. I'm beyond words. Thank you so much for sharing and helping my boy!
Oh your comment has made me 🥺 Our little girl started stutter end of last week. Each of my nieces stutter but all their started with a trauma it could be genetic who knows. But the rhythm taping is definitely one I will also try. So happy for your boy finding it helps him 🙏🏽🧡
I myself stutter but i believe it is only negative thinking which causes stuttering!! Before speaking we always think in a negative way. Your mind lies to you it says: You can't speak it properly, you can't go on any more you don't have the energy, it is not meant for you bla bla, and the solution to it is you must thank it for it's opinion and move on . So start thinking positive from today.
I’m not even talking in-front of few people bc i know they will start laughing! Life with stutter is very difficult i will prayer 🙏🏻 for everyone around the world to my sister and brother !
Hi Patricia, Thanks for that exercise, I will try to implement this in my day to day life and see if it helps me to improvise. To the people in the comments below, I want to share my story and just tell them be patient. I have been stuttering since childhood, today I am 23 and I still stutter. Not one day goes by when I don’t think of this struggle, each day is a challenge. The only thing I heard till age 22 in my university and life that you wont get a job if you stutter. My first internship interview for Barclays, I may have been more skilled than others but couldn’t even speak out to the interviewer and had a panic attack. Result Rejected. After a year for full time, again sat for interview at Barclays, got rejected again. At this stage of life I felt I was at the lowest. Next week came Microsoft, this time I decided to say out front, “Please dont consider my stuttering as my weakness”, and what do you know, I got the job!!! At that point of time, the only thing I wished was to go back in past and tell the younger me that its gonna be just fine, just relax. One thing I have learnt is, dont try to hide it, say it out front, please bear with me, I stutter. I know its more difficult to do than say, but practice of this attitude will really help you live a more fulfilled life. Still in my day to day job I feel the same challenge to have calls with clients & colleagues, but people are more understanding and supportive than you might think. Be Happy, Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m 23 years old and have almost graduated, but I’m scared to apply for a job because I also stutter. Your story gives me hope that I will find a job and that there are people out there that give people who stutter a chance to have a normal life!
Everyday, I think about my future because I can't focus my work/studies because of my condition. I feel the anxiety when talking to someone in personal or even on online class. My brain starts to act up and I stutter more because I am afraid. Thank you for sharing this. I am happy that everyone here shared their experience and I felt relieve that they are coping up with their current situations. I hope I can also cope up with this. Thank You everyone
It gives me hope to see everyone here sharing their experiences and supporting one another! 👏🏻 I’ve had a stutter for most of my life that I’ve never outgrown whether because my childhood abuse is too deep or simply awful genetics, and like many of yours my youth was tormenting. I’m getting a little better as time passes and I want some of you to know progress is possible even if you feel hopeless! Even now as a working adult it can be humiliating when on my bad days I can hardly answer the phone, or have a legible conversation with other working professionals. 😵😭 Hang in there!
Daniela Blasco I am 15 but I still have stutter🥺because of genetics.I want to be good at class but it’s difficult.I always know answer but I can’t say bc thinking that I will stutter and all classmates will start laugh.and then teachers think that I don’t study at home😖
@@lizighonghadze8253 Hey Daniela, I am from India, Same thing happens with me also. And I fell very scared, I am finding some buddy like me, Whom I can talk to improve both of us Stammering, are u interested so we can procced.
@@lizighonghadze8253, I lived that life too. I discovered a trick that helped a lot. At the beginning of the semester I would have a meeting with each teacher and just let them know about my stuttering. Most teachers don't know ANYTHING about stuttering so in that conversation I was actually the expert. I had a little handout about stuttering and how it affected my behavior in class. Things like "I will never raise my hand to answer a question because I know I'm going to stutter. I also know people will then laugh at me." or "I will never volunteer to read anything out loud because I will stutter and people will laugh at me." and "Giving oral presentations is incredibly difficult for me because of the anxiety. I know I'm going to stutter, I know people will laugh. If I need to give an oral presentation I would rather do it for you alone rather than in front of the class." Just things to educate them. The amazing thing is that once the teacher knew about my stuttering, and my fears about it, they would be on my side. They would help me. The anxiety relief was incredible. I wish I had found this process earlier because it made school more bearable. Best wishes to you!
At young age upto 7 or 8 I spoke fluently but i started copying one of my neighbours he had stuttering problem and i started stuttering it gradually increased till age 13 or 14 (i had felt embarrassed many times in front of my whole class) and then i started believing in myself and currently at the age of 16 i stutters but not so much a few times a day.. At age of 15 i also hosted 15th august function in my school and i had some problem in speaking few times during speech but trust me that speech worked as confidence booster in my body and i also started sitting in back benches and speak loudly in class... Now i doesn't hesitate to ask any question in class but i make sure to maintain my rythem of speaking.. So be confident and please don't afraid of anyone believe that everyone is an idiot and you are telling them something that they haven't heard before......
Thank you for the video. My problem is I talk very fast and that contribute to it. I don't breath most times when I talk. I have a girl friend who is always helping me with my stutter. The point is breathing and slowing down speech helps alot but consistency is the key.
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "what causes stuttering in teenagers" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Rincaas Stammify Blocker - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.
I stuttered as a child and I was very embarrassed and torn apart inside. I went to my father and said that I need help for stuttering and he said to me whenever you feel you're going to stutter just whistle. I thought to myself what do you want me to get my ass kicked along with being embarrassed. I never asked him any thing again and I don't know how but for the most part I fought through it I taught myself to avoid certain words which would trigger me . Still to this day there are words that I cannot say and I do not know why but among them are vacation and Virginia. So I have a learned just to avoid words like that and I always say I'm going to VA beach. Or I'm going on vacay. Most people would never know that I stuttered so badly as a child and I'm in my mid seventies now. My heart goes out to any anyone, child or adult that has this problem. I wish I could tell you exactly how I turned it around but it was such a slow progression I don't even know. But it can be done. Take care
Thanks! Even I have this problem! I sonetimes stutter while reading in front of the class or even talking with people and most of the time, the words I wanna say aren't said. :(
I've always had stutter, I hated reading loud at class when I was in school, it was so embarrassing. It's not repetition stutter it's like the first letter won't come out (mostly E sound or A and k ..etc) now at 26 i still have the same problem, the way I make it less obvious (it became unconscious habit) is to put filler word between the difficult sounds, sometimes i just act like i forgot what i wanted to say and just move on.
I have the same issue, but for me its the words starting with like W, P, M etc...I always look for a substitute word that I can pronounce or a group of words to replace just THAT one word. It just feels stupid and embarrassing every time I want to say a word I can't pronounce.
@@izzy3270 i don't know if helps, but sometimes when i get stuck, I repeat the phrase I was saying but more quickly and connect the previous word with the one I stuck with and it comes out alright. It also helps to say "ahhh" before saying the letter that's difficult for me, like "I was speaking with the ahh manager" or the letter i "you can go ahh inside" i found these small things helpful.
@@izzy3270 One thing that helped me is to slow down words that I can't pronounce like really really slow. I do this when I'm alone and improve it in public. And another thing that helped me is to speak from the diaphragm and not from the throat.You make sound from the diaphragm when you are laughing or singing. You dont stutter when you laugh or sing. So these things helped me reduce my stuttering..
Dude i had the same experience once and it was so akward😱. My friends were quite acceptin and waited for me to utter another word but i cant believe they just left me chokin like that😭😭
Great tips! I've 33 and have been stuttering all my life. I guess my case isn't the worst but it definitely weighs on your self confidence and your heart.
I've been stammering for 20 yrs and I believe that you have really addressed the issue here by debunking the EXACT method to reduce it. The correct breathing technique, filling lungs with air ☁ doesn't only reduce it, but it also helps you to relax and feel free.
Hi , I have this issue for almost 30-35 years, it fades away and suddenly reappears, it happens mainly when I speak to my higher ups and in conference room discussion when people look at me while talking
Stuttering reduces as you grow and socialise. It's all about confidence. Read a lot, gain knowledge(knowledge is confidence)meet new people... Trust me you got this.
It's just negative thoughts in mind that doesn't allow to speak. When I am well dressed and feel my appearance is attractive, I don't stutter at all. But when I feel I am looking ugly in front of someone I lose confidence and start to stutter. So Just be confident when you stutter and feel you are the most attractive thing in this world. Just think about you are a human and you have the opportunity to live, so give your best!!!!!!
I became stuttered when i reached 26 yrs of age and now it become worsen. I faced many difficulties when i talk to my superiors, strangers and some unfamilier faces. So i learned on internet how to treat it and this video is my first video learning the tips for treating stuttering. I see many positive comments here and feel energetic. Thanks for everyone . Good luck you all.
I remember in high school i had to present a little poem. Everyone went on front to present and when it was my turn, i was shaking so bad and couldn’t even say one word. Not one word, after i got home i started crying and still do to this day. Im 18 years old, and now I realize that there is no cure and i am not ready to go through more years of this stuttering problem but it is something i have to face. I love you all and may all of you be strong
Here's a true story: back in 9th garde my teacher used to call on me to give an answer atleast once every three days i couldn't even talk cause my stuttering has taken in full effect but after me being quiet in long awkard silences and my teacher making fun of me of not being able to talk(she really used to make fun of me for stuttering lmaoo) after like 3 months i could anwser cause i guess getting made fun of got rid of me doing that she is definitely one of my favorite teachers for sure
Four exercises: 1.diaphramatic breathing & deep breathing(breathing by abdomen) 2.speaking during exhale. 3.talking on pacing(speaking on rhythm) 4.light contacts
With my experience of stuttering, it's like a wall that I pressure myself to get over but can't. Happens mostly when I start to get giddy during a conversation but it can happen even when I want to start a conversation or talking normally. These exericises seem really good for those experiences as it bringing that emotion down a peg and also helps to get back into rhythm. Cheers for this
I've been speed reading all my life just from how nervous I was when getting called on. Read slowly and I felt like I was in the moment. Thanks for the tips!
Only a few people really know and understand the fact that root and natural herbs are the best remedy to cure any diseases or disorder completely . Thanks to Doctor isibor alternative herbs which helped me overcame stammering I’m glad his herb works and I’m happy that my stammering is not a thing of the past
Breathing though diaphragm instantly helps. Omg this explains why i don't stutter on the day i do singing recording. Because i sing from my diaphragm and subconsciously do the breathing technique. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for sharing these techniques! Every time i listen to my own voice stuttering, mumbling, fumbling, hesitating, running out of breath and filling in with "umms' and "ahhs" and "uhhs", I feel disgusted at myself and wonder why people don't hate me. It upsets me so much, but thank you for giving me a way to deal with them!
Thank you for this video. Your patience, kindness and smile is very encouraging. I stuttered as a child. After the military I improved a lot but sometimes I speak too fast. Lately I've begin meditating and being patient. I appreciate your effort. Have a blessed week.
The last tip is what has really helped me in my adult years. Slide the words out rather than push them. Pronounce the first letter a bit differently so it slides out easier. Great tips!
Thanks for this! I've been stuttering for a lot of years now and your advices really help. I am currently taking education and it's really embarrassing to stutter in front of people especially when talking is a daily need for the course that I am taking.
Also just remember your stammering is not a problem."You can speak "just focus on this line not on your stammering.If you think that your glass is half empty think again cuz your glass is half full 😉. Believe me when you accept your stammering and you start to live your life with this acceptance that day you feel and you act a way better and you don't hesitate to talk to others
Hey all I am Ashru and I stutter😪. I stutter when I talk to others, even when I talk to my friends, even to my parents or in family talks. I don't know why I stutter when I am talking to others. Normally I talk good. I can give a a long fluent speech to myself, but can't talk to others with the same flow. I don't understand what causes such anxiety that blocks my words. I even couldn't speek my name infront of the class. I feel ashamed for stammering. But, Now I understood more than 70 million people stutter world wide. And it happens to every children at some stage of life. Some gets over it, some couldn't. And unfortunately I am on of those stuck kids who feel a lot of tension while talking to others, bcz I think I will stutter and everyone will laugh at me. And that pre-owned thought kills my confidence always. But now I will say. I will try to complete my sentence and if I get stock, and someone laughed I am gonna rip his throat.👻
Excellent, an SLP who understands the impact of our nervous system on communication. Doing the breathing exercises is a form of simple meditation where your attention is focused on the activity and nothing else. Focused attention is also a key element of learning so DON'T WASTE IT. As you get competent at the breathing focus your attention on the exhale by exhaling through the mouth and the feel the relaxation it can bring to the lips and tongue. Forget the cookies start mouthing or whispering the difficult ones such as your name etc. as you exhale and feel the difference between a relaxed easy onset and blocking. Practised regularly your brain takes note and changes through self directed neuroplasticity.
I've been dealing with stuttering for years, all of your tips are quite helpful. Honestly, I discovered it by experience especially tummy breathing and exhale speaking.
I really needed this.... I have a major problem with stuttering. I just don't get it, I don't stutter when I'm giving a speech to a large crowd, not even when I'm nervous...... when I'm nervous I even seem to speak calmer ... I only stutter when I'm with my friends or boys..... I have no idea why...
Yes, same situation, I am having this problem as well. I was thinking about it and came to conclusion that when I talk with family or friends I get more relaxed and I stop trying to talk perfectly fluent so I stutter more. But when I talk with people I dont know or with people I am nervous about, stuttering go partly away as I am trying to talk slowly and with more precision. It stil sucks tho.
I’m 21 years old. I’ve stuttered since I can remember really. It’s so hard it’s extremely hard to build the confidence to speak in a day to day basis. I can’t even order food from my favorite food place. I make my girlfriend to it for me! I don’t have a super extreme stutter but it’s more than enough to effect my emotions really bad. I have extreme low self of steem and my confidence is non existent. I have a lot of blockers and I have a regular “gu-gu-gu-gun!” Type. And I have one (it’s kinda funny) it’s a trigger word with an H and it sounds like I’m trying to get someone to smell my breath and I just cannot finish the rest of the word. Every time I stutter I rub the back of my head. The feeling of my stutter is a extremely tight feeling in my chest almost. Sorry for the large comment I just have never found a community to open up to. I’m extremely tired people who just think “so you’re just scared to talk on the phone or something?” No, I’m too scared to go to the bank and talk to a teller to deposit my check and pay my bills to support my 2 year old son my girlfriend and my dog and my truck. (Really love the truck) it’s hard to just speak. No one knows how hard it is to be able to speak, but not speak well at all. People look at you so stupid all the time no one takes me seriously and cops always think I’m lying!!! Love all my stutter brothers and sisters. Hope everyone’s life’s get a little easier. This condition needs a little more popularity in my opinion
I understand what you coming from and I know it’s extremely hard to speak if you stutter because I have that issue too I can relate to you feels like you just don’t really want to talk to people the best thing we can do is to improve it and take everything this woman in the video said to us we should do and also read if it comes back read immediately before you really start stuttering and keep using the tools this woman is teach during you speaking to people to prevent stutter
A very helpful and crucial advice on how to overcome stuttering.Thanks a lot man... It really means a lot to me and me like people's facing this embarrassing problem🙏
Thank yoy so much! I have been looking for a video like this since my child does not qualify for free speech therapies, and I need to help him. So, thank you.
thank you my 9yr old son has been blocking words alot of late due to not having speech therapy cos of the pandemic but these techniques have helped him talk more smoothly. thank you so much for sharing
This comment section boost my confidence, I've thought I'm the only one who suffering this kind of shy. since I was a child, I was ashamed, especially in front of many people, because I couldn't express my thoughts and opinions because I stuttered. sometimes I think that I would have been better than the others if I hadn't stuttered, I would have been better if I wasn't like this. here is the one that stops the dream I want .
For some strange reason, i stutter when talking to family or on the phone, but when giving a speech in college and answering questions after the speech, or talking to people at my old management job and leading store walks, i can talk without skipping a beat. For me i think its the thought that someone will cut me off while talking. Like speaking on the phone o cant stand people that say "hello? Hello? You there?" Without giving me time to speak. It works my nerves and makes me so anxious. I just landed a career in the field ive been going to school for as an hvac tech, and while doing ride-alongs i realised i will have to speak on the phone a LOT and explain stuff to clients. Usually after speaking over and over again on the same topic, i gain confidence and have no trouble speaking at all but it's still pretty scary knowing i'll eventually have to work through it. Another thing that helps me calm my nerves and not being scared to stutter. Like just think to myself "ok if i stutter its not the end of the world." Because when im about to speak and i think "dint stutter, dont stutter.." I cant focus on what i want to say, causing me to stutter. Also try to speak in different tones. Like rhythmically. Since i dont stutter when singing i found that emphasizing on certain words and raising the pitch on certain words and talking with my hands, i can speak more fluently than just speaking in a monotone manner. Hope this helps
Stuttering is bad but we can overcome it with time... My childhood and teenage years sucked because of stuttering and didn't even have any friends but I was determined to start anew and accepted my flaw as it is so now at my early 20s I can easily start a conversation with anyone without being embarassed of stuttering and also my social life has got an upgrade
Sometimes we can’t really do much and accept the fact that stutters are unique as they come. I’ve been stuttering since I can remember and the worst part is I know what I want to say I just can’t say it cuz of blocks and prolongations of words.
Yes!!! Of course I'm also do stuttering. And I need a solution of this 😔😔in front of my friends, relatives, family members and cousions I'm sooo shy to speak or ask something. 😭😢I also want to speak fluently and I really thankful to you, you just solve my problem. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much. 🙇♀🙇♀I can't imagine 1.6k peaples also do stuttering with me and that thing motivated me.
Awwww yeayyyy! I’m so glad I could help!!! 😊 I have other videos on stuttering that I posted recently.. checked them out !! They may be helpful to you! Take care
Hi! Stuttering doesn’t make you better or worst.. is like having blond hair or brown hair.. it’s just a characteristic about you! Try to be positive, practice the exercises, and have patience! Hang in there!
I'm still wondering what my life would've been if I weren't stuttering at all everytime I got a chance to ask something to my lecture, I lost it everytime I want to answer a question even the simplest question, I lost it it's all just because of my stuttering :(
😭I don't know why I use to stutter among people but I speaks fluently when I talk to myself I am 14 now when I was in my 8th class oir attendence was going on when it was my turn the word present ma'am didn't came out of my mouth 😭😭the teacher without asking why didn't u spoke ur attendance she starting scoulding me 😭I started crying that time And this happened with me many a times . Bcz of this bad habit I don't ever asked my doubt's in classroom bcz I was afraid that if i stutter again?what will happen ? Really those days were tooo embarrassing and bad for me . But some days before I joined avoid stuttering clses in Bathinda , Punjab , India And i can see some improvement in my voice I hope that i will get rid soon . And all my brother sister who are having this habit plz don't blame yourself. U all will be getting rid from this habit soon . Trust me ❤ And don't lose ur confident and always say I AM THE BEST❤ , LEAVE THE REST ❤ OKKK I love u all my brothers and sisters Bhagwan jii is seeing all things everything will be normal super soon ❤❤❤
Only a few people really know and understand the fact that root and natural herbs are the best remedy to cure any diseases or disorder completely . Thanks to Doctor isibor alternative herbs which helped me overcame stammering I’m glad his herb works and I’m happy that my stammering is not a thing of the past
One of my biggest struggles with having a stutter is not being able to say or not having the confidence to say what you're thinking. For me, this often comes up in a classroom setting, or any type of learning to set, and I have a question to ask or something to add, but I don't have the confidence to speak up due to my stutter. It's really a shame since I know everybody who stutters feels the same way, and everybody has been in those sorts of situations before.
Hi! Thank you for watching... they way to overcome this is to have confidence in yourself.. to talk thru all the uncomfortable situations, to ask the questions in class, to speak up! Eventually it’ll get better.. practice the tips ... pick one that works with you and have patience with yourself! Hang in there
yeah, for me recently I had the experience where I had to talk for my grade, 1st time I was good, second time I anticipated it badly and you can guess what happened...
I'm 14, and honestly my biggest desire is to speak fluently. I have changed my whole personality in order to avoid speaking, it's so frustating... But I'm tired of not doing anything, I'm gonna try everything and I will overcome it. I'm tired of not being able to be who I want
The worst moment in my life was when I was in class a new teacher came and asked my name and I couldn't get it out and I became so emotional that I cried in the class....and that teacher helped me few months
Same thing happened to me. The teacher thought that I forgot my name and used to call me the student who forgot his name. They don't know the reality. We have words clear as crystal in our hearts but just can't utter them. : )
My stuttering has effected my entire life... i became a opiate addict for 7 years because i didnt like myself. Im sober now but my stuttering is ok some days but horrible on other days. People have no idea how hard it is to live with stuttering. It's very cool to see all these comments with other people's storey about
I am a student amd I stutter very much. During attendence and during elocution exams I stutter a lot and some friends laugh at me. But my real friends and teachers who love me always support me and help me get over it. I am sometimes really afraid to take part in programs or in speeches because of my stuttering. But my family and friends support me and i really don't feel embarrassing because I stutter. It is not a disability and i was born with it, so it's not at all a natter of shame or embarrassment
Belly breathing = calm down the nervous system Talk in exhale = reduce the blockage of air Talk with pace of hand or foot tap = reduce stammering P M T = don't squeeze lips too tightly to pronounce words starting with these alphabets. Speak with slight touch
untill i was 18 i couldnt talk 3 words together....but after I try various methods and exercises ... now most people cant identify my stammering problem anymore
This is very helpful! I'm not _too_ much or a stutterer, but when I'm older I really wanna take a shot at being a voice actor, so I may aswell start practising now!
This helps a lot. As many users in the comments of my recent videos have noted, I struggle a lot with stuttering, not just in my TH-cam videos, but also in my live streams and daily life. It's something I definitely need to work on.
I've been stuttering since I was 3 years old, and I just can't solve this issue. Sometimes it get better, while sometimes worse. I recently graduated and want to find a job, but I stuttered so frequently when I was doing my interview. I feel so upset, but I still hope I can find a way to get through this.
Dear Julie, I wish you well. I am 66 and British. I used to have an awful stammer and I struggled with it for years. People say how much improved it is now. It only crops up now if I'm stressed. It's like you're wrestling with yourself. I went through a lot without going into details. I sort of learnt to pace myself and to be around the right sort of people. I have heard how some people with stammers can get up on stage and it just evaporates. One thing about having a stutter is how you/I would avoid certain words which forces you to look for alternatives. Please keep on trying for jobs, breath in and relax and try to think,What the he'll if I don't get the job! Easier said than done I know . I wish you well Julie in all your endeavours from the bottom of my heart. You are a great woman and you will find your way. Believe in yourself. Best Regards Robin Witting
Thank you I will definitely try the breathing one and the last tip My speech is OK most time but once I get excited or nervous, it kicks in "S" words are my weakened Super Superman etc
The support on here is a beautiful thing to see. I have stuttered as long as I can remember. 40 now and it has improved a ton since I was a child. Still present and shows up most when I am exhausted. I will say years of practices and exercises have helped. When I stay on top of them opposed to getting lazy with them, I can clearly see the difference in my speech. Question for my fellow stuttering peeps. Can anyone else when they are talking see a few words ahead that are about to come out of your mouth? Specifically, I can tell when a word will be difficult to come out for whatever reason right before it leaves my mouth. Well most of the time. It's taken decades, but I can now sense trouble coming, take a brief pause to figure another word to use or another phrase all together. The listener usually is none the wiser that I switched things up to avoid stuttering. I call it my secret power.
Yes, but when I know that I'm going to struggle with a word and try to find another word, and when I also know that I'm going to stutter on that word. Then I feel my heart rate increasing, and my throat gets tight🥺
I know someone who experiences stammering who never ceases to amaze me. In the past he has struggled with social and emotional issues related to his communication, as well as used avoidance strategies, but he now self-identifies his "stammer" in new communication situations, which preps the listener and reduces the stigma he perceives. He went from a job software development to marketing and product development, which means he's speaking all the time to a myriad of people and he's extremely socially active ! I've been practicing mindfulness strategies as well with him, as there is a huge emotional aspect for those who experience dysfluency. He's rewriting the negative narrative he has about his communication abilities to positive ones, gently and positively. The social and speaking anxiety is still there but it doesn't stop him. I love that! Those of you out there that struggle with this as well, have heart and find a speech language pathologist/therapist to work with that incorporates ACT mindfulness into their therapy!
The most cruel thing when it comes to stuttering is that when u stutter in your class... Almost all children will laugh at you... This makes them feel more shy to talk or ask questions from teacher
Once i thought of giving up i was too depressed 😔

I had to do a presentation in front of my class and
not only did I stutter like crazy but my whole body
was shaking ,at the same time my heart was pounding so fast.
please pray for my grade :
They aren’t going to give you a bad grade because u stutter. It’s not your fault. Keep your head up 🤴
No worries dude !! Jst believe in yourself. I also stuttered . I did a presentation in front of my class...but It was great a experience!! I never stuttered during this presentation. So I would like to suggest you that be confident and you'll nail it . :)

IF ONLY I COULD SPEAK WORDS AS CLEARLY AS I THINK IT...SOMETIMES WHEN I STUTTER I DON'T EVEN BOTHER SAYING WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY😩
always speak your mind, follow tips , tricks and things that are best for you, I sometimes do that aswell, and I sometimes have to regain my breath in other to continue saying what I wanna say, try to say words in your own way, not normally that wont help but try to speak in unique ways that dont stretch and bend the words too much, that helps me get rid of 70% of my stutters and stammers
Sometimes im unconscious at my face bcoz of what it'll look like while im talking co'z i feel crazy whenever im talking..my reaction was far too human being, like being calm and being thereselves while me thinking what should i do to myself to stop reacting and going crazy whenever i talk.. i feel so embarrass. plz can anyone suggest/advice me anything that can make me strongly prove myself confidently and to this put away my crazy/ugly instincts.

Whoever is going to read this comment in future, I want to share that I am a stutterer since my childhood. I too felt ashamed and embarrassed. But, one day I decided that I won't allow stuttering to make my life horrible. So, I changed my perspective and saw stuttering as a thing which makes me unique than others around me. And after that, I had been growing and developing my communication and social skills. Life can be changed with a slight change in your thinking. You will be more confident and stutter less too. Good luck to all.
:D
Can you please give me some tips on how to see it differently?
@@erimenti1432just think if you allow it to control your life you will miss out on so much. Don’t allow it to take over your life, prevent you from making friends, having fun, ordering food, go out and live bro.
I’ve been stuttering since I was a kid and as an adult it’s got a little better. I just need to get back into speech therapy. My stutter was horrible when I was a kid.
People stutter because you feel pressure when you talk. Steve Harvey who used to stutter said relax and don't be scared of what people think when talking. It helped him get over his stutter.
Easier said than done. How many times did I hear "just relax!" UGH! In the moment of stuttering relaxation is absolutely the furtherest thing from my mind. Now finding a way to be relaxed as a lifestyle is helpful but finding that is almost as difficult as finding a way to manage the stuttering.

Enjoy everyone, We're Great People
Love this.
Everyone is here for themselves or for someone they care about. So I want you to spend just 30 seconds reading this comment, please (I insist). I stutter too, but I kinda have figured out how to control it. So what you have to do is just before you start any conversation just take a deep breath and don't forget this because this is the most important thing. The next step is to start the conversations slowly and not focus on stammer, focus on breathing, and speaking slowly (this helps me a lot). And taking a pause between sentences is necessary. And don't expect instant results, for me it took 2-3 days to implement it and make it a habit. It's worth a try.
💯
I am thankful to you for this tip yesterday was my chemistry experiment where I should talk about that experimental instruments and I just messed up because of my stammer my teacher understood my feeling but my friends didn't they started laughing on me but teacher helped me to get rid. btw thanks for you tip I am feeling better now

I've tried this and it works 100%. Now that doesn't mean that I've completely broken this habit of stuttering and stammering but lets say I'm 60% there. What matters the most is consistency and doing it over and over days in days out weeks in weeks out. You'll definitely see a difference.

I find what makes it worse is a lot of people have learned how to stop stuttering and I feel like I should be able to do it as well, I just need to apply myself. But I just can't.

@trollaccount do u seriously don't know the difference between stutter and stammer?
Is that available on Amazon
Please tell me how I can get that book. I checked on Amazon and they don't have it
Another great technique is to look at a mirror and talk to your self. Concentrate on your mouth and lip area, observing how your mouth especially the lip movements ; opening and closing as you speak.
By doing this exercise a stuttering person can stop the physical side of stutter by learning to open mouth wider and speaking at a slower pace when speaking. The mirror will act as a guide.
This will have to be done every day for 10 - 15 mins and you will see improvements.
I find this works for me.
Thanks ☺️☺️
Thank u for ur guidance
My 6yr old son has started to notice his stuttering and it hurts me so much to watch him struggle and give up saying what he wants to say.
Your advice about speaking in rhythm has been such a blessing.
My son loves music and has an impressive sense of rhythm, so i thought he might like it.
When i told him about it he tried it right away! i almost cried watching him light up as he spoke without stuttering! I felt such a sense of relief and reassurance that he's going to be ok. All day he used his little hands to tap on his belly, a table or thighs to talk. In just the 1st moment of trying it, he felt so much better! His confidence sparked and he didn't give up at all trying to say everything. I'm beyond words. Thank you so much for sharing and helping my boy!
Oh your comment has made me 🥺
Our little girl started stutter end of last week. Each of my nieces stutter but all their started with a trauma it could be genetic who knows. But the rhythm taping is definitely one I will also try. So happy for your boy finding it helps him 🙏🏽🧡
I can't even pronounce my name in front of unknown people.
I myself stutter but i believe it is only negative thinking which causes stuttering!! Before speaking we always think in a negative way.
Your mind lies to you it says: You can't speak it properly, you can't go on any more you don't have the energy, it is not meant for you bla bla, and the solution to it is you must thank it for it's opinion and move on . So start thinking positive from today.

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for that exercise, I will try to implement this in my day to day life and see if it helps me to improvise.
To the people in the comments below, I want to share my story and just tell them be patient. I have been stuttering since childhood, today I am 23 and I still stutter. Not one day goes by when I don’t think of this struggle, each day is a challenge. The only thing I heard till age 22 in my university and life that you wont get a job if you stutter. My first internship interview for Barclays, I may have been more skilled than others but couldn’t even speak out to the interviewer and had a panic attack. Result Rejected. After a year for full time, again sat for interview at Barclays, got rejected again. At this stage of life I felt I was at the lowest. Next week came Microsoft, this time I decided to say out front, “Please dont consider my stuttering as my weakness”, and what do you know, I got the job!!! At that point of time, the only thing I wished was to go back in past and tell the younger me that its gonna be just fine, just relax. One thing I have learnt is, dont try to hide it, say it out front, please bear with me, I stutter. I know its more difficult to do than say, but practice of this attitude will really help you live a more fulfilled life. Still in my day to day job I feel the same challenge to have calls with clients & colleagues, but people are more understanding and supportive than you might think. Be Happy, Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m 23 years old and have almost graduated, but I’m scared to apply for a job because I also stutter. Your story gives me hope that I will find a job and that there are people out there that give people who stutter a chance to have a normal life!
Thanks for motivation man. Good luck for your future
Everyday, I think about my future because I can't focus my work/studies because of my condition. I feel the anxiety when talking to someone in personal or even on online class. My brain starts to act up and I stutter more because I am afraid. Thank you for sharing this.

@@lizighonghadze8253 Yeah the class situation, it happened to me many times
@@lizighonghadze8253, I lived that life too. I discovered a trick that helped a lot. At the beginning of the semester I would have a meeting with each teacher and just let them know about my stuttering. Most teachers don't know ANYTHING about stuttering so in that conversation I was actually the expert. I had a little handout about stuttering and how it affected my behavior in class. Things like "I will never raise my hand to answer a question because I know I'm going to stutter. I also know people will then laugh at me." or "I will never volunteer to read anything out loud because I will stutter and people will laugh at me." and "Giving oral presentations is incredibly difficult for me because of the anxiety. I know I'm going to stutter, I know people will laugh. If I need to give an oral presentation I would rather do it for you alone rather than in front of the class." Just things to educate them. The amazing thing is that once the teacher knew about my stuttering, and my fears about it, they would be on my side. They would help me. The anxiety relief was incredible. I wish I had found this process earlier because it made school more bearable. Best wishes to you!
Glad to see that I'm not alone in the world. Gets me feeling better and more hope.
At young age upto 7 or 8 I spoke fluently but i started copying one of my neighbours he had stuttering problem and i started stuttering it gradually increased till age 13 or 14 (i had felt embarrassed many times in front of my whole class) and then i started believing in myself and currently at the age of 16 i stutters but not so much a few times a day..
At age of 15 i also hosted 15th august function in my school and i had some problem in speaking few times during speech but trust me that speech worked as confidence booster in my body and i also started sitting in back benches and speak loudly in class...
Now i doesn't hesitate to ask any question in class but i make sure to maintain my rythem of speaking..
So be confident and please don't afraid of anyone believe that everyone is an idiot and you are telling them something that they haven't heard before......
Same thing happen with me . Now I am 16 years old now sometimes I stutters .

@@josef.torrealba6992 is it a app?
i think reading aloud to friends or anthing also helps reduce stuttering. but is sad when you see your toddler begining to stutter
I stuttered as a child and I was very embarrassed and torn apart inside. I went to my father and said that I need help for stuttering and he said to me whenever you feel you're going to stutter just whistle. I thought to myself what do you want me to get my ass kicked along with being embarrassed. I never asked him any thing again and I don't know how but for the most part I fought through it I taught myself to avoid certain words which would trigger me . Still to this day there are words that I cannot say and I do not know why but among them are vacation and Virginia. So I have a learned just to avoid words like that and I always say I'm going to VA beach. Or I'm going on vacay. Most people would never know that I stuttered so badly as a child and I'm in my mid seventies now. My heart goes out to any anyone, child or adult that has this problem. I wish I could tell you exactly how I turned it around but it was such a slow progression I don't even know. But it can be done. Take care
Thanks! Even I have this problem!
I sonetimes stutter while reading in front of the class or even talking with people and most of the time, the words I wanna say aren't said. :(
Holy fuck ur 70?
I've always had stutter, I hated reading loud at class when I was in school, it was so embarrassing. It's not repetition stutter it's like the first letter won't come out (mostly E sound or A and k ..etc) now at 26 i still have the same problem, the way I make it less obvious (it became unconscious habit) is to put filler word between the difficult sounds, sometimes i just act like i forgot what i wanted to say and just move on.
I have the same issue, but for me its the words starting with like W, P, M etc...I always look for a substitute word that I can pronounce or a group of words to replace just THAT one word. It just feels stupid and embarrassing every time I want to say a word I can't pronounce.
@@vijayk4475 Why is this so relatable? 😭 do you have any tips to manage your stuttering?
@@vijayk4475 yeah same here, good thing tho nobody laugh or make fun of me. They used to one I was little, not anymore they just go along with it.
@@izzy3270 i don't know if helps, but sometimes when i get stuck, I repeat the phrase I was saying but more quickly and connect the previous word with the one I stuck with and it comes out alright. It also helps to say "ahhh" before saying the letter that's difficult for me, like "I was speaking with the ahh manager" or the letter i "you can go ahh inside" i found these small things helpful.
@@izzy3270 One thing that helped me is to slow down words that I can't pronounce like really really slow. I do this when I'm alone and improve it in public. And another thing that helped me is to speak from the diaphragm and not from the throat.You make sound from the diaphragm when you are laughing or singing. You dont stutter when you laugh or sing. So these things helped me reduce my stuttering..
I’ve nearly died stuttering because I paused for so long I had no air😂😭
Bro same 😅 I sometimes look lost when I pause for so long.
Dude i had the same experience once and it was so akward😱. My friends were quite acceptin and waited for me to utter another word but i cant believe they just left me chokin like that😭😭
Emi Nem lol ikr

dawg😭😂
Great tips! I've 33 and have been stuttering all my life. I guess my case isn't the worst but it definitely weighs on your self confidence and your heart.
same here, i m 34, Got rejected in many companies
I've been stammering for 20 yrs and I believe that you have really addressed the issue here by debunking the EXACT method to reduce it. The correct breathing technique, filling lungs with air ☁ doesn't only reduce it, but it also helps you to relax and feel free.
Hi , I have this issue for almost 30-35 years, it fades away and suddenly reappears, it happens mainly when I speak to my higher ups and in conference room discussion when people look at me while talking
Stuttering reduces as you grow and socialise. It's all about confidence. Read a lot, gain knowledge(knowledge is confidence)meet new people... Trust me you got this.
Painful 😓
I can sing or read better than most of the people
Also I can talk normally by myself
But with people I stutter like 😣🙈
You're me🙂
You described me exactlyyy
Same lol it sucks
Oh man, that's me..
So true
It's just negative thoughts in mind that doesn't allow to speak. When I am well dressed and feel my appearance is attractive, I don't stutter at all. But when I feel I am looking ugly in front of someone I lose confidence and start to stutter. So Just be confident when you stutter and feel you are the most attractive thing in this world. Just think about you are a human and you have the opportunity to live, so give your best!!!!!!
I became stuttered when i reached 26 yrs of age and now it become worsen. I faced many difficulties when i talk to my superiors, strangers and some unfamilier faces. So i learned on internet how to treat it and this video is my first video learning the tips for treating stuttering. I see many positive comments here and feel energetic. Thanks for everyone . Good luck you all.
People always think I’m embarrassed so I stutter, but I’m EMBARRASSED BECAUSE IM STUTTERING WHICH DOESNT HELP
FACTS, im not even a shy person as people see with my actions but as soon as i stutter thats when i become embarrased and nervous.
@@Sule0134 true me too .........
I remember in high school i had to present a little poem. Everyone went on front to present and when it was my turn, i was shaking so bad and couldn’t even say one word. Not one word, after i got home i started crying and still do to this day. Im 18 years old, and now I realize that there is no cure and i am not ready to go through more years of this stuttering problem but it is something i have to face. I love you all and may all of you be strong
If you have block type I have a tip you can try,,,what is your stutter type block repetition or prolongation?
Even me too the same situation am passing through everyday of my life😢
there is a cure, it lies in fixing your anxiety. let go of what people think of you, accept yourself and know you will get over this!!
@@nalbinalbii888 thank you, ill be taking your advice seriously
@brandonj2199 I believe in you!!! it'll take time but be patient with yourself
All stutterers go to heaven, cause we literally live hell on earth ☹
Lol...i hope it becomes true
hell on earth bro💔
yeah brooo

Here's a true story: back in 9th garde my teacher used to call on me to give an answer atleast once every three days i couldn't even talk cause my stuttering has taken in full effect but after me being quiet in long awkard silences and my teacher making fun of me of not being able to talk(she really used to make fun of me for stuttering lmaoo) after like 3 months i could anwser cause i guess getting made fun of got rid of me doing that she is definitely one of my favorite teachers for sure
Four exercises:
1.diaphramatic breathing & deep breathing(breathing by abdomen)
2.speaking during exhale.
3.talking on pacing(speaking on rhythm)
4.light contacts
It’s amazing to see that so many out here feel what I feel
With my experience of stuttering, it's like a wall that I pressure myself to get over but can't. Happens mostly when I start to get giddy during a conversation but it can happen even when I want to start a conversation or talking normally.
These exericises seem really good for those experiences as it bringing that emotion down a peg and also helps to get back into rhythm. Cheers for this
Thank you so much! 😊
I've been speed reading all my life just from how nervous I was when getting called on. Read slowly and I felt like I was in the moment. Thanks for the tips!
Kya aap meri gf banoge
Thank you so much, how did i let myself stuck in the corner for 40 yrs, hiding, scared of what people think when you talk 😢
Only a few people really know and understand the fact that root and natural herbs are the best remedy to cure any diseases or disorder completely . Thanks to Doctor isibor alternative herbs which helped me overcame stammering I’m glad his herb works and I’m happy that my stammering is not a thing of the past
Breathing though diaphragm instantly helps. Omg this explains why i don't stutter on the day i do singing recording. Because i sing from my diaphragm and subconsciously do the breathing technique.
Thank you so much.
I believe these things definitely helps me
Thank you so much for sharing these techniques! Every time i listen to my own voice stuttering, mumbling, fumbling, hesitating, running out of breath and filling in with "umms' and "ahhs" and "uhhs", I feel disgusted at myself and wonder why people don't hate me. It upsets me so much, but thank you for giving me a way to deal with them!
Thank you for this video. Your patience, kindness and smile is very encouraging. I stuttered as a child. After the military I improved a lot but sometimes I speak too fast. Lately I've begin meditating and being patient. I appreciate your effort. Have a blessed week.
I’m so glad you hear your positive feedback. God bless!
this is one of the best explanations of the diaphragmal breathing exercise and how to combine it with talking. Patricia is a real expert
The last tip is what has really helped me in my adult years. Slide the words out rather than push them. Pronounce the first letter a bit differently so it slides out easier. Great tips!
I stutter with words that start with a g, v, s and z and everytime it makes me want to cry :’)
Daalny Schuurman almost same
S s s s s stop
3SUGO3 that’s not funny.

Apdoulrehman Mo some people just don’t get the frustration that comes with stuttering.
Thanks for this! I've been stuttering for a lot of years now and your advices really help. I am currently taking education and it's really embarrassing to stutter in front of people especially when talking is a daily need for the course that I am taking.
This video motivated me to actually start practicing on my speech. Thanks so much for the techniques
Great! Happy to help!

Also just remember your stammering is not a problem."You can speak "just focus on this line not on your stammering.If you think that your glass is half empty think again cuz your glass is half full 😉. Believe me when you accept your stammering and you start to live your life with this acceptance that day you feel and you act a way better and you don't hesitate to talk to others
Hey all I am Ashru and I stutter😪. I stutter when I talk to others, even when I talk to my friends, even to my parents or in family talks. I don't know why I stutter when I am talking to others. Normally I talk good. I can give a a long fluent speech to myself, but can't talk to others with the same flow. I don't understand what causes such anxiety that blocks my words. I even couldn't speek my name infront of the class. I feel ashamed for stammering.
But, Now I understood more than 70 million people stutter world wide. And it happens to every children at some stage of life. Some gets over it, some couldn't. And unfortunately I am on of those stuck kids who feel a lot of tension while talking to others, bcz I think I will stutter and everyone will laugh at me. And that pre-owned thought kills my confidence always.
But now I will say. I will try to complete my sentence and if I get stock, and someone laughed I am gonna rip his throat.👻
I create TH-cam videos from a Stutterer’s perspective. I’m glad there’s more content from people who stutter out there.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I've noticed that with my child.
@Héctor Ramírez It's not free.
Excellent, an SLP who understands the impact of our nervous system on communication. Doing the breathing exercises is a form of simple meditation where your attention is focused on the activity and nothing else. Focused attention is also a key element of learning so DON'T WASTE IT. As you get competent at the breathing focus your attention on the exhale by exhaling through the mouth and the feel the relaxation it can bring to the lips and tongue. Forget the cookies start mouthing or whispering the difficult ones such as your name etc. as you exhale and feel the difference between a relaxed easy onset and blocking. Practised regularly your brain takes note and changes through self directed neuroplasticity.
Tips for stammering
*Don't think about I am stammering
*Don't fear
*Stay confident
Just try it for 15 days 🤜🤛
I've been dealing with stuttering for years, all of your tips are quite helpful. Honestly, I discovered it by experience especially tummy breathing and exhale speaking.
I really needed this.... I have a major problem with stuttering. I just don't get it, I don't stutter when I'm giving a speech to a large crowd, not even when I'm nervous...... when I'm nervous I even seem to speak calmer ... I only stutter when I'm with my friends or boys.....
I have no idea why...
Yes, same situation, I am having this problem as well. I was thinking about it and came to conclusion that when I talk with family or friends I get more relaxed and I stop trying to talk perfectly fluent so I stutter more. But when I talk with people I dont know or with people I am nervous about, stuttering go partly away as I am trying to talk slowly and with more precision. It stil sucks tho.

Ive had a slight stutter for as long as I could remember, Im current 15 and I feel like these tips would really help me in the future thanks :)
I’m 21 years old. I’ve stuttered since I can remember really. It’s so hard it’s extremely hard to build the confidence to speak in a day to day basis. I can’t even order food from my favorite food place. I make my girlfriend to it for me! I don’t have a super extreme stutter but it’s more than enough to effect my emotions really bad. I have extreme low self of steem and my confidence is non existent. I have a lot of blockers and I have a regular “gu-gu-gu-gun!” Type. And I have one (it’s kinda funny) it’s a trigger word with an H and it sounds like I’m trying to get someone to smell my breath and I just cannot finish the rest of the word. Every time I stutter I rub the back of my head. The feeling of my stutter is a extremely tight feeling in my chest almost. Sorry for the large comment I just have never found a community to open up to. I’m extremely tired people who just think “so you’re just scared to talk on the phone or something?” No, I’m too scared to go to the bank and talk to a teller to deposit my check and pay my bills to support my 2 year old son my girlfriend and my dog and my truck. (Really love the truck) it’s hard to just speak. No one knows how hard it is to be able to speak, but not speak well at all. People look at you so stupid all the time no one takes me seriously and cops always think I’m lying!!! Love all my stutter brothers and sisters. Hope everyone’s life’s get a little easier. This condition needs a little more popularity in my opinion
I understand what you coming from and I know it’s extremely hard to speak if you stutter because I have that issue too I can relate to you feels like you just don’t really want to talk to people the best thing we can do is to improve it and take everything this woman in the video said to us we should do and also read if it comes back read immediately before you really start stuttering and keep using the tools this woman is teach during you speaking to people to prevent stutter
i think also a massive factor of stutter is a persons confidence.
If you still stutter I can actually help you with that?
@@ilyXASPER saying they gotta have confidence?
@@rommelle7285 basically yeah. The more confident you are the less you stutter. I know that from my experience.
I am sure one day I will speak like her. Carefree and full of confidence 😊

A very helpful and crucial advice on how to overcome stuttering.Thanks a lot man... It really means a lot to me and me like people's facing this embarrassing problem🙏
Thank yoy so much! I have been looking for a video like this since my child does not qualify for free speech therapies, and I need to help him. So, thank you.
thank you my 9yr old son has been blocking words alot of late due to not having speech therapy cos of the pandemic but these techniques have helped him talk more smoothly. thank you so much for sharing
This comment section boost my confidence, I've thought I'm the only one who suffering this kind of shy. since I was a child, I was ashamed, especially in front of many people, because I couldn't express my thoughts and opinions because I stuttered. sometimes I think that I would have been better than the others if I hadn't stuttered, I would have been better if I wasn't like this. here is the one that stops the dream I want .
For some strange reason, i stutter when talking to family or on the phone, but when giving a speech in college and answering questions after the speech, or talking to people at my old management job and leading store walks, i can talk without skipping a beat. For me i think its the thought that someone will cut me off while talking. Like speaking on the phone o cant stand people that say "hello? Hello? You there?" Without giving me time to speak. It works my nerves and makes me so anxious.
I just landed a career in the field ive been going to school for as an hvac tech, and while doing ride-alongs i realised i will have to speak on the phone a LOT and explain stuff to clients. Usually after speaking over and over again on the same topic, i gain confidence and have no trouble speaking at all but it's still pretty scary knowing i'll eventually have to work through it.
Another thing that helps me calm my nerves and not being scared to stutter. Like just think to myself "ok if i stutter its not the end of the world." Because when im about to speak and i think "dint stutter, dont stutter.." I cant focus on what i want to say, causing me to stutter.
Also try to speak in different tones. Like rhythmically. Since i dont stutter when singing i found that emphasizing on certain words and raising the pitch on certain words and talking with my hands, i can speak more fluently than just speaking in a monotone manner. Hope this helps
Stuttering is bad but we can overcome it with time... My childhood and teenage years sucked because of stuttering and didn't even have any friends but I was determined to start anew and accepted my flaw as it is so now at my early 20s I can easily start a conversation with anyone without being embarassed of stuttering and also my social life has got an upgrade
Sometimes we can’t really do much and accept the fact that stutters are unique as they come. I’ve been stuttering since I can remember and the worst part is I know what I want to say I just can’t say it cuz of blocks and prolongations of words.
Thank you for the exercises, I will have to try these starting today...
Let me know how it goes ;) it'll be fantastic!
I will too
it has been 3 weeks how do you feel?
Donald Hebert same here

I feel like my life could have been way better if I wasn't stuttering 😢
Hi! Stuttering doesn’t make you better or worst.. is like having blond hair or brown hair.. it’s just a characteristic about you! Try to be positive, practice the exercises, and have patience! Hang in there!
How to stop
Yeah I aslo same I live very happy and thankful but I aslo have suffering hence my life became sad
I'm still wondering what my life would've been if I weren't stuttering at all
everytime I got a chance to ask something to my lecture, I lost it
everytime I want to answer a question even the simplest question, I lost it
it's all just because of my stuttering :(
@@serenitylyfe3985 same problem

I love the comment section because everyone get you and know what we’re feeling we have a lot of things in common
Feels like they know each and everything....
One of my biggest struggles with having a stutter is not being able to say or not having the confidence to say what you're thinking. For me, this often comes up in a classroom setting, or any type of learning to set, and I have a question to ask or something to add, but I don't have the confidence to speak up due to my stutter. It's really a shame since I know everybody who stutters feels the same way, and everybody has been in those sorts of situations before.
Hi! Thank you for watching... they way to overcome this is to have confidence in yourself.. to talk thru all the uncomfortable situations, to ask the questions in class, to speak up! Eventually it’ll get better.. practice the tips ... pick one that works with you and have patience with yourself! Hang in there
Exactly!!!
yeah, for me recently I had the experience where I had to talk for my grade, 1st time I was good, second time I anticipated it badly and you can guess what happened...
I'm 14, and honestly my biggest desire is to speak fluently. I have changed my whole personality in order to avoid speaking, it's so frustating... But I'm tired of not doing anything, I'm gonna try everything and I will overcome it. I'm tired of not being able to be who I want
Hi! Thank you watching 😊 hang in there! You can do it
The worst moment in my life was when I was in class a new teacher came and asked my name and I couldn't get it out and I became so emotional that I cried in the class....and that teacher helped me few months
i can feel you brother...i'v got same problem,i used to skip new teacher's classes..I'm 21 but still don't know what to do
@@RakibBinNazrul tru
@@RakibBinNazrul true bro
It hurts 💔
Same thing happened to me. The teacher thought that I forgot my name and used to call me the student who forgot his name. They don't know the reality. We have words clear as crystal in our hearts but just can't utter them. : )
My stuttering has effected my entire life... i became a opiate addict for 7 years because i didnt like myself. Im sober now but my stuttering is ok some days but horrible on other days.
People have no idea how hard it is to live with stuttering.
It's very cool to see all these comments with other people's storey about
I am a student amd I stutter very much. During attendence and during elocution exams I stutter a lot and some friends laugh at me. But my real friends and teachers who love me always support me and help me get over it. I am sometimes really afraid to take part in programs or in speeches because of my stuttering. But my family and friends support me and i really don't feel embarrassing because I stutter. It is not a disability and i was born with it, so it's not at all a natter of shame or embarrassment
Belly breathing = calm down the nervous system
Talk in exhale = reduce the blockage of air
Talk with pace of hand or foot tap = reduce stammering
P M T = don't squeeze lips too tightly to pronounce words starting with these alphabets. Speak with slight touch
I searched stuttering on Google
It says it can't be healed
But then I saw your video if helped me thanks ma'am🌷
U ar better now.... Than earlier
untill i was 18 i couldnt talk 3 words together....but after I try various methods and exercises ... now most people cant identify my stammering problem anymore

LMAO me too that y i’m here rn
Thank you everyone for making me feel at ease..You are not the only one who is going through this..
This helps a lot. As many users in the comments of my recent videos have noted, I struggle a lot with stuttering, not just in my TH-cam videos, but also in my live streams and daily life. It's something I definitely need to work on.
I've been stuttering since I was 3 years old, and I just can't solve this issue. Sometimes it get better, while sometimes worse. I recently graduated and want to find a job, but I stuttered so frequently when I was doing my interview. I feel so upset, but I still hope I can find a way to get through this.
Dear Julie, I wish you well. I am 66 and British. I used to have an awful stammer and I struggled with it for years. People say how much improved it is now. It only crops up now if I'm stressed. It's like you're wrestling with yourself. I went through a lot without going into details. I sort of learnt to pace myself and to be around the right sort of people. I have heard how some people with stammers can get up on stage and it just evaporates. One thing about having a stutter is how you/I would avoid certain words which forces you to look for alternatives. Please keep on trying for jobs, breath in and relax and try to think,What the he'll if I don't get the job! Easier said than done I know . I wish you well Julie in all your endeavours from the bottom of my heart. You are a great woman and you will find your way. Believe in yourself. Best Regards Robin Witting
Thank you
I will definitely try the breathing one and the last tip
My speech is OK most time but once I get excited or nervous, it kicks in
"S" words are my weakened

Thanks a lot for the exercises and feels good to know that I'm not alone :)
The support on here is a beautiful thing to see. I have stuttered as long as I can remember. 40 now and it has improved a ton since I was a child. Still present and shows up most when I am exhausted.
I will say years of practices and exercises have helped. When I stay on top of them opposed to getting lazy with them, I can clearly see the difference in my speech.
Question for my fellow stuttering peeps. Can anyone else when they are talking see a few words ahead that are about to come out of your mouth? Specifically, I can tell when a word will be difficult to come out for whatever reason right before it leaves my mouth. Well most of the time. It's taken decades, but I can now sense trouble coming, take a brief pause to figure another word to use or another phrase all together. The listener usually is none the wiser that I switched things up to avoid stuttering. I call it my secret power.
Yes, but when I know that I'm going to struggle with a word and try to find another word, and when I also know that I'm going to stutter on that word. Then I feel my heart rate increasing, and my throat gets tight🥺
I know someone who experiences stammering who never ceases to amaze me. In the past he has struggled with social and emotional issues related to his communication, as well as used avoidance strategies, but he now self-identifies his "stammer" in new communication situations, which preps the listener and reduces the stigma he perceives. He went from a job software development to marketing and product development, which means he's speaking all the time to a myriad of people and he's extremely socially active ! I've been practicing mindfulness strategies as well with him, as there is a huge emotional aspect for those who experience dysfluency. He's rewriting the negative narrative he has about his communication abilities to positive ones, gently and positively. The social and speaking anxiety is still there but it doesn't stop him. I love that! Those of you out there that struggle with this as well, have heart and find a speech language pathologist/therapist to work with that incorporates ACT mindfulness into their therapy!
