Away from TSR

wow, there sure are a lots of stuttering threads around. Anyway, my therapist used to tell me that stuttering is just a bad habit that we develop as kids, another known reason for it is that it could be hereditary, 90% of stammerers have someone in their family with the same problem, other than that causes are largely unknown. Stuttering is basically caused when the speed with which your vocal chords produce sound is unequal to the speed of your thoughts, slowing down is the best way out.

And if you are serious about eliminating it, go join a therapist. He can properly tell you how to do the exercises and can monitor your progress in a systematic way, when you do them at homw, it just doesn't work. Best of luck!

I used to have a big stutering problem when i was 9, it comes back sometimes when I talk to certain girls.

James Earl Jones had a stuttering problem, but now he is well known as the voice of darth vader, who would have thought...

YOu can have treatment for your stutter, if it has been going on for too long. Maybe write your problem down before you see the doctor

i'm not the expert here, but if its any reassurance :biggrin:

IMO, stuttering on a girl is quite sexy, i.e. girl in my seminar last year had a stutter, not small nor that big, but she also went red in the face, embarrassed. I felt sorry for her inside, i'm sure it's not ideal for those having problems with stuttering but it's not that bad a thing...like someone says, go to a poor region/s in India, then you will see far more serious problems and issues.
