So... I've been living for the past couple of weeks actually i think am someone else... someone not me somehow... i talk freely to people i dont know, i order my own things, i solve my own problems... i do all these things without even thinking that i even stutter... and i think its somehow working, not thinking about it makes me stutter less and makes some people dont even notice that i stutter...
the question is... what changed?
i mean what actually did happen that made me dont give a damn anymore...
i had these days before but it wasnt for that long, it was for like 2-3 days maximum... but almost 3 weeks living like that is strange.
as much as am happy to feel more free with people as much as am concerned somehow that this will all be a dream and i'll go back to my previous life...
i just wanna know if there is a trigger for that somehow... is it the mood maybe... coz only mood changes can cause a total difference in a charachter i think....
damn... understanding the real cause of stuttering is sure not an easy thing to get.

Sounds like you are not worrying as much on how you speak and are starting to live your life. Personally, when I start taking action more and taking leaps into the unknown, it gives me boosts in self-confidence, and that confidence shows and people notice and tend to not pay attention to just your stutter anymore.

I still stutter, but I don't let it bother me. You have to keep your head high.

dude thats exactly how ive been feeling lately also. did something good happen to you? the only way i seem to sound decent is when things are going well for me and i just feel better about myself. like for me, i have alot of concerts coming up and i recently met a girl at one of them haha. i seem to not hide as much anymore. and actually..today in class i had to explain my groups court case that NO ONE read. i felt everyone looking at me but i just straight out explained it and i did fine! there was some really short blocks but ive come to find a way somehow and force the words out. i really dont know how to explain how i get my words out. haha. i guess i sorta psych myself out and i picture the word that is hard for me to say in my head to get a visual and i just say the word slowly. i notice sudden changes with the flow of how im talking. like if i come across a word i cant say. i start the sentence over with a different approach and then it comes out. u just gotta figure out little techniques that work for you personally. everyones level and situation is different.

Jamus, i guess you are right somehow... i think the 1st step in this is taking actions to the unknown which surely gives you a huge confidence boost coz u dont even know what will be the consequences for what you are doing... you are just doing the damn thing coz u need to do it... no matter what answers you'll get...

WhiteLatinoBoy, i dont think something that good happened to me in the last couple of weeks... at least i dont remember any, i think its even the opposite.. lately i have been having some problems in my university and needed to solve these problems by myself, i've been hiding from them from a long time but i just realised that i cant do that anymore or i'll be kicked form the university so i started to take some serious steps... and i realised it wasnt as difficult as i expected it would be...
about the techniques i tend not to focus on how am talking to be honest... because honestly am afraid if i focused too much on it trying to figure the techinique thats suitable for me, i'll just stutter more and more...

there's truth in that, if I think TOO much about it I stutter more

if I TRY hard to be fluent, I stutter more.

whats help me somewhat though is paying attention to when and how I stutter.
i realized there was something I did with my throat each time I stuttered, so I am trying to work on that.

also to your point, if I have more of a relaxed carefree attitude I feel I stutter less.

i find it helpful to not be in the mode of thinking that 'i must achieve fluency' but rather accept that I AM A STUTTER, always will, and what tools can I use to stutter less or at least have a bit more control of the situation

I agree with you Jaykon... i think thats why i've been talking more fluently the last couple of weeks... coz i didnt seem to focus so much on ''how to talk fleuntly'' i just lived with my stuttering accepting that i stutter and thats all...
