[@santaclaus179]

dont worry I had the same problem, as far as I can see our dear paige has no problem when she is not aware that somebody looks at her , also she should not do so much effort to speak, if some W or V or P etc does not come out , scip the W etc at the start of the word , also look for a better and bigger vocabulary so You can forget about the words who are not coming out easily, kisses from mexico

[@roy1701d]

It is key for any young stutterer to find one person who has the patience to wait for you to speak. Someone who won't judge, or laugh, or roll their eyes, or laugh at you behind your back. In my experience, such people are rare. 🙂

[@santaclaus179]

maybe very nice to speak with another person who has the same problem , I believe that in that way both can help eachother.

[@rustcohle9267]

Its hard because many times you can pick up what they are meant to say before the person that stutters finish it so you have to stay "interested" and wait for the rest of the sentence even if its not necessary and costs some time. Regardless that, I never make fun, roll my eyes, complete, etc...

@@roy1701d Yea, I do have a childhood friend who stutters and sometimes i feel disappointed and upset that people dont want to know her better or just ignores what she has to say/offer. She is so kind, caring, smart, beautiful and empathetic, an incredible person, that the "stutters thing" doesnt bother me at all. She seems to care about more than I do. I often demonstrate or tell her that she doesnt need to act like someday I'll listen to the stutter, get bored and suddenly get out of her life or something like that. I can understand why and I think you can relate to. She shouldnt be afraid of people leaving her.

Your tattoo "I speak freely not fluently" is f*cking briljant. I might even have to steal that idea from you. It's noticeable that you stutter less the moment you look at your phone, disengaging conversation. I do the exact same thing.

[@lianoisaacs1213]

She speaks fleuntly when she speaks with herself or when she is not concentrating that much because if you're always self conscious about how you're gonna sound and people's reactions,than when you talk try to breath as much as you can it will get better. I love you ❤️ now I know that most people suffers from this too and you gave me my confidence back.

[@AndreiLucaa]

Hey Paige. I stutter a lot, mostly with my family which is very odd to me, I also hate, hatee talking on the phone. What helped me gain confidence is to stop vocally stutter. I just stop, and breathe. If i’m with friends, sometimes I start laughing 😅 I also constantly look for synonyms of the words I’m trying to say (some might come easy) It’s a huge mental drain but we’re in this together. ✌️ keep posting!

[@patfromamboy]

I began to have a stutter when I was in the 7th grade and I was with several friends and was excited to say something but I couldn’t get the words out. I quit most speaking because it was embarrassing. My parents never talked about it with me. People thought I was shy. High school was terrible. I couldn’t express myself and felt like I was missing out on life. I finally got a job where I had to talk more and had to knock on people’s doors to tell them I was going to shut their electricity off if they didn’t pay their power bill. It wasn’t a lot of talking but I gradually improved and kept gaining confidence. At about 28 years old I had improved a lot. Now I enjoy speaking and people can’t believe that I had a time in my life where I didn’t talk or wasn’t outgoing. I feel much better now and am very happy. I wish someone had helped me but most probably thought I was just shy. Now I’m 58 and have a 22 year old son that stutters. He gets angry when I try to talk with him about it. I’m going to keep trying to help him.

From a fellow stutterer/stammerer here in England, this is aimed specifically at the people that are saying they feel alone and don’t have any friends like this that understand what it’s like to have a stammer. You are not alone and you do have friends that understand because we are your friends and here to support. I’m a 37 year old with a stammer for about 30 years. I’m not a speech therapist but I’d love to share some of my ‘techniques’. I’m sure it’s all stuff you have heard before but I’d love to share advice and take advice also.

[@samahbouaoun3230]

I'm a stutter too, but there is a technique that can help you. First of all, keep in mind that it is okay if you stutter, it is only a matter of time to convey your message to the listener, secondly, when speaking, try to focus on the first sound of the sentence, do not think about how you pronounce the all sentence In one go, practice pronouncing the sentence in one breath without interrupting the breath in the middle of it, and try to relax your body when speaking like you are a little bit lazy. my best wishes for you, you are so beautiful :)

[@haunted2024]

I think another good question is, How does your stutter affect your dating life? However, I know it can be personal and touchy for some. My general assumption and being a stutterer myself, females that stutter have it easier dating, compared to males that stutter. Why? Because by social/society standards, its still expected of guys to engage in conversation first, lead, and etc. The extra effort we men that stutter have to put in. Statistics also shows that females that stutter are more then likely to marry still, and or be in relationships, vurses a male that stutters. I myself can attest. 27 years and only been in 1 relationship ever. Twas with a great friend, we went in to it, which was her idea in the first place, we gave it some time, she was patient with me, but eventually she apologized and told me that she couldn't be with me because of my stutter. She hoped that we could remain friends, but I couldn't, so I basically up and left. I became a ghost because I thought that I didint have the right to be anything or anyone anymore because of my stutter. When I began my first semester at college, and at age 21, we ran into each other, and she noticed me first. She was married, had two kids of her own already, and it was her final college year as well. We did some catching up, and that was it. Didn't exchange numbers or anything afterwards, and that was it. Our biggest curses are those that are self imposed. My emotions got the best of me, and I threw away our friendship. It was a beautiful friendship then, and to this day I still believe that we could have been beautiful again. 4 years as friends, and almost a year as a couple. Plus, she was my first friend at the school then because I had just moved from Michigan. However, I understand others may see my situation differently. To this day I still get dreams about her loving me, being in a school environment with her, missing the bus, school stairs missing the stairs, and etc. As always, salute to my fellow stutterers.

[@hywetea]

Hello Paige, fellow stutterer here. Nice to see more people who stutter are doing vlogs. I wanted to DM you about something I noticed watching your videos but I decided to post it here in case it might help others. One of the few techniques I took from speech therapy was stopping when I have a block. I don't remember the correct terminology. I noticed you force yourself to produce a sound when you have a block. Instead, stop and start over whenever you have a block. That way, you can take a breathe and don't exhaust yourself. It might feel uncomfortable initially but when you get used it, you will notice a big difference. Continue doing these vlogs. In addition to it being an outlet for you, it will help so many people. Am so proud of you. Much love!

[@paigewhite648]

Thank you for the advice! ❤️ my blocks are sadly different than most. When I block and get stuck on a sound I simply cannot stop the sound I am making. My stomach (my diaphragm) and my throat lock up and I have no choice but to ride the block out.

I think stuttering is caused by a traumatic event between the ages of 2-7. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I have found the cause of 100% of my clients. anything from a dog barking in a child's face, to a child seeing some one get shot. This is the spectrum that I have worked with. If any one has any questions about finding the cause of your stutter, please let me know. I think if you can find the cause, you can get to the cure.

I stutter for about 30 years. In my experience more/less stuttering has to do with youre mood and the speed you talk. If i talk slow (almost same as singing a song) then i stutter way less, because youre not forcing the words out. Mood for me has to do with the person i talk to. If i know or trust this person my mood is better and i stutter less. Hope this helps a bit :)

[@parthabhatta1963]

I stuttered (we call it "Stammering" in India) a lot since my childhood days. According to my parents, I talked well initially but after suffering twice from typhoid at the age of 4 years, this stammering developed. Initially, I struggled a lot during my childhood days in school and then in colleges. However, most of my friends were very cooperative and understood my difficulty and helped me wherever they could. Those were the days when there was no internet, no mobiles and no youtube. So I was just alone in my world. I passed many years from there on (now I am 60) and overcame many negative situations in my life. I still stutter but a lot lot lot less compared to my childhood days. According to latest researches, this is perhaps a genetic disorder and in my case it seems to have come from my maternal side. Although my mother doesn't stammer, two of her brothers stammer a lot. What I observe from the video, you stutter on Cs, Ss, Is, etc whereas I never stuttered on these but I stuttered on Ts, Ds etc. So it varies from person to person. It seems that you are a girl of very strong confidence and I wish all the best in your life and may God bless you to become a successful woman in your future life. Thanks to your friend, who is so cooperative. Subscribed your channel.

[@nspector]

Hi, really, really great video. I have a question. You guys mention the emotional part of stuttering in addition to the physical. And, Paige, you clarify that that's in reference to you. I am wondering if you are talking about the emotional *effects* of growing up with and living with a stutter, or an emotional *cause.* I know that researchers, for a pretty long time now, believe that stuttering is a neurological disorder, not primarily psychological, the way they used to think. But some people believe that their stutter started with a traumatic event. That doesn't rule out that there's a physical underlying element, of course, but it adds a possible other layer. OR you may have been talking about the usually massive emotional and effects of having a stutter. Hoping you can clear this up for me. Thanks very much.
