@@briarts … I mean, I’m not saying it was totally terrible. I’m glad I went. Because I hadn’t been to an NSA conference in 19 years, so it was good to go again especially after the cancellation last year do to the pandemic. I was happy they were unexpectedly able to make one possible this year but it just wasn’t the same as it was 2 decades ago when I went before.

I went in 2001 when it was in Boston Massachusetts. Then I went the following year in Anaheim California. Those were the days, went this year and it was a total disappointment. NSA isn’t the same after 19 years

It can feel like you are drowning on air. Because sometimes even trying to taking a deep breath first can create a paradoxical affect when the result is speech blockage. What to do with all the stored air in your lungs as you get wrapped up in the moment. Psychologically it feels like trying to untie a complex knot and getting yourself tied into it. The more you struggle with it the worse it gets, like quicksand. A stutterer never knows when a human interaction is going to spin out of control into a chaotic state. Spin out into infinity... it is what it is. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, yet it can be difficult in a school setting when you know the answers yet are unable to raise your hand and speak them aloud. Catholic schools are the worse for stutterers as nuns can be very cruel.

I don't stutter myself, so I am wondering what it feels like when a person who stutters gets stuck. I am blind and therefore understand what it is like to be different. I am asking the question because I feel it is important to understand what people with disabilities other than mine go through. also, would you class stuttering or stammering as we call it in the UK a disability?
@briarts
7 жыл бұрын
It depends on the person & situation. For some, getting stuck can be uncomfortable & cause anxiety. Others don't have a problem with it. Yes, stuttering/stammering is legally recognized as a disability here in the US.

I recently read someone describing blocking like trying to speak without letting any air out. I do not stutter either, and tried this. It was disturbing and scary. People on the thread said it was a good approximation of the physical inability to get a word out. Of course, there is a whole emotional side that many many suffer with overall from stuttering, and during an actual block. I've read many talk about the panic that comes over them when they cannot get a sound out, panic, shame, desperation. They try to force it out, which doesn't actually help, but for some it is all they can do. Others have somehow (thru all different avenues) gotten to a mindset where they do not feel these terrible emotional reactions and are just more comfortable stuttering. That is a kind of liberation, of course. Still might be frustration and even maybe sometimes embarrassment, but not to the crippling point it might have been earlier in their lives. (I've read a LOT about stuttering for a lay person who doesn't stutter.)

That's exactly right. Yes, it actually is trying to speak without letting air out, so it becomes exhausting and distressing. Forcing it out never helps.

@@briarts Oh, I saw this, but never actually replied. I'm glad to hear from someone who stutters that that description is pretty accurate. I just now tried it again, trying to say whatever I could without letting air out. I could only say the beginnings of some letter sounds -- not all because some you simply cannot say at without letting some air out -- and even those were restricted greatly with no air. It's only a kind of simulation of what it must be like, but yeah, I think non-stutterers trying this could get some small sense of physically not being able to get a sound out. So many people think it has to do with being nervous, or not breathing, or not "slowing down," with no conception that it's a physiological inability to speak, and no way to experience a tiny bit of what that is like.
