I was a similar situation. When speaking at my home country and with family I can easily substitute words that I get stuck with. If I cant substitute with a word from my mother tongue I’ll use Englis...

Sometimes I tell them up front, sometimes after I stutter. It sucks because my stutter comes out at the worst of times like when I'm introducing myself (I have blocks for my name which is annoying). H...

My first language is Portuguese, but I am living in the USA for almost two years now, and I still stutter a lot more in English than in Portuguese. So, yes :-)...

I have no tricks, sorry. Just wanted to join in and say that I struggle a lot with english too, although it seems to depend even more greatly on the situation....

Speaking in English is hard. Do you have any tips?

Speaking in English is hard. Do you have any tips? Hello fellows! One of the tactics I am using to mitigate stuttering is replacing words, changing part of it, or changing the ordering of the words. I...

Oh trust me, they don't. Atleast where i am from and from my experience they don't. No one at my school knew that i stutter, some of my family members didn't. My friends and people i meet, dont know...

Sometimes you just have to power through it. My shit gets crazy bad at times but I don't really have a choice but to continue on. ...

I relate a lot, and after all these years I’ve done my own ways of avoiding stutter which has caused me to pronounce some letter wrong and other stuff so I do look like someone with severe autism when...

I always dread ordering food. I quickly get over that, because food is life. I also dread calling places or people I don't know. I tell myself I have to do it because if I don't do it, I will let my s...

Yes. Alcohol/drugs give a false confidence. I still take wine before doing presentations but am working on avoiding this....

This sounds like something I would have found really challenging a few years ago. What really helped for me is just admitting it, right off the bat, that I have a bit of a stammer. Boom, sets expect...

I feel the need to give some background information about this exercise. When you are trying to "fix" your stutter, what you're really doing is just trying to force the words out of your mouth, apply...

It helps if I read off and point the menu instead of talking directly to the person. I know, sometimes they only have all the things written on the board behind them, but I try my best. Certainly ther...

I had the same mandatory class that I put off until senior year. I even weighed going to a different school bc of said class. I did a few of my speeches one on one with the prof and worked up the conf...

Some days, I feel like my stutter prevents me from doing anything remotely sociable. I'm sure many of you feel this way. It sometimes prevents me from ordering what I actually want at a restaurant, ju...

Ha! Jokes on you, I have a stutter and I also like Subway! But yeah, pure hell. Stressful staff, hot inside.... Luckily I found an app that allows me to order food at my local Subway. I recommend you ...

You can't actively heal stuttering if you keep blaming everything around you. I used to point everything on other things until one day I went to therapy. There, I had to face what my stutter is and mo...

Don't even think about IQ, dude. When I was in my mid-teens (14-15 y/o), I used to think the same. "My IQ is high, because of that my mouth can't sync with my mind" lol. I cringe when I think abou...

Having to go to a drive thru and order my frappe from McDonald’s. It’s a long list and I’m sure everyone is the same....

What normal things does your stutter prevent you or have you dread doing?

What normal things does your stutter prevent you or have you dread doing? I love Subway, but for obvious reasons I dread the process of ordering it. I also HATE it when I am told to order pizza. I stu...
