Same with me.. But usually I can racionalise things, amd realise that I would gladly change my situation with any of my mates who can speak fluently during presentations. But anyway, to avoid guilt, ...

Anybody feel like they have to make up for not talking?

Anybody feel like they have to make up for not talking? I told my teacher that I don't want to do presentations. She told me it was okay but I still feel kinda guilty, because my friend speaks for me....

You only need to say 'Guilty' :-) In UK courts, the Foreman/woman speaks to give the verdict. The 12 jury members select that person at the point of starting deliberations. Any questions for the judg...

That seems like one of those spiral things. Like when I was a teenager, I could talk on the phone every single day, no problem. Then I hit my twenties and a couple bad experiences with having to make ...

Now, slavery is defined as someone being forced to do something for someone else, without the former wanting to. In what way are you forcing yourself to do something you don't want to? Seems to me you...

There are ways to hack stuttering at least for the short term, just try getting drunk or doing some type of mind-altering drug. I really mean this with respect though and I respect fluency shaping - w...

No, I think that's silly. People doing physical rehab wouldn't ever consider such a thing, why should we? Ignoring your stutter won't make it go away. The less we speak, the less fluent we get. In t...

I hear you. I also use those same techniques and I block more than I repeat. Sometimes doing voice impressions can help. I'm not sure but I think there's a psychological aspect to it. When you do a ...

I actually did that back in university and it worked. I talked to people every day, and I was soon able to have full conversations with ease. The problem is that if you go 2 or 3 days without talking ...

So could it be that the problem is not stuttering, but selective stuttering? This sounds very similar to selective mutism. I think what Ciductive was getting at, was that if stutterers can speak flu...

I completely understand where you’re coming from. The one way I differ is that I still force myself to order food, drive thrus, make phone calls... it’s never pretty but it’s better than hiding from i...

You just have to accept the fact that you stutter and not try to hide it. Avoid substituting words that you stutter on, take your time speaking, and if all fails and you run into a block, just stop co...

Conscious of stammering!

Conscious of stammering! 21 year old male with stammering problem. Ever since i turned 16/17 I have become more aware of my stuttering and from there I allowed it to have a profound affect on my ever...

If you view this sub and read posts about “what do you hate the most about stuttering “ the number one response is “when people finish our sentences”. That to me is treating her like she’s got a men...

What are you supposed to do? 99% of us have spent our entire lives and thousands of dollars in speech therapy that did nothing for us. You can’t cure stuttering. You can learn to manage it and look li...

Know which syllables make u tick and use appropriate filler words before them so you ave those filler words u r comfortable with and u will eliminate that negative spiral !!!...

You’re in a negative spiral. You only stutter because you know that you always stutter when you order food. If you know you’re gonna stutter then you will undoubtedly stutter. The only way to get ou...

Hi. I suffer almost the same fate. My issue is mainly blocking rather than repeating although i experience both. I have almost complete fluency when alone or with inanimate AI, some trouble wit...

There is no quick fix or cheat to get by stuttering while introducing yourself. While I was at a smaller college I hated the introduction part so I know your pain. There were a few times where I even ...

I've also come to grips with this. I think a stutter is something you cannot fully eradicate, it can always come back. But you can bring it down, so that it doesn't affect your life and stop you from ...
