Just had an Icebreaker for a physics club today, about an hour ago. Basically, we were in smaller groups and that part went fine. I was pretty proud of my fluency for that (haha), but after a few minu...

I deal with it by not substituting words. I stutter on the words I want to say. That said, working on blocking is very difficult and I'd recommend find a good speech therapist who knows how to work th...

You might have to tell the customer to hold on a minute. And tune her out. Say mam a few times to her, so that it doesn't sound rude. But don't let people get to you. They are just stupid sometimes. T...

Stuttering is more internal, brain neurons to voice box neurons. But I would guess it interferes with speech in other ways. On the other hand one can work around it over time if that is the only probl...

Try using planned or spontaneous words before you say accounting.. I love my job, accounting. Best job ever, accounting. I work with numbers, accounting. I'm a numbers person, accounting. Well, a...

Odd! So because they can't understand it, they sort of deny that it's a thing? And yeah, I know it can be embarassing and confusing. But I think part of learning to stutter is to do it regardless. Be...

I don’t remember having trouble saying the word in the past. The first time I remember struggling with “accounting” was just a year or 2 ago. Idk what happened. I don’t try to hide my stutter but I do...

But you're nervous (in this example). It doesn't matter what it's about. It's there and it is probably causing you to rush things and talk fast (possibly subconsciously). Take a step back, compose, an...

I don’t get nervous about speaking I get nervous about stuttering. I try to rehearse it in my head if I know I have to say a word I struggle with but I still mess it up a lot of the time. Maybe slowin...

1. I tell them that my speech impediment makes it hard for me to say words sometimes but they just don’t get how it is possible. People know I stutter but whenever I have blocks they just don’t get it...

It sounds like the nerves are getting to you which happen to me. Nervous/Exciting (basically emotional) situations such as beginning of schools really increased my blocks. ​ Just slow thi...

There are two lines of thought in what you're writing that I'd like to ask about, if you don't mind. 1. When you say people around you "don't understand", what do you mean? Are you telling them anyth...

I mostly block when I stutter and I used to say "well" before I started talking if I felt a block coming. Now it's turned into me kind of breathing out a soft "wuh" sound before most of my words. It r...

From my experience, you probably have had trouble saying the word once in the past and now you subconsciously fear saying the word because you might stutter again... which is why of course you do. B...

I’d say maybe look into some breathing exercises and some speech therapy techniques that could help with the blocks and try a find out some words you struggle with the most to practice with . But I ...

Im having a huge problem with blocks lately.

Im having a huge problem with blocks lately. I have always had a stutter since I was small and it was really bad as a kid. In middle school and the beginning of high school I still stuttered a little ...

The fact that you view talking to others as a high stress activity, plays a significant role in why you stutter. Talking is not technically supposed to be stress inducing, because humans are a social ...

Thought I was the only one that did this lol I feel like it's from my ADD. I constantly have to remind myself to slow the fuck down. It's because our brain has been wired to talk this fast for years,...

I have this problem too. You just need to practice, honestly. Read aloud for a few minutes a day and record yourself doing so. Practice with people in real life next. You don't have to do it all the t...

I still remember my speech therapist 6 years ago that I only went to for like 5 sessions because thats all my insurance covered. She figured out that for me the best thing to do wasnt techniques. It w...
