Thank you for the help. I'm currently in a viscous cycle..the more I think about my speech, the worse it is. The worse it is...the more I think about it. Thanks again!!...

Deep breaths. Speak slightly slower than you want to. No more than three words per breath. Don't be scared of stuttering....

Are you going to advertise that you stutter at the start? I want to say that stutter doesn't hold you back from speaking your mind, you can still speak your mind, you'll just do it while stuttering. ...

Interview tomorrow, and I feel like I'm going to stutter all over the place. Any advice?

Interview tomorrow, and I feel like I'm going to stutter all over the place. Any advice? I have an interview at Bob Evans, I'm not really nervous about the interview itself but just the fact that my s...

Not a parent and will never be one. I don't want to bring a child into this environment. The economy sucks, the majority of people out there are shitty to one another, and schooling is a horrendous e...

Not a parent and will never be one. Would you like to relive the emotions that stuttering has brought you all through school as a child and even now? Would you be comfortable putting your kid through...

Haven't talked to a person of the opposite sex for close to 6 years. Stuttering does have an affect on me not being social, but the biggest factor stopping me is lack of social skills. I don't have th...

As a teen about to turn 20, it's been absolute hell on my social development. Just now in my second year of college am I learning how to have a sizable number of friends. Speaking to strangers is an e...

As others here have said, it definitely made me much more anxious about meeting people and perhaps more closed off than I would be otherwise. I in fact have never started a relationship from a casual ...

I want to say it doesn't get in the way of me meeting people, as I'm normally social when calm, but it does. There have been plenty of moments where I would have probably made new friends/connections ...

It's direct speech! When you talk to someone through phone, there is this instant fear of embarassing yourself, because the person you're talking to is paying all of his/hers attention to you. If you ...

Yeah, this is what I always figured. When you're face to face with someone and experiencing a block of some sort, they have visual cues and realize this. They wait. When I'm on the phone, the other pe...

I have the same problem and i also think it's about confidence .I guess the solution is to learn and speak more in english ....

I've always thought it's because you lose all the nonverbal cues that come along with in-person conversations. Like /u/middletwin said, if you have a big pause, the person on the other end can't see w...

I have talked with some fellow stutterers and we came up with a few ideas. One thing might be that when talking in person and you have a block (or what have you) the other person can see what is happe...

What causes the extra anxiety and phobia toward using the phone?

What causes the extra anxiety and phobia toward using the phone? I was writing a paper on stuttering, and was wondering why it occurs. Link to resources would be helpful too, thanks!...

Yeah, it probably plays a big part in it. But I also notice that the frequency of blocks, like when you know you'll get a block, is way higher in English. Must be because I'm not confident enough when...

Ha I totally understand. That being said, try to reason your way out of worrying. You don't know these people, they are seeing potentially hundreds of people in a day, the odds are drastically in yo...

I really find difficult to tell about my situation because I think it might show I am unfit for position but Ill try to tell them. Thank you for the tips, Ill follow them all....

Less pressure. When you're drunk, people are actually expecting you to slur you speech so we don't need to worry. When you're sober people are expecting you to not slur your speech, so that's why we w...
