I know it’s easier said than done but don’t let your stutter control you. If you want to converse with your parents, do it. This kind of stuff has a habit of building on itself. Fearing a stuttering...

Definitely a hard one for me. I started saying “Why, thank you”... kinda like a southerner. It’s been working so far for me ...

I think that it does weaken a stutterers speech in the long run. I started realising this when my family would finish a lot my sentences when I knew that I could have said it myself so I explained whe...

Depends. Some days my stutter is really bad, some days its ok. On the days its really bad, I get relieved when people complete my sentences for me. People are different though. Sometimes if you keep...

Nothing was really said but here goes. Last Wednesday I had to present my summer research to professors and fellow scholars. It was only a 5 minute presentation and I was fully prepared for it - pract...

Sorry, I should clarify that I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that example! Though oddly enough, I personally found that I was able to act in high school; my stutter was non-existent in that par...

How I started (and maybe stopped soon) stuttering. So last night I decided to go out, have some fun and get suuuper stoned. That’s a typical fun night out with the boys for me and nothing was new, but...

Blocking on people's names. Any advice?

Blocking on people's names. Any advice? Hi, I can say certain names fine, but some I just block and can't say them. Names are difficult as I can't substitute a name for another word I can say. Par...

Often I skip the "th" part and just say "ank you". Works much better for me and no one has ever seemed to notice....

I've found it much better for me to say 'Cheers' as I struggle way less with that than "thank you", depends on your situation though....

i have tried that before..still didn't work.. i have tried psyching myself.. and my tongue gets tied.. I am not giving up though.. i can't afford to as I need a job asap. I am hoping i get past this h...
