Stuttering probably hasn't gone. It's just evolved into the new behavior. Do you speak this way because it's easier to get the words out?...

I don’t mind. Please don’t speak for the whole community Instead of pretending that everything is perfectly normal, while I frustratingly struggle for 45 seconds to say a single word.. and you know...

My stutter is definitely tightly linked to my anxiety. My anxiety is pretty severe. Every time I get my stutter blocks, I try to get around them by choosing another words or using filler words. I know...

I find that it also "decreases" the akwardness during the stutter as you both can just laugh at it....

Yeah I do it all the time. It shows youre not going to get butthurt when someone makes fun of you for it. It automatically stops people from using it as a weapon against you. ...

I remember joking about it as a kid. A friend found it funny when I had a hard time saying something and then just said ”Eh forget it” with no problem. ...

Depends really. If I just started stuttering early in a sentence it can be annoying to have someone finish it for me. But if I’m sure the other person knows what I’m trying to say, like I stutter on t...

I do this occasionally but I make sure I say self-deprecating comment AFTER the point of the conversation is addressed. My go-to is “fuck it’s not going well for me today isn’t it? I need coffee” then...

Anyone else joke about their stutter?

Anyone else joke about their stutter? Hello, first time posting here. Have had a stutter for like 7 years now (am 16 right now) and I have just become so accustomed to it that I can literally just lau...

It's a crutch.. even when it works, you don't feel good about it (Joseph Shehan). You usually need to tell people to let you speak or they won't stop....

You can just be honest and tell her the truth: you don't like talking on the phone because you stutter more on the phone I got over my phone fear for the most part. I just started calling places ever...

It´s always nice to hear that we are not alone with this everyday shit ; ) I have the same problems as you on the phone at work (I´m a graphic designer). I just can´t immediately say my name or my com...

Definitely practice what you're going to say. Like you, I'm fine if I can substitute words; it's when a word is non-negotiable that I suffer. Practicing helps, though stuttering being what it is, it's...

Great advice, thanks. Definitely do think the elongating thing helps for me. It does sound natural if done in the right way and not quite like Dory haha I think that having stuttered for so long, I'v...

You did the ground work when you were drunk and talked...now I believe it is just to continue what you started. It works for me, as I feel a lot easier to speak when basic ground work is done. If you...

Part of being a successful stutterer is to not care about it. If I'm struggling on the phone, when I compose myself; I say something like: "Please excuse me, I have trouble speaking, one sec" Normall...

That’ll be different with every interest. You have chemistry or you don’t, then one of you makes a physical move. That’s great because there’s not much talking involved! It’s always a risk though. Tha...

I think you got the response you did because the premise of your question may be a little short-sighted. Yes, there are jobs that require more talking than others, but when you get down to it, all jo...

Woah, that's pretty crazy dude. I sometimes wonder if the stuttering is something I have imposed on myself for some messed up psychological reason, sort of like what they are hinting at -- like if I ...

Well if that’s the way you’d like to go, I would recommend a non-client facing job. Look into becoming an account manager for a digital media publisher, for instance. A lot of the times and depending ...
