I just stopped talking unless I had to. Stuttering is a horrible handicap. How do you explain to someone you can't even say your name sometimes because you stutter...

True! I heard about that. I don’t like avoidances though. I order in person to get over my fear. But thank you for the suggestion....

If you get the Starbucks app, you can order and pay through it and it will be ready at whatever time you desire. This helped me tremendously since one of my favorite drinks is hard for me to say. ...

Success ordering at Starbucks

Success ordering at Starbucks So I wanted an iced latte because why not? The issue is that in Starbucks I always get nervous since they ask for names and sometimes I get stuck in words that begin with...

So slowing down is not enough and may not even be sufficient. Yup, that's about what I said (nevermind those who don't stutter, that's irrelevant for our purposes). And also, you seem pretty close to...

I can stutter even if I talk slowly. This is just to say, slowing down won't necessarily work (for everyone, at all times). It also actually happens to be one of those things that people tend to say ...

i mean, if you like biting, you can keep doing it! i don't believe that i should tell you how to speak or anything. for me, it was a trick that kind of helped at first and then it got worse and worse ...

You're fluent then, but how do you feel about your stuttering when you do so? That's often the problem with these tricks and avoidance, they feed the fear of stuttering hard....

Confused

My girlfriend doesn’t care really all that much. She only makes fun of it, in which I do the same thing. We have a good time making fun of it. As for your situation, try and start a conversation wit...

Thank you - this is helpful. In this case, I’m pretty sure the “introductions” will be the go-around-the-room type; maybe I can somehow finagle my way to going first. :)...

Take control of the situation and introduce yourself to people before they introduce themselves. I find that my anxiety jumps through the roof when someone introduces them to me and I have to respond....

Hmm my stutter is pretty bad, so even introducing myself would be difficult. I’ll give it some thought, thanks man....

Well I talked to her about two times before I said anything but it was like simple questions so I never stuttered. But one day I asked her and her mom for a ride to the store during lunch one time so ...

I don't know what Discord is, but if you want to talk over the phone, give me a call. You can private message me your phone number and times available. And just to introduce myself, I'm a 43 yr old, ...

It helps me if I say one syllable of my name so like a shortened version. For example Vincent to Vince, Patrick to Pat, Ricky to Rick. This might help you since it’s just a quick thing to say instea...

Same as telling a joke. The more you stutter, the less funny it gets :(...
