Names for me are definitely the worst yeah. My manager's name is Andrew so I struggle with that. As well as substitute words I'd say the main thing I do is to say 2 words as if it was one word. For...

Out of curiosity what techniques do you use to get by? I mainly just rely on substitute words. The worst is when I can't use a substitute word i.e. a name or something....

same here. it's strange, isn't it? >Could it be because I'm so focused on "winning" the debate and I know if I stutter it will lessen those chances, so I don't?? this is a good analysis. i was th...

I'm actually in exactly the same position as you (albeit only at my job for a year rather than longer). I've block stuttered since I was around 15. It was worse then and now I've reached a stage whe...

I guess that's true.. I'll discuss it with the group next time I'll see them and who knows what'll happen....

>doubting my ability to convey my story in speech because of my stutter I dreaded ruining the delivery as well. But I realized it was more important to me to actually deliver something than to do ...

Me too! Except with Pathfinder, though. I tried working up to running a campaign a few years back, but I failed back then. The closer I got to actually delivering, the worse I felt about it. This ti...

>how I can make it the norm This most likely is not possible. Just so you don't think it's due to any failing on your part. :) Stutter tends to vary with context (or rather, what we're performing...

Are you in our Discord? Because there's someone in our Discord who's like that too, with arguing specifically. We all have our little quirks and magical situational fluencies. It's probably good for...

No. I’ve had therapy. Some good. A lot bad. I participate in a lot of self help. Who i am and how i see my stuttering is reflected in the journey. ...

I think it should be. I had to look it up but I've definitely resorted to cluttering in the past to avoid blocking. It seems like there's a lot of overlap....

Sometimes it's because you know exactly what you want to say in those situations. You have to think quicker so your mind's initial thought matches what you try to say. Or it could be that the willingn...

Very refreshing to hear all of these answers. I remember as a kid that even though everyone knew I stuttered, I would get made fun of quite a bit and so till this day I just try to hide it instead of ...

I've been thinking of DM'ing a D&D game for my friends aswell. I love to worldbuild and would be able to write out an entire universe if necessary, however i am doubting my ability to convey my st...

What I do, is I don't bring it up. but when i have a hard time, like stuttering, i always say "ugh sorry I can't talk sometimes" and that's all and people understand, at least mine do. My coworkers ar...

No so long ago - my focus was to be a fluent speaker. This mindset can set up to feel like a failure. Which can add to a shame spiral about your stuttering. My focus is now about being an effective ...

Ah, that is good advice! I’m trying to myself to just say what I want to, when I want to. A big part of being a stutter is taking control the stutter, IMO. At least that’s what helps for me. As anth...

mr manukha i have a degree in Sociology and Anthropology, but i'm facing problem in term of jobs. most of my degree jobs needs candidates who have good communication, i'm stressed i have no solution. ...

Why not just show up in person? I was the same as you over the phone. My speech therapist told me the best remedy for that was to just keep doing it and get over it. You wont be able to avoid the pho...
