r/Stutter, how do you control your emotions when you're facing blocks or a stressful situation? Basic story: I'm 23, I've been stuttering since I was 11. In the past nine months I've seen a therapist ...

I've been job hunting for the past 6 months, today my friend gave me a number to a company who's hiring and I'm too scared to call.

I've been job hunting for the past 6 months, today my friend gave me a number to a company who's hiring and I'm too scared to call. I feel like such a coward. I know that I'm going to stutter and have...

Thank you for the suggestion, I have a local NSA chapter that I go to occasionally, I think that the other day I was just particularly frustrated with people acting like jerks in college....

I understand and I agree, I think my problem is being kind all the time and caring too much, this could largely be driven by insecurity about my speech, but I also think it's because I'm just an ideal...

That's so cool to me. I went through the same cycle as you, almost exactly. My first name is easier to say than the name I go by, so when I'm ordering food and I need a name I usually say that. When t...

I know exactly what you mean. If you know somebody with a stutter, then maybe you should be careful to not insult other people who do. I mean I guess since people who don't stutter never deal with it ...

Everyone here seems to have hit the nail on the head about not finishing the word/sentence for him. I'm unsure if this is just me, and I'd like to know what other people think but I tend to find that...

This happens to me too. I will admit, my stutter is often severe, but it seems to always be at the upper end of the severity spectrum when I talk to someone who either stutters or knows someone close ...

I can realte to that, whenever I go for interviews or something, I do not stutter, that is because u are focused on answering thus questions and your priority is the job not your speech. and at school...

That may be it. Normally, I sort of forget that I stutter. I just finish my sentence and go on without giving it any thought. I only notice it when I catch a funny glance or a slight uncomfortable smi...

It sounds like you are trying to hide the fact that you stutter, wich builds up a lot of pressure. I can't speak for you, but for me it would make me stutter worse. Tell him that you have a mild stut...

Sorry for posting this late. I teach high school math, and I've been doing so for almost a decade. I have been stuttering as long as I can remember. Growing up, I figured out ways to make my stutte...

For me it depends on the friend. I have some friends who genuinely try to guess and that's fine. But the ones who pretend to guess and interrupt me with some vulgar word, that annoys me. And if I'm on...

The did you forget your name thing drives me nuts all the time. After correcting the person they almost always apologize and say they know someone with a stutter. So why then did you just insult me l...

life long stutterer here and I know exactly what you mean and how you feel about saying your own name. I got so bad at one point that if i was ordering something and no one knew who I was I would use ...

There is no reason for stuttering more on phone than in a real conversation, except for psychological reasons. So, you stutter more on phone (and I do that too!) just because it's a unusual situation...

Do you guys have any tips on how to introduce yourself and talk on the phone while trying not to stutter?

I know what you mean. You've got a lot to offer thats easier to show in person than to hear on the phone. Getting in front of people is definitely better than just applying online and I totally encour...

I've been using online applications but I feel applying in person is where I've got most of my previous jobs. I can be charismatic in person, over phones definitely not, but it's something I'm working...

I should also point out that I'm applying to the sheriff department to be a deputy. My stuttering isn't severe as others but I do still have that feeling of fear and hope one day to get rid of it. Do...
