I had a stutterer in my class at trade school for two years, but I didn't like him much, so I didn't talk to him often. I know another stutterer since the clique in teen years, he trains in the same ...

I have already freshman year in statistics class, we didn't really talk to each other that much. I just noticed his stutter which was mild like mine and he kinda got embarrassed by my comment about it...

Why not put a note down with your name, what you want to order and explain that you stutter?...

For me, if I'm blocking on a word, I'm not going to get it. I restart my sentence (or part of my sentence) and try to push through it. The issue is that this is a coping mechanism as they say in SLP (...

How much research has gone into the psychological aspect of stuttering?

How much research has gone into the psychological aspect of stuttering? Before I start, some background. I'm 18, I've been stuttering since 6th grade. Growing up, I talked really fast (I feel this may...

Open up about your stutter. It's hard, I know, been there, done that. But it's worth it! And there are situations and ppl I still try to hide my stutter. Or it takes a while till I have the guts to ...

Hiding your stutter is the worst thing you can do. It's what it's driving your anxiety and fear of stuttering. You have a job, a wife. You've accomplished plenty in your life already. No reason to wo...

Maybe I'm not expressing myself clearly: _Why_ do you feel like you have to cover up your stutter?...

I can carry on conversations with some people with minimal issues. I do stutter at home but it is certainly not nearly as frequent or severe. The social anxiety side of things makes it worse so I nor...

Worked in journalism as a reporter/editor for six years and recently moved to magazine editor. Reporting was running through the gauntlet at first as a stutterer, but I also credit being thrown into t...

I'm very glad you decided to stay in the class! I have an issue particularly with blocking in classroom settings. I have always avoided taking classes that require a lot of speaking in front of the wh...

You have an awesome attitude, keep it up! I was in a similar position in college (I'm 30 now) but nowhere near as mature -- I drugged myself up to my eyeballs, partially due to my insecurity about m...

I’ve stuttered throughout my whole life, and while it has gotten better since high school, I still have issues, especially during those stupid classroom introductions. I still have people who laugh in...

College Stuttering Thread

College Stuttering Thread Hey guys, I'm a college student who struggles heavily with stuttering and blocking, particularly over the phone and in classroom settings. It comes and goes in waves. Some da...

I had so many people tell me "but that's curable, right?" Yeah if it was 100% curable do you think I would have fucking stuttered all my life? ...

The NSA has two 5k races for fundraising that are called “don’t tell me to slow down”. Duh. Thank you so much! We would never have thought of slowing down if you hadn’t said it. It’s like someone te...

I don't really pay attention to that. It's more like if someone asks me something on the spot, it'll take me a while to answer. Or if I'm frustrated or pressured. ...

If I had a nickel every time someone told me to "slow down"... Oh thanks bud haven't tried that yet! :P...

Good on you for being open about it. I think of my stutter a screening device, and instead of trying to hide my stutter in the hope that people will like me, I say why not flip the whole paradigm on i...

Reading this really helped me, thank you for sharing. My stuttering seems to be pretty much the same as yours. Replacing words with easier to say ones, faking thinking, sometimes when I'm about to sta...
