> Okay so here's a q - how do you accept it? Like what steps do I need to do? I hear all the time once you accept it, it's easier but how? Acceptance is a gradual process. It doesn't all happen a...

So okay I tried that but I've gotten these conclusions - their tone doesn't seem nice, I feel like I'm bothering them when they can help someone else or I'm asking a dumb q I can find on their website...

Exactly. Okay so I tried that but (maybe you feel the same way idk) when I do that, it seems like they're not really interested like in their tone or don't you feel that you are wasting their time the...

Sometimes the tool is putting a word or syllable in front of the main word. I cannot, for the life of me, say “Italy” (or similar word) alone (beginning of a sentence) under any condition - tense or r...

It's good your not complacent. This means you are at the point where you are open to take some steps. For example, you could start calling store and ask simple questions to practice speaking on the ph...

I guess with me it's like a subconscious self learned habit. When I really don't have to be fluent I'm not. Peak stuttering for me is in a relaxed conversation with a small group, and it's slightly le...

You need to push yourself out of your comfort zone. For me it took me till I got to my mid-20's and the pain of not progressing in life got more unbearable than the pain or fear of stuttering. Honestl...

I've been to speech therapy for most of my life - those strategies only seem to work when I'm talking in low-pressue situations (with my pathologist, family, friends, etc.) and not in "higher-stake" s...

While it is true that you cannot be sure that it's because of your speech, a lot of stammerers are employed in jobs where they are required to speak, including myself. You have to stand out, if you sh...

How? I mean like I think they think why would we give a job to her who can't communicate properly even on the phone? We can get another person who has similar background with better speaking skills. ...

As much as I sympathize with you, you can't blame your speech for everything. You have to be the person who really wants that job and you can get any job you bloody well want. Just work hard for it, y...

What jobs/careers do you have or do you suggest?

What jobs/careers do you have or do you suggest? So I've been out of college for a while (over a year) and am having a real hard time finding a job. I think it's purely because of my speech. I mean I ...

Most restaurants have numbers on the menu so most of the time I just say those. I mostly let other people order for me or go to the bathroom before the waiter comes. Maybe not the best way to deal wi...

I used sertraline, which is a anti depressant mostly used for teenagers. It did help me but was changing my mood quite a bit, much happier but artificial. Situations like vocal exams were still hell, ...

Make them wait. Resisting time pressure is a key skill in managing stuttering....

I always say it if I can't say a word for over 3 seconds. Everyone says thats okay take your time...

How to use filler words and still sound smart - Stuttering Habits

How to use filler words and still sound smart - Stuttering Habits ...

Oh, interesting! I feel that sometimes. Sometimes I get annoyed though, like I want to feel like I'm this independent person (I'm 30), and not have someone else speak for me. It's really interesting h...

Mainly I would have wanted that teacher to know that I had a stutter beforehand. I can't hate on him for asking me my name because it's such a simple question that people ask each other all the time. ...

I really appreciate you asking this question. As a PWS I find it really difficult to say my name and the way people react to it can really have an effect on me (good or bad). I think that the most h...
