What have YOU done today to improve yourself?

What have YOU done today to improve yourself? A lot of you come here to whine and complain about your stutters. Blah blah I can't talk, blah blah job interview this, etc. But what are you doing to ac...

There's no cures. There's different treatments that work depending on the type of person. Personally, my cure is to reduce my social anxiety and that's by going out and talking to people. Gaining conf...

Glad to help. I used to stutter a lot with self-talk too, but now I do it so much, I stammer less. (Obviously learned how not to let others over hear me talking to myself). It's become second nature. ...

Thank you so much for the advice. I do talk to myself, though I need to practice more because I still tend to stutter even when I'm by myself. ...

I Remember doing a job interview, it was a group interview and there was another candidate next to me. Stammered a couple words and interviewer was like... "Thank you for your time" Thrn the intervi...

I have English and German classes in school (I'm Danish) and I have the same issue. I'm really good at both languages, and I know how the words are pronounced but it's just harder to utter than my mot...

Thanks for replying! I do tend to use "bridge sounds" and for me, it's words such as "like" and "so." This is useful whenever I'm not having severe stutter, but it becomes displeasing to both me and ...

Hey thanks for the reply! I have been really having a rough time these days because everything I try to get involved in requires a lot of talking. I just tend to break down whenever I open up about m...

I'll just throw it a guess here. My native language is English and I studied Spanish in highschool. I wasn't great, but decent. I stuttered a lot more though. I've done speech therapy in English but ...

I was taught in speech therapy to use “bridge sounds” (idk if that’s the right term) to bounce to sounds that are hard for me. Like W’s, which sometimes even as an adult I’ll have to start with saying...

I apologize if this is super TLDR. Don’t give up hope! Job hunting or even first meetings (like dates, first days of school ect )are definitely harder for anyone with a speech disfluency. Believe me,...

Welcome to the Community OP! I found the best way I cope is exactly what you did, be open about your stutter - Let the person know who you are talking to that you have a speech impediment, then a norm...

No need to apologize at all. Sharing thoughts about our situation gives me enough comfort. When you describe yourself, it's like you are describing me. After I opened up about my stuttering, I found t...

I feel the same way. I'm sorry, but I don't have much advice to give you. I'm struggling the same way you are. I used to hate talking to people, and was very paranoid and anxious about stuttering in f...

Thanks for the reply! Whenever I catch myself with a block, I try to stop, inhale and try to go on, but this becomes harder for me to do the less familiar I am with the person who I am talking to. I ...

Keep trying and don't give up! Try to build yourself a network of people who can refer you into your next job. For me, my first job after college was the hardest to land, after that I built connection...
