This sucks

This sucks My 6 year old son’s flag football team needs a coach. While I never played, I live/breathe the sport and would prob be decent at coaching, but my (relatively) mild stutter is at its worst...

Anyone else develop an avoidant personality due to their stutter?

Anyone else develop an avoidant personality due to their stutter? As a younger person I was a lot less avoidant than I am now as a 27-year-old. I avoid every non-essential situation that requires talk...

The one that reveals she made up her stutter like 6 episodes in?...

A new experience.

A new experience. I recently got a job in the government sector, so there was an induction training program organized for new appointees. On the first day of our training, we were asked to introduce o...

Yeah they don’t think it’s a big deal. So many people don’t understand saying “just speak slower” doesn’t really help. They might also think we’re too nervous and that’s why we stutter. But to fair,...

“Covert stuttering” is also a major issue, that may be a more realistic and interesting direction to go in for your character . It often merely presents to listeners as confusion, anxiety and awkwar...

Thank you! >Stuttering when nervous is *literally* the caricature of stutterers. “T-t-there’s a gggggghost\[insert other scary situation\]!” has been done enough. Yeah, I'm going to rewrite his dial...

Stuttering when nervous is *literally* the caricature of stutterers. “T-t-there’s a gggggghost[insert other scary situation]!” has been done enough. Plenty of people who stutter actually have hard ...

I think for me it's when someone says "but your stutter is cute!" When I voice my struggle around it. I don't think it's wrong to think stuttering is cute or anything and I fully believe you can think...

I'm pretty covert so get this all the time. Incredibly frustrating....

A lot of stuttering is more internal or stuff like fidgeting/twitching. It bothers me when people don't realize that or think it's less impactful on my life. Nobody wants it to be, yet here we are....

What is your most dreaded speaking “moment?”

What is your most dreaded speaking “moment?” When do you have to speak, but you know your fluency is going to be at its worst? I hate ordering at drive-thrus at fast food restaurants. It never goes...

Nah bro this so fucked up. Like i lost my confidence due to this. I never was bullied but i knew i was prone to it,so i shut my mouth. That confidence loss is still their for me. I am 22.i still try t...

It’s especially frustrating how much mental and physical energy I put into talking when fluent people open their mouths and yammer on about nonsense....

This is pretty normal - stuttering will often fluctuate somewhat in conjunction with stress levels, although not always. The Arthur Blank Center for Stuttering (out of UT Austin) has a great stutter...

What worked best for me was breathing and drawing out sounds or tying one word to another (if I had to say bald, is say he's bald trying to tie he's and bald together). There was a video about stutter...

I was taught some fluency shaping and modification techniques, as well has dealing with things like social anxiety, fear of stuttering, negative attitudes towards stuttering, fear of other’s perceptio...

Usually people don't like listening to their voice generally so for us stutterers it's even harder. I think that over time you will get desensitized to it. Good luck and proud of you for stepping ou...

Agreed. I don’t think it’s curable. I put myself through theatre and speech team in high school and college, respectively - you can all guess how that went. Today, I still stutter. But I’ve managed t...
