I cringe when I hear my voice or when I see a video of myself speaking.

I cringe when I hear my voice or when I see a video of myself speaking. Context. This year I’ve been pushing myself to be more social and to stutter openly especially at work. At work I signed up fo...

I worked in a restaurant as a dishwasher a couple years ago. I tried my best to hide my stutter, but ultimately came across as quiet, reserved, and "weird", like the manager said. No one understands h...

I still block sometimes but what helps me is trying to have a peaceful mind. The reason I (like a lot of others) stutter is because we're super self conscious about our speech and our mind goes a 150 ...

Please be aware that some PWS struggle with more than dysfluency - some engage in a variety of avoidance behaviors, up to and including being nearly unable to speak their own name. Upon answering a p...

Speech block

Speech block I speech block all the time, but it seems to only be noticeable with people I don’t know/ not comfy with/someone higher in power than me. I’m 20 now and in high school no one even realiz...

American here. I was a lawyer who worked at elite firms for 10 years (my very high law school grades enabled that) and was an SVP inhouse counsel at an NYSE public company for 11. Retired at age 50....

Luckily, I don't stutter when I'm speaking on behalf of a company. It's like a mask. Without that filter, when I have to be just "me" instead of just another employee I struggle with keeping my stutte...

I graduated nursing school in june and I have a stutter. It isn’t severe but I get bad blocks most of the time when I talk. I’m good at hiding it though so nobody probably noticed. I let my instructor...

Unfortunately people have to work together with you for a lot of time in order to understand you’re clever. All of us have experienced this. When we want to change our job and go to a meeting with an...

My stutter really annoys me

My stutter really annoys me I stutter when I talk to people, if I'm by myself I can talk fast and fluently. I also stutter less with people I'm comfortable with and can be more myself with. I stutter...

For real. I got a new boss. Only until about a month has passed working with him did I disclose my stutter to him. He was surprised and said that he would have never guessed. That’s something that I’v...

I have something almost like that. If it is something that I am really well educated on, and I know how to explain the topic, I speak more fluently on it. However, if I’m trying to present something w...

I had a call with a colleague from the Netherlands. A year ago, I wouldn’t have picked up the call and would have instead written to him, saying I couldn’t talk because of some reason… But now, I’m m...

Sorry, I am not on here often but if you’re still interested: that is a challenge presented to us but that does not mean we can’t overcome! The way I see it, the really good bosses and generally peo...

I had bad stuttering when i was 13-15 year old but during that time i moved from Village to City. Made a few friends on the same street. Our connection was sports, if we were not playing we were talki...

Yep this exactly for me, my stutter as definitely made me anti social,...

That’s great that you managed to power through in what I can imagine would’ve been quite a stressful situation :)...

Had to call AAA to get my car towed and stuttered on some information, but powered through and didn’t internalize it....

This is….not necessarily helpful. Most people don’t realize what blocks are, and for many, blocks lead to them being unable to say what they want. Blocks are actually a more advanced form of dysflu...
