I have thought about writing it down. It would definitely be easier, but I feel like that would just be admitting defeat to my stutter which I have too much pride for. (Today I gave up on saying the f...

I’m not sure if it’s called something different these days, but 20 years ago my speech therapists called it “easy onset”. Basically you would go through different sounds that weren’t vowel sounds and...

I was able to articulate technical jargon at a meeting! Stuttered a little bit, but I got through it with so much confidence...

No. You can already practice with pets or in an empty room. As long as you believe talking to AI is not the same as talking to a judgmental person it won't work....

I don’t like social situations either, but the key is that you know you can do it when it needs to be done. This is a big step for dealing with social anxiety!...

I finally got my first job, as a hotel receptionist. I always was scared that people wouldnt hire me. But i knew i needed to push myself, because noone else will in this world. Suprisingly im doing we...

I had a lot of appointments lately due to doctor at my work. Kinda smooth i would say but still hate doing it. Its one of those things I will do just because I have to. If i could do it remotely i def...

I just avoid the drive through now. There's just too much ambient noise for me to focus, and the pressure that comes with trying to communicate clearly through a busted microphone/speaker only adds to...

No. In junior school I was naturally shy and just had a few very close friends. My stutter didn't fully develop until age 7. Then I began trying to hide it by speaking incredibly fast. So I thus also ...

My family always tells me to find a job where I don’t need to talk and I refuse to, I don’t want to live my life in fear of my stutter...

Depends on the person. The more I sense myself actively, the more I tend to stutter. My stutter was inflamed through bullying and teasing. The goal isn't to focus less on my stutter but to focus entir...

It’s useless because you’ve already identified yourself as a stutterer meaning you don’t want to improve. You use your stuttering as a tool to get away and not face certain situations. Stuttering is y...

Same, helps me too. If I don't think about it then I don't stutter....

It is difficult but the simplest advice that helped me in Uni and beyond was not to think about it at all.  What happens happens, no one really cares and the worry stays with us.  Imagine people going...

I have a mild stutter and I hide it really well, most of the time. I also have social anxiety, so I didn't date that much really. I met my current girlfriend (and future wife) on a dating app and we'v...

I don’t get nervous about stuttering because I don’t expect to stutter. That’s because I only started stuttering a few months ago as a55 yr old and I routinely forget that I stutter. I don’t do it al...
