The key is not to put all your hopes in one novelty technique. You should come up with new ones as a way to stay light and adaptable. It's a godsend when it works, but eventually it fails, and it does...

The "cure rejecting/Novelty trick hating" attitude of this subreddit has hurt me alot mentally and it should change.

The "cure rejecting/Novelty trick hating" attitude of this subreddit has hurt me alot mentally and it should change. I was always hopeful of at least knowing I can one day reduce it to a point where i...

Maybe it's a second language thing? I'm nearly bilingual now but when I was still learning English, it made me stutter more than French (which is my first language)....

Sorry in advance for the long comment. Summary will be below. I have worked at a fast food place for the past 8 mos. and have been bounced around a bit and am now at a third location that I have bee...

I don't know how this comes off but this is how I handle it. I don't say out loud that I stutter but I behave normally, I do my word replacement, I have my eye rolls, y'all the table when it gets bad...

The focus on fluency just let to me trying to fight against something that's a part of me I can't change. We can't change that we stutter, but we can change whether or not it's a struggle or how painf...

I'm a senior in high school and the worst thing is reading aloud in front of the class. I've told my teachers multiple times throughout the years to avoid calling on me to read something aloud, and so...

While there is some truth to what you are saying, I feel you are projecting now. You don't know how bad TS stutter is nor the progress he can make. Having a stutter doesn't mean you can't do communica...

Wouldn't we all! Sometimes though you just have to resolve yourself to the fact that you can't do certain things. That doesn't mean you have to stop trying to fix the problem, but a person with a spee...

I Have To Talk In French

I Have To Talk In French I have to talk in French when I have enough difficulty pronouncing most consonant sounds in English. French is really hard for me, but I have to take the French and Spanish el...

These aren't bad at all for me. I just still get blocks when I read out loud. Still doesn't change that fact that ice breakers are a total waste of time, having a stutter or not....

I swear that's why I became a good reader as a kid, to increase my vocabulary so I could pick new words. ...

I don't really people think I stutter because of how well i hide it.But that ends up being a bad thing when I do slip up and stutter because then people think I just forgot what I was tryna say and st...

I have the same thing. I think mine is caused because my parents never let anyone finish a sentence before interrupting, so I feel like I had to race the words out, then that trips me up....

Hey man thank for your story! I agree that your second method feels a litte bit weird haha, especially when you're talking to strangers. I am not sure if I explained myself rather well, I dont necessa...

I usually say whatever name comes easily to me, if it's a Starbucks I don't frequent. Art, Ed, Al, sometimes Elwood appear in the rotation often. The one I frequent knows me well enough I don't have t...

My name starts with A and I will get blocks on that sound so I try to begin with a sound that is smoother for me to produce like MY name is A... or, OH I'M A... When I am hesitant and people notice I ...

For me, it is better to try and relax, and if that doesn't work (usually in cases of extreme nervousness) I will just replace the word with a similar word or phrase, even if it doesn't make as much se...

Try adding words to the start, often helps you. Even if you have to say "uh", it's better than randomly (to the audience) standing there and saying nothing....

It truly is and sometimes there's not much that you can do. But don't let that stop you from trying. Here's a few tips that had sometimes helped me when I am speaking in public: 1. If you feel that...
