I loved reading this. For me I'm not a great writer but you really wrote that well. The thing that makes me most sad, for myself and you, is that we have all these ideas but can never vocalise them!!!...

I also struggle to answer the phone. I've started to just say 'Hi' rather than 'hello' because it's easier for me to get out (probably because it's shorter and more casual)....

Saphris and Propanolol helped me achieve near fluency

Saphris and Propanolol helped me achieve near fluency I've been working with a psychiatrist to try to reduce my stuttering through medication. The reason it is a psychiatrist and not a regular physici...

I change up the sentence, it ends up semi-nonsensical and I usually still stutter. :'(...

I can be such a bore to talk to because 50% of my vocabulary is 'ummm', 'errrr' or 'like' to be honest....

Yup. Whenever I meet new people, I shake their hands, they tell me their name, and I go like alright, cool. And there is a second or two of hesitancy from the other person as they are expecting a name...

There is definitely an immediate established fear when I come across situations where I know there's a pretty good chance I have to say my name. Hard sounds are among the worst for me, so of course my...

I have issues saying my last name. It's Bober pronounced like sober. I can say it out loud to myself a million times...No issues. Introducing myself...always stutter on the B. It gets so bad and e...

I read a thread like this earlier this past year on it. Person changed their name to something easier to say and just ended up stuttering on it later on too....

You don't know that Churchill, Lenin, Biden and any of those guys had a better or worse stutter than you. The only time you see these people speak is during public events or speeches, you don't know w...

I don't stutter when I'm hammered but that's not really ideal since I have to be drunk to interact with other people....

I do this but I just leave out the parts of words that'd make me stutter and it no longer sounds like English....

Sure, that's a big part of stuttering, I think. It can get rather confusing when you start juggling multiple variants of what you mean to say. Also, these avoidance tactics can become part of the stut...

I absolutely relate. It is like the sentence a non-stuttered would structure is the freeway - super quick, convenient, and easy. Then I try to say that same thing....start on the freeway, and real...

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand.

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand. My stuttering isn't that bad the past couple months because of speech therapy, but it still fucking sucks. Social anxiety and tension f...

yeah but i usually counteract my stutters by saying 'ummm' before every sentence. like "ummm what is that?" so it seems like im just thinking of what to say but im actually using it to jumpstart my se...

Anyone know they're going to stutter and counteract it.

Anyone know they're going to stutter and counteract it. For me it's honestly certain words that I get caught up in, but it changes. I know i'm going to stutter on words like "and" while not being able...

That happens to me too. I think practice and getting more used to these kinds of situations can really help. That can mean going on for interviews (even for jobs you aren't super interested in), or if...

I had a shitty job interview today

I had a shitty job interview today Not gonna bother you with a large paragraph. Basically: fear of stuttering took control over me and I was shy and short in my answers. I now feel like crap because I...
