Hello. I also have a huge problem talking on a phone. I have taken to changing my voice kind of while speaking on the phone. It probably sounds ridiculous but it works for me. Im from long island and ...

I have had a stutter since around the third grade, so class presentations have been a nightmare of mine for as long as i could remember. I used to loath it. And still do to this day (I'm 23 now). I ha...

I worked in Retail from 14-18 and my stutter was was pretty bad for the first year or so. Until i turned sales into a game. If i was having an honest conversation with a customer i would stutter. So i...

As a mother of 2 young boys, I realized I was a self imposed mute due to my stuttering. Their father was a confident fearless role model. I was a wall flower and I wanted my sons to grow up with a mot...

He often gets criticised for saying things a bit goofy but I can tell it's because he does word-substitution. You can pick up on it a little bit if you listen for it....

Well acting "as if" makes me fluent or at least more fluent even when I'm sober. Acting as if I was relaxed instead of nervous, confident instead of insecure. Just bringing out that part of me that n...

yeah, people are able to understand and I'm probably blocking for about a 2 seconds with the word umm. Say, for example, I'm saying the word imagine. I would draw it out and say it like "ummmagine...

I stutter when I'm talking on the phone

I stutter when I'm talking on the phone For some reason I tend to stutter when I'm talking on the phone with people, but not so much in face to face conversation. I have identified the words that I s...

Just a guess, I'd say it causes you to care less about what others think. Sober I avoid social contact with everyone at all costs but when I'm drunk I have this urge to talk to people, it's weird ...

Those aren't as bad, aside from the fact that it's a bad speaking habit. But it's important for this exercise to say exactly what you want, just the way you want it. Tolerating open silence and resist...

But sometimes I say "um" because I really don't know what to say rather than buy time to get over a block....

In my AIT (job training for the US Army) I was the best in my class, the distinguished honor graduate. The problem with that was that I had to give a 5 minute speech in front of higher ranking personn...

You will eliminate the struggle which might result in more fluency. It won't fix my genetic disposition to stutter....

Find a consequence free situation (ordering at a drive through, or asking a question at a mall kiosk or store, reserving a room at a hotel and later canceling, anything where you know you wont be flue...

Ok I'll give you two things . 1. Make atleast 10 phone calls during the week to restaurants and ask at what time do they close , and be sure to mention the word 'restaurant' since its your feared ...

We don't stutter with people that cannot possibly judge us for how we speak. That includes children, pets and of course, yourself. That's when our brain flips the switch and becomes fluent. What a dic...

I'd say it's a fear of stuttering, not speaking. And if you eliminate your fear, you won't eliminate disfluencies, but you will eliminate the things that make them awful....

Its all down to fear really bro. When you're alone you dont think about your stammer, you dont have a care in the world. But once your outside this comfort zone, you freeze and block. Stuttering in a ...
