Not being able to tell funny stories or jokes. There is nothing worse than getting a block right at the punchline, and instead of getting a laugh you just get an awkward chuckle....

Continue to join toastmasters! Do 10 street contacts using M and 5 phone contacts using a ST. Good luck! :)...

I think you already know what I'm going to say haha. Just go and make contacts to young people , possibly start slow , making contacts with who you are comfortable with and slowly moving your way ...

Challenge me. Heheheheh * I'm overt with covert tendencies, but have learned to control my stutter to a certain extent. * Before I learned to control my stutter 10/10. Couldn't say much in stressful...

Chances are, they never will. Depending on who they are, you should just say something along the lines of "I'm glad your alright now, I'm still hanging in there" and move on with your life. They won...

My last name triggers my stutter...

My last name triggers my stutter... I don't stutter as often as I do anymore but sometimes it happens randomly or when I'm nervous. However certain words can automatically trigger it no matter what. M...

Not being able to say "thank you" because I don't want to stutter on the word "thank," and beating myself up over the fact that the person probably thinks that I'm an ungrateful ass. ...

That's why I always go inside, even when ordering to go. I think I may have actually used a drive thru once, but that's about it....

People finishing my words. Most think they're just being helpful and are well intentioned, but it pisses me the fuck off nearly as much as being laughed at. I'm 40 and have been capable of communicati...

>I'm feeling all sorts of anxiety from seeing people meeting other new people, talking, and such. Hey, it's a bunch of strangers meeting each other. Some of them might become friends. Lots of poss...

Being held back. I love chatting via text because I can cleanly convey my thoughts, humour and whatever it is I want to say. In person, I avoid many of the chances for conversation or input during a c...

Yeah, I try to battle through if I can, but some days restructuring a sentence is the only way (otherwise I know I'd just get stuck on the dreaded word forever!) It often feels like a coin toss of wha...

That's a good one. I hate that too. I used to get that a lot in middle school. I decided not to talk at all since I had such a bad stutter, not so much now since I talk freely....

Hard sounds rear their ugly head again! Cs and Ks seem to cause a lot of problems, and unfortunately we can't always talk our way around them with different words? Do you find yourself switching to 'w...

Sometimes when I'm feeling more courageous I'll try and battle through haha. Otherwise I'd avoid I guess , which I don't like to do. ...

The "Why are you so silent all the time?" for me is frustrating . Or at least it was before , now I just disclose that I have a stutter but before I was really insecure about my stutter...

Thanks for sharing ;) Do you find you try to avoid these words or battle through? I know I'll navigate around a whole sentence to avoid my 'feared' words sometimes, but other times they're completely ...

Glad to see you've found a way to help your stutter! I too have had great success with this same scenario however I worked at a grocery store, packing bags and helping people to their cars etc. Custo...

I understand how you feel. Just went to an event last night with a bunch of people from work. Felt like I couldn't contribute to the conversations at all. What made it worse was a girl whom also works...

"Hard" sounds, ones where you need to "force" or "push" the sound through are the ones that I often block on. I start to feel the block and my natural reaction is to apply more pressure, trying to fo...
