Robot talking beats not talking, but it is possible to work on blocking so that you can stutter forward. ...

If your condition is mainly repetition than I can understand. But for me it's mostly blocks so a robot voice beats not talking at all. LOL...

Why? That's actually a very good technique. Sounding like a robot sure beats blocking and fumbling over words....

As a 30 year old dude with a stutter, "this" is not it. I've been stuttering for 26 years and it has really, really sucked. I know that I don't need to tell that to anyone here. Life with a stutter is...

Often I can only say my name with "my name is" in front of it. Gets me weird looks sometimes but I dont really give a shit....

Saying 'you suck at everything' and that is isn't your fault is kind of contradicting. I dont mean to be condescending, but are you working towards any improvement? You remind me of myself a couple of...

One bit on friends as someone who grew up with a stutter and has learned to control it through some speech therapy: focus more on yourself - doing things that you want to do for yourself, and you will...

Couldn't have said it better myself. The process of doing this is called "overkilling". I do it on any word/ any sounds I find tricky or that I'm likely to avoid. It's one of THE BEST ways to become ...

I'm the same way and lately I've been having a lot more problems saying my name and I'm very conscious about it. I keep on thinking about going to a speech pathologist, but I think its a waste of ti...

It sometimes happens to me aswell, if it does i try to say something before i say my name, like "my name is..." instead of just trying to say my name instantly....

Yeah this totally sucks. I can say my first name, but my surname is a block 10 times out of 10. The only way I've figured of getting round it is to spell it out, I just generally try to avoid it. Will...

I find it really helps to take a run up, now I always say "Hey my name is Jacob", even if they just say "your Name". I think it sounds a little friendlier too....

I definitely do this. I'll stop in the middle of a word and look around, pretending I'm thinking till I can get the word out. Or I'll just change the word entirely, which doesn't always help. I do thi...

Yeah I often do that too, but then I end up not liking all these substitutes I have to use so that I can speak. Very annoying. I struggle saying thanks at the checkout so I always say, "Thats perfect,...

I do this. I'm about as covert as you can get. However, yeah sometimes it seems like I'm rude because I butt in at weird times because that's when I can get the word out. A good friend I've known for ...

Have you ever tried writing out what you want to say? The few times I've had to speak to an audience I've written out what I wanted to say, and then there's no stuttering. Always have trouble on my n...

Covert?

Covert? Does anyone else here just not speak when they block and wait until it comes out without actually audibly stuttering? For example, if I'm in a group and I go to say something but feel the bloc...

Exactly, I just want to say what I have to as fluently as possible and move on through my day. I don't want to "stand out" especially not because of this disability....

Lots of things makes you stand out. Having down syndrome makes you stand out, having neon hair makes you stand out, being fugly makes you stand out, being extremely attractive makes you stand out. Que...

well tbh, I am an extrovert and love attention. But I dont want stuttering to be the reason why I stand out though. ...
