Stuttering and working Hi everyone. Does anyone have issues with their stutter at work? I hate it because I have a problem talking in public so I either talk whispering or not really at all. So int...

Thanks so much for this, I really needed it man. I having the same feeling when pronounced the S and T/P sounds, it feels like I hit a wall and cant continue to speak properly. I get the paranoid bit...

Bro you sound just like me, how I stuttered and thought about my stutter. I couldn't pronounce R until the 5th grade. I always have a prolongation or block on ST and it feels like I'm choking. I spe...

Any tips for a severe stutterer?

Any tips for a severe stutterer? My stutter has had a huge effect on my life. I went to a speech therapist when I younger and that helped a good bit with public speaking (reading off a script), but in...

Holy mother of God. People ask me why I whisper to people who are right next to me, and I've just now realized that I do it to avoid my stutter. How did I never recognize that?...

What u have to understand is that you do stutter, and avoiding talking to people is not going to fix that; it'll actually make it worse in most cases. You can talk, it will just take longer to say wh...

Just got my first part time job as a cashier. But 1 problem, I stutter. A lot

Just got my first part time job as a cashier. But 1 problem, I stutter. A lot First things first I didn't work to get this job whatsoever, my mother got lucky and got me it. I didn't have an interview...

Shower Thought: I will never be able to say, "Did I stutter?" if someone were to question me.

Shower Thought: I will never be able to say, "Did I stutter?" if someone were to question me. One less way to be an ass because it would be ironic :(...

Ah, lucky. Reading through your posts I see you're a Trump supporter too, as am I. I saw a post from two years ago stating your were 18, so I'm assuming that was a lie and you are actually 22? Making ...

Life's not going to be easy. You will be discriminated against because of your stutter. You won't get jobs and promotions because of it. People will laugh at you and think you're slow. It was one of...

I've heard that speaking in a different voice can help some. ..such has speaking in a different accent or with a different tone. My opinion, your brain is thinking about the different tone or accent...

As embarassing as it might be, I've found that discussing my mild stuttering problem with other people in my life does help grease the gears of the social interactions. There can be misconceptions tha...

These very brief interactions are probably the easiest type of thing to tackle, quickly. All I've found that I have to do, if I feel that I am about to stutter in a situation that's coming up... like ...

I watched it or more specifically I was heavily encourage by my folks to watch it. I'd say it was a good movie, but at the time I in heavy denial mode. There's also an HBO miniseries called I Claudi...

You could just push through it or find a slp. I wouldn't try to forget about it or deny it from personal experience. I also have many situations where I'm fluent and others I'm a train wreck, e.g. i...

I always do. I feel it puts the audience at ease if (when) I stutter during the presentation. It keeps it from being an elephant in the room. ...

I almost took a job like this when I was younger and then I decided against it after the interview. If you really need the job try creating a character to use over the phone. I stutter less when I'm ...

Yes, we get it. Most of us have lived with it our entire lives. You either get used to seeming strange to people when you have blocks or become silent. My stutter is mild to moderate, usually I'll s...

I think simply speaking at a reasonable pace could be a 'mask' for me, or simply not talking so much. Thanks for the comments....
