Do you experience actual _struggle_ moving past these places, or are you just sort of "rehearsing" what you're acquainted with? A habitual thing?...

Oh my god, this sounds like my worst nightmare. This past summer I worked a job that involved making a ton of phone calls, but luckily, I was in a separate office from my supervisor, so the only perso...

Yep sometimes in social settings i start conversations just so nobody can put me on the spot, I'd rather talk of my own choosing than be forced to talk. Its sweet though when somebody calls you chari...

Funny thing is im a stutterer and i do all those things. Sometimes we use the stutter as an excuse, personally I've made a promise to never let my stutter stop me from doing anything. This leads to ...

hey man, I got married 2 years ago this summer and I definitely stuttered a couple of times. We wrote our own vows though, so I kind of changed it up to words that I knew I could say. If you don't alr...

Exactly. You're not wasting her time, it's her JOB to make sure you get what you want. Next time, when she says "barbecue sauce?" Shake your head no and try again. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's ...

Been there, done that, feel you. I used to only order things I could say, only date girls whole names I could say, the whole nine. Never let your stutter control you, tho. Yea it didn't go your way...

In these situations, I think the best thing is to try and work around saying the actual word. Don't worry about "wasting" anyone's time; you're the customer, you deserve to get what you're there for. ...

Just stutter. It'll get better. It's all about confidence. I do the pre-sentence thing like you. I say "like" a lot before stuff or just "errr" kinda like I'm thinking. But it gets better. You just ne...

You can play the victim card to get out of situations. Speeches, answer questions in class, presentations, pretend to be mentally retarded "didn't know better", etc. Although I admit to using it a fe...

I completely understand, man. I'm 33 now, but I've had a stutter my entire life. I've gone through everything you have and I empathize with your frustrations. When you say you're practicing every...

Frustrated with my stuttering

Frustrated with my stuttering Im 15 years old and from what i have read here lots of people apparently have the same problem as me. When having a conversation with people, I cant force out or speak th...

I've DMed before and my stutter is pretty severe. It helped me to have little prompts written down, and putting on a voice for the different NPCs helped too, oddly. Just have fun, basically, and the ...

I don't think my stutter is too bad. It is noticeable, but only after I tell someone because I can often change the words I use to hide it. What exactly is SLP?...

D&D yaaaaaay! I don't mind if I'm a player, but as a DM I wonder how it'll affect the players if I'm the main one talking. I love world building so I figured I'd enjoy DMing....

I think your goal of actively trying to talk to people in situations you normally wouldn't is fantastic, but I'm not sure that it will be as helpful as it could if goes hand in hand with a goal of dec...

In my head no, that's why I tend to talk more in my head, but that's not a good reflex at all. In my dream I stutter...

I don't know what kind of tone I use but I know that I intonate and inflect my voice oddly to compensate my stutter....

I'm a lawyer but I'm applying for a job right now. I'm interested in litigation but for obvious reasons I hold back from following through. Thus, I am hunting for jobs in the field of corporate law, w...

Or when I'm in Starbucks, I want a caramel macchiato, but I can't get the words out so I end up getting iced coffee....
