She knows but it really irritates me when I make small unnecessary repetitions. Cause I’m kind of a perfectionist that way. I don’t mind answering my teacher when she asks me aloud even though I stutt...

What's the problem with sending it in with small blocks and stutterers? Does the teacher know you stutter? ...

Took me years to realize just being honest is the way to go. If you find yourself in a block just say casually, "I don't know if you know but I stutter." It's much big of a deal for you than it is fo...

How do you guys deal with parties?

How do you guys deal with parties? How do you guys handle yourself? When i drink i consider myself 90 % fluent, and when im not i`ll say im about 40 %. I have no problem being social at parties, but a...

I don't have any adequate modulation advice (I'd love to receive some myself). But as far as speaking fast I do that sometimes too. It is due to several factors: my mind races at times and I have at l...

For the longest time "speech impediment" was my go to phrase as I'd stutter/block on stutter. But I'm trying to skip substituting (circumlocution) in my speaking....

I think you're in a good situation to expirement with how to overcome this block since you're a cashier and 90% of customers don't really care what you say, they just want to get out of there. This gi...

same here! really annoying. I normally just speak a little slower and focus on saying the sounds of the word rather than the word itself. sounds weird but people but 2 and 2 together...

To add to what others have said, this is very common. Because stuttering is largely mental, a lot of disfluencies are situational in nature. I can read out load by myself and be 100% fluent. Reading t...

I can't even say stutter I have to say "speech impediment" because that actually comes out fluently. But I do do the same thing where you block on the first sentence then basically explain why and try...

Not being able to say a word when you have to, but being able so say it when you don't have to

Not being able to say a word when you have to, but being able so say it when you don't have to Hello. As I have mentioned earlier, I work as a cashier. When I have to say "would you like the receipt" ...

Introduction

Introduction Long time listener, first time caller. Or, something like that. I've been an avid Reddit reader for a while now and recently decided to post on the forum and reach out to everyone. I'm n...

This happens to me when I'm at work, I say to the costumers: here you go ma'am/sir and if you go online and take a survey, tell me how I did, and if you do, you can enter in a chance to win a 500 gift...

Breaking out of asocial behavior

Breaking out of asocial behavior Has anyone developed an asocial type of lifestyle? I have and I don't know I feel about it. My stammer was bad when I was a child and it had quite a negative effect o...

I used to get that way A LOT (it calmed down nowadays) what I do is take some good breathes and think about exactly what I want to say. A lot of people told me that my speech has gotten better since I...

Overkilling feared words and sounds. This means using the technique on sounds and words that are trouble for you. You do this by doing phone contacts, street contacts etc. Over time of getting used to...

I would agree with all your answers. 1) Sometimes slowing down and pausing does help me, but sometimes the other person(s) you may be talking to will simply help you finish out your sentence. That m...

I'm really happy this came up. --- I did the programme 6 months ago, so I'm fairly new off the course. As the other comment has said, it takes a HUGE amount of effort, but has improved my life great...

Nope. That's just how stuttering works*: It's different in different situations. (*: Or, we could say, it's _how we don't work_. I mean, we work, but not quite like what we'd prefer.)...

I'm an engineer but worked an IT job as an internship. Did phone calls, customer service, support for engineers, etc... It's not that bad. The greatest obstacle is fear and not enough confidence. Gett...
