I think becoming selfconcious about stuttering is when the real trouble begins. You jinx it yourself in a devils circle. When this happens, i usually try to speak almost nothing, let the spasm ridden ...

Hahaha, this morning I talked with a co worker about my stutter. She sad that she find it funny. She didn't mean it in a bad way. So I smiled about it. Why not, haha. But she also told me that is s...

Hey everyone! I just came across this sub and I'm am beyond happy to see people here who know exactly what I go through everyday and sharing your tips and experiences.

Hey everyone! I just came across this sub and I'm am beyond happy to see people here who know exactly what I go through everyday and sharing your tips and experiences. I'm 24 years old. I've stuttered...

I've considered changing it legally for some months. At the moment, I introduce myself with my middle name which is stutter-free. It's not a perfect solution since many situations require you to ident...

She never had an issue with it, and was very patient with me when I started to block. Luckily I knew word changing pretty well back then (better at it as I get older) so I only got severely blocked a ...

I get so anxious when a girl is into me since I stutter that I always mess up.

I get so anxious when a girl is into me since I stutter that I always mess up. So i'm 19 and i'm in college and over the past maybe two years i've talked to many girls that my other female friends set...

I did, sort of. My first name is not really common and I kept having a hard time saying it despite managing to control my stutter everywhere else. So I changed mine to something much easier for me to ...

About friends, you should really focus on few, good ones. Choose one-two or them, the ones you care the most about, and just get them to know you better like you said you did before. It takes time any...

Any native english speaker willingly to practice together?

Any native english speaker willingly to practice together? Hi everyone I'm quagsire23, first post here (and on reddit), Italian, stutterer, computer science student, nice to meet you. I suffer quite ...

If I use filler words, I feel guilty. I try to avoid as much as possible. But they find their way into conversations sometimes. Frustrating. Years of habit. Hard to break....

Unfortunately, I too invoke those sentence polluting words when I speak. When I was young I found it to be a very large issue, but now I do not use those words too often....

I've used all sorts of them! It was um for a long time and it springs up every now and then. These are filler words like you said and are also caused helping sounds. The latter so, because we feel the...

it's one of the most common avoidance behavior (and to be honest, a lot of non-stutterers use it too). It's a poor habit and doesn't help you overcome your stuttering. I used to do it but I stopped. H...

I use "um" before I have to pronounce an "eh" sound for the beginning of a word and I know I'm going to get stuck on it...

I do this, probably more than I should. I do it without thinking. I've had a few college professors take issue with it, saying I should work on my "vocalized pauses". I guess this has become incorpora...

Never, I got rid of all my junk words and secondary stutters. Those filler words are in my opinion far worse to listen to than a stutter....

The problem with filler words (or other tricks to buy time) is that they can become part of the stutter altogether. Personally, my use of them depends on my mood/surplus for any given situation....

Filler words "um", "uh" and "like"

Filler words "um", "uh" and "like" How many of you guys also use filler words in place of stuttering in your speech? How often? Does it dominate a conversation or is it hardly noticeable? How did you ...

Your trick is similar to a strategy used in the valsalva hypothesis book: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Controlling-Stuttering-Comprehensive-Hypothesis/dp/1929773242/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1...

This subreddit is such a depressing place!

This subreddit is such a depressing place! I don't come here often because this place scares me. Seriously. It's filled with posts about how people are feeling shit about themselves because of their s...
