Don't hold back. Keep going into social situations. Don't avoid speaking situations where this is occurring, it'll get worse. Overkill those feared situations and show yourself it's possible, keep doi...

I am (re)developing a stutter. Please help?

I am (re)developing a stutter. Please help? I vaguely remember stuttering as a child or at least being very nervous when speaking which gave me kind of stutter. But lately, I have developed a stutter ...

I feel like a jerk, I honestly tend to avoid him because I feel like being around him kills my fluency. I would have been thrilled to have someone like that in my life though. Arggggh, reality is a ha...

I've realized the click has really worked it's way into a lot of my speech, it's horrid. Since I've realized it, and have been trying not to do it, my fluency has gotten way worse. This is my second ...

That is really awesome! You chose to do it because its what you're passionate about. You accepted the fact that you stutter and you do what you love. Is it hard sometimes? Probably, but you'll look ba...

I'm going to warn you about the click thing. You're developing a secondary behavior (or maybe it's already developed). I know when you're feeling the panic it's hard not to do what you instinctively d...

Teaching with a stutter

Teaching with a stutter I am some sort of masochist. I followed my dreams of becoming a teacher, even though I have a pretty bad stutter. The kids prefer when I lecture, which is usually not a big de...

Thank you so much for your time and response! I'm going to try this and hopeful I can stop the habit :)...

Sounds like it could be a secondary behavior. Unconsciously learned when you were younger and stuck. Something like when you were on a tough sound you try anything to get the word out and when you twi...

I used to use fluency techniques, but I've been out of speech therapy for a while and I've forgotten most of them. I usually just smash through blocks. ...

I think this is a great discussion topic. My views are as follows: I think advertising is great, but you have to know why you're doing it. If you're mostly doing it to put the other person at ease an...

Honestly want to know (preferablly opinion of someone who doesnt/not always stuttered) what does the person listening think off the stutterer

Honestly want to know (preferablly opinion of someone who doesnt/not always stuttered) what does the person listening think off the stutterer So recently ive started taking initiative towards improvin...

I can see what you mean. I don't really advertise, though if I'm talking to someone and I block really badly I'll just make a laughing joke about me stuttering unless they're having a very negative re...

Why I Don't Advertise Anymore

Why I Don't Advertise Anymore I've had a significant stutter for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid in speech therapy, my speech therapist always told me to "advertise" that I have a stutter....

There is no cure for stuttering. Stutterers will always be stutterers. People can sometimes reduce stuttering by eliminating unnecessary anxiety and learning to stutter more efficiently, which makes b...

People's facial expressions throw me off. Anyone else get this?

People's facial expressions throw me off. Anyone else get this? I can speak to my sister with like 90%-95% fluency, but when im talking to a stranger or specific people I find it much harder. My best ...

I generally smile and say I stutter if somebody brings it up or asks me what's wrong. Otherwise I just smile and carry on talking....

How I mostly beat my stutter

How I mostly beat my stutter Ok. I've been wanting to post this for a while. Forward: please don't read this like a humblebrag or something - it's not meant to be, and this is a throwaway. I remember ...

Pronunciation problems

Pronunciation problems In the past few months, I have been able to rid myself of my stutter almost completely. I don't know how I did it, but it somehow just happened, and I am completely amazed. As g...

That's a basic job requirement. Every recruiter writes that to fill up space. It really depends on the job you are applying for. If it's sales oriented, then you are pretty much fucked. If not, then i...
