Promotions and the stress that comes with it.

Promotions and the stress that comes with it. Hey everyone, This is my first post in this subreddit. Much love. I've stuttered all my life and I just turned 29. It didn't really bother me until goin...

That's something that I've struggled with.. I just wanted to be fluent for the longest time and I'm start starting to accept that isn't a realistic measure of success for myself....

spot on there, regardless of fluency skills and practice - these things are facts of life for some of us....

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I'm as charming as it gets with people I'm comfortable with at work, but new people, I just drown in anxiety with the oncoming introduction. ...

I dunno, it happens and I move forward... Been happening so long that I don't really think about it...

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

Social anxiety blocking it. Sorry. I'd say yes if I didn't have it. Also thanks for offering some support. If I had a wish it would be to remove stutter. If I won a million dollars it would be spent ...

The best i can explain it is the sensation of a record skipping in your head...

Hmm that's weird but I understand, the anxiety stems from the anticipation about their response right? haha you're not the only one that thinks that way. That's another excuse, if you didn't stutter i...

Another problem would be my social anxiety. Need to be drunk to even dare starting a text conversation with a good internet friend...

Haha, I use a different voice than my own when I give presentations, and I become fluent too. It's so weird....

Heck, even non-stutterers don't talk with 100% fluency. ...

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...

Yeah I'm pretty full of my self haha, that's because I do the right things ie. I meditate, excercise, read out loud everyday all to reduce my stutter, so when I've done these things I feel I have a ri...

Maybe you have a god-tier self-esteem compared to mine. Maybe you stutter a lot less than me. Who knows. Eh, I accept it more and more as time goes by I guess....

Exactly this. I consider my stutter mostly under control but I still have my bad days. There are very few who manage to get rid of it completely and I think it does more harm than good aiming for 100%...

a lot of people will just sit here and say "slow down, take a deep breath" etc etc but we all know that shit doesn't work. I've heard that there is a 66.6%(2/3) chance that your stuttering can be cur...

What is your definition of success?...

That's a good point. Stuttering is so variable that there are lots of times when I'm doing fine and it doesn't even cross my mind. ...
