Joining a Fraternity with a Stutter

Joining a Fraternity with a Stutter So like most subscribed to this subreddit I stutter. I would say it's a mild stutter and generally only occurs at the beginning of sentences with troublesome sounds...

My tone had more to do with the claim that deep breathing exercises can be helpful in curing stuttering or that stuttering can be controlled through rhythm control. There is no cure, regardless of bre...

It's a bitch and takes practice but best route for me as well. ...

Some things to consider: * You're about to go on a date with a 10. In my mind, and likely others that means you aren't shabby yourself! You are 10 material, don't forget that! * A good ways to relax...

Parties are great. Intoxication surely does promote fluency-- both alcohol (& etc.) and the intoxication of other people's enthusiasm and sociability. Hiding your stuttering sounds exhausting an...

Yes. Basically every morning. I've tried to make it a habit to talk to myself in the car on my way to work to "warm up."...

Point #2 is excellent. I'd like to tack on an opinion of mine that goes along with it somewhat. I've always felt that most fluency techniques are far from the actual "fluency" that we all hope to "ac...

Depends on the situation. Somewhere like a loud bar or a party the noise actually helps. Probably relates to having to shout, and shouting being a somewhat different type of speech (akin to singing, ...

Only everybody. This surely isn't a "solution" and does not necessarily "work" every time (by a long shot), but I've noticed that I stutter less on my name if I go for it with gusto. If I meet a new ...

I've worked a lot on saying my name. Here is what I've postet about it a few month ago: The key for me was to explore exactly what I was doing while stuttering on my name. So I could slowly change it...

I have the same problem. I'm fluent in most situations, but when it comes to saying my name during introductions, or if I have to tell my name to someone at a kiosk or a counter, I tend to trip up. It...

Yup, I had a really bad time of it too, especially when introducing myself. Ended up changing my name (not legally though) and I much prefer the new name. ...

Nope I wish there was. Accepting that I was going to stutter on my name, which I do now makes it much easier to deal with....

This is probably nothing you haven't already heard, but just try to relax and start over if you have a bad block, and try to ease into the sound...

Do you have any techniques you use to avoid stuttering in an introduction type setting? I ask because it's getting to the point where not being able to say my name has become debilitating. ...

I have this problem too,i'm very fluent for the most part but I will always stutter when saying my name during an introduction, many stutterers have trouble saying their own name for some reason...

My problem with that is that I don't want to be in a situation when I'm around somebody that knows my name and I introduce myself as somebody else to a new person....

Have you found that there were periods of your life when you were able to say your name? I'm just wondering because I remember a time not too long ago when it was still a problem but not as big of a ...

Yes I stutter on my name considerably. I've gone through phases of not saying my name at all, shortening my name, or just mispronouncing my name so I can rush through the embarrassment. From my pers...

I've had similar experiences. I've noticed that it happens a lot less frequently since I've started going by "Phil" instead of "Phillip" haha...
