Speech block on one specific word, does anyone else experience this or have tips on dealing with it? I've always suffered from a mild stutter and speech blocks. It was much worse when I was a child an...

Hey dudes, just wanted to share something

Hey dudes, just wanted to share something So I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember, but as of now, it's not holding me back nearly as much as it used to. This might be super trivial knowl...

Those casual conversations are the hardest for me too. When I have something I need to ask or i'm in a position of authority (i.e. a customer asking a salesperson something), I can kind of compartment...

It's weird because if I'm asked a question that has a word-for-word answer, I'm fine. If there's an ambiguity or room for changing my response as I'm saying it, hello suttering....

Stuttering more when in casual conversations with people you aren't super close to?

Stuttering more when in casual conversations with people you aren't super close to? I've noticed after this weekend that I have waaaaaaay more blocks when I'm talking about casual things with people l...

Its a sad situation and a real shame about the fast food worker, but that doesn't have to be you. Even looking around this subreddit you'll see plenty of examples of people pursuing what they want and...

I may well have got lucky, but I've never had much of a problem in interviews with my stutter - I always flag it up at the start, and if I get badly stuck, I'll often make a quick jokey aside ("I hope...

Has anybody here ever pursued discrimination litigation against a company because of their stutter?

Has anybody here ever pursued discrimination litigation against a company because of their stutter? Was wondering if anyone here has ever pursued legal litigation against a company for workplace discr...

random interjections are poor speech mechanics. There's no need for them. They're a learned behavior, even for us stutterers. That said, if she was a covert stutterer I do feel sympathy for her since ...

Since everyone's stutter is different it's hard to give you personalized advice without more information, but really you just have to accept it. Push yourself into situations that make you uncomfortab...

I've noticed this. It's not a cure; the effect is less over time (same with other depressant drugs), so please don't become an alcoholic. Why it works? Alcohol makes it easier to be out of control. T...

It gets better. I was same as you at your age and I felt miserable. But now that I am 21, it got much better. I still stutter, but I have more positive attitude about it. Just embrace your fear, tal...

Stuttering is crippling me. It's frustrating and random

Stuttering is crippling me. It's frustrating and random Hi, this is my first post here. I'm a 15yr old Indian male. I've been stuttering since I was 10. School just started, and we had to introduce...

Me? Nothing. The realization of how stupid people are out there helps me not care as much about my stuttering....

I am lucky enough to be able (after years of trying) to work with a therapist who specializes in ART. And I do agree with you, most of the time you cant just suddenly resolve to not care about how you...

I mean I fucking love the steaks and blooming onions and shit but fuck their menu. Steak is a bitch to say under pressure. Along with cooked medium. All of those soft consonants fuck with me. ...

In my experience it's been true. I actually use it to my advantage when I'm at work (I barback at a busy restaurant so I constantly have to let people know when I'm behind them to avoid and collisions...

By trying to do nothing about it.Less I do,less I care,less I stutter.I realize it's harder to do with more severe forms of the problem,but it works wonders for mediocre to light stutter I have....

This guy gets it. I had a similar experience in that I just stopped caring as much and it got better. That being said my stutter was always minor and it's not easy to just stop caring about somethin...

I will admit that it is not easy and it takes some time. I still find myself caring some of the time. But for me, I try to work on my confidence. I don't know about you but I stutter a lot less when I...
