When I try to hide it, it shows mainly because i'm thinking about it. Sometimes i'll be fast enough to use a synonym instead. If i'm not fast enough then i'll just sssstutter or pause and seem like i'...

Yes, of course I try to hide my stutter. In many situations it works out well. I've had co-workers that I talk to nearly every day that have no clue I stutter. Yet, I have clients that I barely speak ...

The 'uhms' are junk sounds that are a learned secondary stuttering behavior. It can also be unlearned and in doing so you will improve the way that your speech is percieved by others. Have you ever ...

I really know how that feels. I think I tend to do the same thing but usually don't realize it. Typically with a lot of "uh"s. What really sucks is when people don't know that I have a stutter and th...

I hide it. Now, it's become part of my speech pattern. I don't use "uhhhm" but I will elongate my syllables. I developed this because, when i used to use the uhhh-way, people assumed I had forgotten w...

I would rather seem like someone very stupid than someone with a stutter

I would rather seem like someone very stupid than someone with a stutter All my life I have been treated as my stutter is something bad. No one wants to listen to it. It's stupid. So I have this tact...

For the most part, I've "dealt" with tolerant and patient people. I don't do cons, or local tourneys though, so it's mostly play group stuff with the occasional new person. I will say that I generall...

The last time was when they were all talking about "that singing movie that just came out". Someone said Step it up, but I knew it was "Pitch Perfect". I pretended I didn't know, I was just like hmmmm...

I've avoided hobbies in the past, I've taken up hobbies that I didn't really enjoy too. But I realized something only very recently. The only reason I feel I do not wish to partake in certain hobbies ...

My week was ok, friday was the last day in college/sixth form in year 13 and I said my goodbyes to people i'll never see again and signed t-shirts etc. It was compulsory to come into school the past f...

Stuttering and your hobbies

Stuttering and your hobbies Hey all! I recently got into table top war gaming after years and years of shying away from it due to the amount of speaking involved. I finally decided the hell with it a...

Nice work man. I have always been very up front about my stuttering during job interviews so they don't think I am nervous or falsely believe that I won't be doing this during the actual job. It h...

my advice: for an interview - If it is a large company call up HR a few days before the interview and let them know you stutter and just ask them to let the interviewer know before hand so he/she/t...

Stuttered badly during an interview. Feeling hopeless now.

Stuttered badly during an interview. Feeling hopeless now. I'm a 21 year old male and have stuttered for as long as I can remember. I gave an interview today. It wasn't my first time, and I went i...

It took me 30 something years to be able to introduce myself without blocking hard on the beginning of my name. "Tr" is a bitch. Finally I discovered that if I do it in a friendly, open manner with a ...

It's the opposite for me. I talk horribly over the phone. When I was younger I used to answer with "Yes?" because I couldn't say "Hello." I've had people hang up on me because I couldn't get out a wor...

Honestly, i can't see how it's easier to speak over the phone In person you can use gestures, point things etc ...

I agree with you, talking over phone eliminates in-person stress and I use some cues written on paper or on screen to facilitate when Im struck...

For me xannax really made a difference in my fluency. It think the anti anxiety medication slowed my brain down enough and I was using therapy techniques I learned at an early age. The downside was th...

Well I guess I've never heard of taking thiamine (vitamin B-1) as a treatment for stuttering, but I've been googling it just now. If it works, more power to you. But I'll remain skeptical for the mome...
