I'm dealing with this now, man. 20year old male, trying to get a gf and something I have realized/explored intently is the fact that fear is in the mind and stuttering too, is in the mind. Somewhere a...

I'm a life long stutterer in my 40s. It took me far too long to realize that trying to hide it is more than useless, it's counterproductive. She'll find out eventually and be stunned, confused and get...

Help getting a girlfriend

Help getting a girlfriend I'm 17 and i've missed like 3-4 opportunities of getting a gf. My stutter, insecurity, low self steem and 0 commitment have been my biggest obstacles for the last 2 years. M...

I think you should try to hunt down a speech therapist in your area who specializes in or has had successful experiences with adults who stutter. I only have your initial post to go off of, but it ...

Not great, I was introduced to three new people, and couldn't say my name to any of them, one guy thought I said Kelly, I just went with it, I figure I'll never see them again. It's kind of depressing...

Trouble Speaking

Trouble Speaking Hello, I would like to get some insight/suggestions on how to conquer my stuttering, I figure I start on Reddit. I've always been the talkative kind, especially in high school and had...

Topics might be a good idea. I know talking about my week (specially if it was a boring one) could get stale. Having a topic (loosely enforced of course) would be good for those of us that might want ...

I have done something very similar just by forcing myself to have small conversations throughout the workday with people. I enjoy the conversation and it doubles as speech therapy for me. Some days ar...

Sounds like a good idea to work on desensitization or to work on speaking on the phone or something. I don't recommend practicing fluency. That's kind of an oxymoron, since the more we try to be fluen...

I dont know if its a copout or not but I do the same. I always use James, its an inside joke (between me and no-one else) because my name starts with a "J" but I dont stutter on "James"...

I always give a fake name at Starbucks. My go to is Mike since it's easy for me to say and easy to spell...

I hate it when food places require you to say your name, but you just got to deal with it. Sometimes if they notice my stutter, they'll look at my name on my credit card and get it that way. This is...

I was only in there because I had an hour to kill before a meeting. I almost never go to Sbux. Normally I have no problem with ordering food/drinks, I usually "pass" as a person with "regular" speech....

I know them feels OP. But at least you were brave enough to do something that you dread. I have stopped ordering food because It's a waste of money. I do not enjoy my food after a horrible stuttering...

My stutter is very mild--I've been at my job for 6 months and my boss didn't notice it until last week. MANY times, when I stumble over a word, people think I'm making a joke, because it seems to come...

I've been there before numerous times. Sometimes if I'm really struggling I just say a different name that's easier for me to say, but that feels like a cop out. I doubt the cashier was trying to ma...

Yeah, I've definitely struggled with my name at Starbucks. I'm always surprised that people in service industries haven't talked to enough people to realize that some people stutter on their names. ...

I dont see the point in sending another email. Sounds like you want them to confirm your worst fear and tell you they didnt pick you because of your stutter. Well they're not going to do that and they...

OP here, well, I did end up sending a follow-up email asking for an in-person interview, and not too long after that I got an email telling me essentially that they didn't want to see me again, wish m...

If you've got the blocking type stutter it may make sense to mention it at the beginning of the interview; perhaps something lighthearted yet helpful. I recently had a phone interview where I had t...
