I never stutter when talking to myself.. Rarely with friends.. Always with my family/strangers?! How does this make sense? When i'm talking to myself or whatever, (thinking etc, you get the jist), i n...

I know, it was a victory, but Id rather figure out how to prevent it in the first place. I cant even say its because I havent inhaled yet because Ive gotten stuck with a full breath. It comes and goes...

I just joined reddit itself several days ago hah and I happen to stutter as well. Im 24 and have stuttered my whole life. Up until highschool my stutter didn't really affect me psychologically but now...

Hah seriously that is strange. It's great to see someone so similar to me have this problem resolved, it's going to really motivate me to do the same. As for holding it in, I definitely used and it re...

Wow I only found this subreddit today too, that's weird! Yeah I'd love to offer some advice! I'll try to organise the answers the best I can. First of all, our situations seem to be very similar. I'...

> I'm also going to sit for interviews with startups where they can't afford to have someone like me. This is a fallacy. If they need you they need you. Whether or not you stutter is a secondary...

I like the idea. I did this as a kid reading in class and now that its coming back to me as an adult, I've been trying to use it. I say use it on words you know you may have trouble with. That way the...

Thanks man, I am currently trying to balance schoolwork and online programming classes but is getting harder and harder, I think I can manage it though. Same with music, although I haven't played guit...

I actually haven't really progressed. I skipped a party organized by my University and I'm struggling with attending classes at the moment, I dont know if it's because of my stutter or because I dont ...

If you really have a severe stutter, how do you think you're going to hide it when they do hire you? When they figure it out then, I can assure you they won't be happy with the bait and switch you pul...

This is really only a decision you can make, but I have a couple thoughts 1) Can you maintain the accent throughout the entire interview? What are they going to think if the way you talk suddenly cha...

Strategy's the best one I've tried to date. Went to speech therapy for quite a few years and just felt stupid. I want to try to solve this on my own. I want to believe it's a mind over matter deal. ...

It sounds like you're psyching yourself out. and you're doing it to protect yourself. and I use humor much the same way. Anyway, it is scary and nervous but that's good. you dont want to be comfortab...

So I'm starting work experience tomorrow...

So I'm starting work experience tomorrow... I'm 21 and I've never had a job, I've let my stutter hold me back and I suck for it. Not looking for sympathy, it's my fault, but it's somewhat relevant to...

I always tell about my stuttering beforehand. The problem I find is that people dont know what it actualy means, at least not for me anyway. The main problem for me isnt that I get stuck on words, its...

Plan out your main convo, and it'll be easier. I used to have a 'go-to' list of first date questions and convo. Ex: What 3 superpowers would you choose, which animal ability would you want most? Be ch...
