It sounds like you are having intense blocks (no sound comes out) which is essentially caused by fear of others hearing your repetitions. Honestly, the best way to decrease the number of blocks is to...

I put the fact that I stuttered on the bottom of my dating profile. My now-wife loved it...

Not finishing their sentences is a big one! Also good point on not bringing it up, I have a co-worker that loves to tell everyone in the office “King SiR has a little stutter to him, he’s just shy” na...

Been there many times when I was younger. If you block hard at first, tell them you stutter and it makes it easier. I'm older now and more fluent...but had so many hang-ups that I understand this post...

I tell the girl from the start about my stutter and if they act any different towards me about it then I cut them off. If they aren’t accepting of it just know you dodged a bullet...

We were just talking about this in our stuttering community - feel free to join for free using the link in my profile. For context, it's important to disclose your stutter if it's someone you want to ...

Absolutely. I just started a stuttering community for professionals who stutter and we talk about this all the time. Feel free to join for free on my profile, but beyond just the community, I disclose...

Just let them know you have a stutter from the start. The right person will always be accepting...

Yes! When I let people know I stutter, it eases the pressure on me and honestly makes the conversation feel more relaxed. Everyone is different however....

It’s a good idea to start by telling them you have a stutter then I always rehearse what I’m about to say or even right down the main points so I don’t forget them later...

Definitely disclose. Please don’t try to use “take a deep breath” because it’s not necessary and will almost definitely worsen the situation. A block as described is actually a moment of brief fear...

Question. Do you think you stutter trying to say “it’s okay” because it happens usually after an anxious and rapid moment, like somebody knocking over your water bottle? Because for me I stutter the m...

Cool man, I‘m also studying law at the moment (about halfway through). What helps me a lot is to talk to my lecturers about my problem. For example I missed the first 4 sessions because I was too afra...

Names are the worst. But what you’re doing is a nice icebreaker for yourself and the person you’re talking to. To me it shows you aren’t ashamed....

I started college this year and have been doing this with lots of people I meet, in more of a joking way that actually kind of helps break the ice too. "I'm [stutter severely saying my name], and as...

Great observation! There’s a professional speech therapist who calls that “bobulations” - the imperfect speech the that everyone has, but isn’t bothered by. The main difference is that people who s...

That's a good idea! We (as stutterers) don't want to admit that we have some kind of specialty. When I was having very important conversations with someone who could be confused by my stuttering, I al...

My Job Interview Experience

My Job Interview Experience Hi all, I’ve been lurking this page for some months and first I just want to let you all know I draw inspiration from each and everyone of you. I know it’s not easy being ...

Yawning can indicate being uncomfortable or anxious. Practice self disclosure. It’s not fun or easy to do but I think you’ll be surprised by people’s reactions....

I just say 'I have a stutter' right away and start to talk. Or I say nothing. They will notice it anyways. I stopped caring about it and I often even forget I have it...
