I'm about the same age, and I take a similar approach. It was gradual for me. I knew I had to stop caring, but actually stopping that took some time. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks. Some peop...

Hopefully it just gets better. I'm 38 and I'm way more fluent than I was 15 years ago. I also stopped caring as much about what other people think and I think that that helped, but of course it's no...

hope I am not too late everyone as everyone in here has said, everyone is different. For me, i dont mind other finishing my words as long as A) it is an attempt to help and not an act of impatience...

Your right, its short term however its more of an after effect of my reading out loud every night, because whilst doing so it allows me to express the sort of voice I want to have, deep,articulate,slo...

OP, I disagree with you on some things, talking in accents is obviously easier, same with using different levels of your voice. But this is not really you and only a short-term solution. For me, a lif...

My first and last post here

My first and last post here New university making new friends, long phone calls to friends from home, trying and succeeding in picking up girls, leading and directing people, even getting known for my...

I usually play mime off with a joke or laugh, also when saying my name . My advice is just smile and move on. ...

The Problem is I know all the Tricks and which words not to use but when you stand in front of a group I tend to forget everything but it is sweet of you :)...

I feel you. The best advice I can give is to do things without thinking about them, it'll help you worry less and prepare more for something you really want to do. My original example isn't a good e...

Birthdays have been a struggle for me too. You can get around it with "13th of August" or "13th of the 8th". I had problems with "friends" laughing at me in high school too. It just makes you realise ...

That's hard, man. I know exactly how you feel. For me, it was always when we had to go around the room and say our first name. If they did not know that you had the problem, then you should be happy a...

Today hit me hard

Today hit me hard I am 16 years old, a normal guy. But one who has a stutter. I made it all the way through my semester speaking fluently until today when I had to say my birthday and I just froze and...

How about some good slang like 'Ndrew ;) I had to change my name from Susanne to Susi to Susa and now to Sue because it helped me to introduce myself. Someday I will just be S, haha. ...

I actually don't know what sorts of things people do to detrain habits, other than focusing on not doing it. Maybe speech therapists will be able to help there, since it's specifically speech we're de...

Ever since I joined the marines its been 'shit' haha but try it get over it. Mine is starting to make me stutter more...

I used to say "like" ALL the time. I've started to stop using it as much, but it's my fallback filler word when I can feel a stutter coming on. ...

Careful. Stutter "tricks" can become part of the stuttering. They can also fail....

For me if it's an immediate introduction like I'm meeting this person for the first time, like ordering food I usually go with "whatsup man" and then if it's filler for conversation I say like "yeah d...

Anyone else have a "catchphrase" they start every sentence with so that they don't stutter?

Anyone else have a "catchphrase" they start every sentence with so that they don't stutter? For me it's "I think." For some reason I never stutter when I say it, and it can be used in front of a bunch...

I agree. I started using "um" as a filter word to help me push through a block, and now I'm saying "um" so much I probably look like a dumbass. Now I have to practice getting "um" out of my personal d...
