You want to hear a joke? I've taught oral English for over five years despite my horrible speaking (it's not a stutter, I don't what it is, I'm a member of this sub because it's one of the few places ...

Speaking in another language can sometimes feel like taking on a different role, which can alleviate some or all of the stuttering. But it'll most likely end up being susceptible for stuttering eventu...

I HATE USING THE PHONE.

I HATE USING THE PHONE. I don't have a really bad stutter most of the time, but it almost ALWAYS happens on the phone, even with people I'm incredibly comfortable around. Sigh....

I don't remember what they were called but a few: 1) Block or stutter on a word? Stop midsentence and slowly repeat the word and continue on in the sentence. Felt so awkward doing this, so only did i...

I just wish Ruth Mead, or Linda Rounds ( wrote a similar book), John Harrison, etc came out of the dark and did an interview or set up a website. You will find these people in a yahoo group posting s...

It does repeat itself a lot, but I'm a fast reader and often miss points. I think she hammered everything home very well. Personal opinion, but I see where you're coming from. I can see how the speak...

I've read it a few weeks ago .I didn't liked the way it was written (too much stuff repeating over and over again) but i agree with the ideas presented there .I noticed that when i don't think about w...

Thats the thing i thought about that too, i was like why couldn't i have a name i could pronounce easier but thats bullshit. People who speak normally don't have troubles pronouncing certain words, th...

I would advice against that. I know a few people who did that, only to end up stuttering on their new name eventually....

I'd say 50/50. I sometimes use circumlocution, but I've been trying to force myself to say what I mean and be comfortable with my stutter. I'd say I have mild stuttering. For several years I hardly st...

I know.. I'm thinking about changing my name to something easier to say once I move states for just this reason. If it is all mental though, how did it present itself in the first place? The whole thi...

Edit: I also am someone who is fast in the things he does, Like for example I am/was supper hyper as a kid and I like to get things done fast but not normal fast because I always would walk faster tha...

to OP: not being happy is not because of your stutter, its because you are 17. if you didnt stutter you would think you were too tall, too short, too smart, too dumb, or anything else. we are socia...

personally, i have my down moments about it (just look at my post history in this sub) but nine days out of ten it simply doesnt bother me. dont get me wrong, it sucks when you order the burger when ...

I rarely ever have people make a comment when I stutter when giving my name. A couple of times I can remember someone asked me if I forgot my name, and I just kept going till I got the word out. I fel...

I think that makes sense. I usually like to announce it to people when I first meet them though, I think it not only makes things easier for me but it also helps people to understand stuttering. Jus...

I either just continue saying my name or i'll give a small head shake and then go back to finishing my name. Sometimes i'll say no and go back to finishing my name. There's no anger in it and they usu...

I used to sell on eBay and would always contact them via chat but since they took that off, I would never call them :(...

You *have to* endure and you *have to* push yourself each time further and further. And you will get there eventually, you just need to focus and find your specific way how to get rid of it. As I men...

Just not talking wont get you anywhere. I will also have my 20th birthday this april and yes these escape situations are really annoying. I know I could do better, but I dont because of my stutter, f...
