I sometimes skip the beginning letter of a word so I can say it

I sometimes skip the beginning letter of a word so I can say it Like when I'm at Jamba Juice and I order the Mango Madness.. I just say Ango Madness, I try to order it real fast so they won't notice. ...

I`m 26 too, but i`m off to speech therapy. I can`t live with blocks and changing my speech anymore. ...

I know this is only a mask technique but you can start with another word like I'm Andrew or try introducing yourself first before the other person has the chance to ask you! It works for me! ...

Definitely agree with you on making the call right away! I find the anticipation is usually worse than actually making the call. I usually build it too much in my head and think: "What if they judge m...

Totally agreed. That's similar to what I did too. I stocked shelves and would direct customers when asked, but most of the time I even went up to lost customers asking if I could help. This was nice...

Someone has suggested to me before to take improv acting classes...Do you feel putting yourself in "risky" speaking situations broke down some barriers in your head in regards to your speech? ...

> there could be other reasons for them not wanting to speak in public. Yep, that's the thing, I know a guy who hates calling, he is very good at speaking with people and socializing, but when i...

When I was young and still in primary school (think 1st/2nd grade) I had some speech therapy to get rid of the worst of it. However, I didn't really like it and found it counter intuitive. To me sitti...

Thanks again for the response. I'm relieved to hear that if I had a child he/she wouldn't mimic my speech and develop bad habits or a the wrong feedbook loop for speech that I have. In regards to ...

you're on the stop. kind of a pressured filled situation for those who turn it into that. Plus, a lot of non stutterers arent very fluent in public speaking situations, even if they dont stutter....

Good news: It only takes two (one if you're in a pinch)! PS. Don't pinch the one you have left. PPS. Ovaries are an acceptable substitute, but double ditto on not pinching....

Computer bench technician. I like being in the back room to work. But I do have to answer the phone to help clients resolve issues. I find the more I know about my trade, the more confident my speech....

Avoidance behavior like this usually doesn't have a positive effect on the mental side of your stuttering....

I'm a video producer/editor, with a moderate stutter. The hardest part was of course the interview but after that talent speaks for itself (no pun intended haha). I used to work in customer service ...

I work as a Customer Service Rep for my company, actually. I take a deep breath whenever that phone starts ringing and I block all the other noises out, and I get through about 80-80% of my phone call...

In Junior High, I sold newspaper subscriptions door-to-door. I'm not sure if I sold them because I'm the worlds best salesman, or if they pitied me. Either way, I made BANK. And by bank, I mean I made...

I'm an IT project manager. I talk a fair bit, leading meetings and whatnot. There are some words that I always stutter on, like integrations but I work around it. I'm sure people notice it, but no...

As far as relationships are concerned, it's healthy if that's the relationship's dynamic. If you are more a "submissive" type, and this works then go for it. If though you are usually more "dominant",...

Oh no, I always go to Mc or Jack every day on my lunch break and order myself. It's only when she's there when she orders for me. I guess I don't want her to hear me struggling. :/...

When I was 15 I got a summer job waiting tables. It was high stress and I was dysfluent. A big table laughed at me when I stuttered the specials but I chalked it up to them being fuckfaces. Overall, i...
