I'm of the 'just talk' camp, too. But sometimes it's just so fucking hard...and like others say, when I'm writing I'm a far better person. There are a couple of excerpts from Warm Bodies by Isaac Mar...

I'm from the just talk camp as well. I've never been one to let my stutter shut me up, but it's so god damn infuriating when it ruins my delivery on a joke. ...

the biggest thing I came to realize was that either people don't care or are curious. The dynamics of college for me were much different than high school in terms of how people react to others diffe...

I've stuttered since I was a kid, and like you, I think I'm a lot funnier, wittier, and well-spoken over writing than over speech. But I've done a lot better in college. I still stutter, mind you, but...

I used to avoid going to mcdonald's drive thru I had an easier time going inside. But now they always ask "can i have your name with the order?" I just say "no" and they get super offended. ...

This is one of the few I relate to. WHY does my favorite diner have Country Fried Steak instead of Chicken Fried Steak?! Are they TRYING to cause an incident? ...

I don't relate to many of these at all. I definitely dislike people finishing my sentences, but that's about as far as I go. It missed ones like that horrible face I make as I crash head on into my ow...

Haha, these are amazingly true. The god damn menu one, why can't everything on menus just have numbers next to them D;...

I don't think there is anything all that unusual about your stutter as you describe it. It sounds like you're very internalized with it. You have certain sounds you react to and you are using avoidan...

Same problem, same age, stuttering since I can remember. Fear will always be a factor in our lives. I fear talking to people on a daily basis. Not a moment goes by that I wish I could take that "magic...

I feel like I'm going to go nowhere in life.

I feel like I'm going to go nowhere in life. So, a little background: I'm 20 years old and I've had a severe stutter since I was 12 years old. Through the years it has only gotten worse. It didn't RE...

I used to be most fluent while drinking, and now it's probably when I'm at my least fluent. It's hard to remember the techniques/tools I've now learned while drunk. It's still fun because I can hear...

Alcohol reduces my inhibition to talk and it makes me not care as much about my stutter so I talk more and that frame of mind alleviates the stutter, sometimes only little, sometimes a lot. Depends on...

Xannax for me eases the speech blocks. Alcohol has some of the same effect. It's indifferent with weed and psychedelics. Really good cocaine seems to make my speech much more fluent. Not the same with...

Weed, shrooms and acid increase my stutter ten fold. Alcohol kinda helps i guess but I'm fluent on mdma and adderall. Don't really do anything now but occasionally drink. ...

Don't fear it, listen to what they say. They are just as puzzled as you on what is causing this. They truly want to help and make you feel comfortable. You will find your way in life. I did on my ow...

Ok, so I'm a mechanical engineer. When I was a senior, my partner and I had to give a presentation on a project we had been working on for the past few weeks. I remember stuttering badly through the w...

Thinking that you've already said the word you intend to say, it works for me sometimes, something I've been experimenting lately

Thinking that you've already said the word you intend to say, it works for me sometimes, something I've been experimenting lately For example I need to say the word "tomorrow", a word I would occasion...

Unfortunately, brief conversations, especially ones involving lots of time pressure, are really tricky to address. Those sorts of situations are certainly the ones I dislike the most. While it might ...

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about?

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm very upset right now. I am an engineering student and just returned from an important lab demons...
