I just cannot do any types of personal questions where there are no word substitutes. "First and Last name please?" "Where do you work?" "Where are you from?" Etc... I immediately lock up and can...

This is good. Likely everyone already knows. Nobody gives a shit but you, OP. If it helps, apologize in advance and own it. Having cues to improvise from is helpful so you can adapt as you go. Don't s...

I just can't seem to be ok with stuttering. There are a few moments when I am ok with stuttering in a moment and I can calm down and just stutter easily but most of the time im uncontrollably trying s...

I'm in the same boat brother, I was always the one who would sit at the back of the class (in the corner) and try hide behind the people in front of me so I would not get asked a question. I always dr...

That's actually a good idea, find a name that you can say easily rather then saying your own which can be hard. My name is Ashley and I struggle to say it sometimes...

I go by a name other than my legal name and it's just a hassle telling people or establishments; like my work...

Yes, I deal with this nearly everyday. Some times I get lucky and manage to force out my name, but most I have to say 'sorry, I have a speech problem'. Hardly anyone knows my name. Mostly I deal with ...

Just let them wait! Even if you have terrible blocks, so what? You're won't piss them off by stuttering. In fact, if you just keep going they most likely won't even care. Don't try to think of other...

Yes, everyone knows my stutter I have the option just to do backline away from people or talking but I feel like I'm jut hiding from my problems so I force myself into the other positions. How come I ...
