For me, These options to deal with blocks aren't that appealing. Substituing words will build up fear. And pushing through a block comes with a lot of struggle. Have you made an effort to learn pullo...

Hey, I don't post much here, because I don't actually want to be reminded of it, as stuttering literally has NO influence at all! Only if you care about it. I learned to present in front of people by...

Yep. I've begun doing that for a few weeks now. How do you read when there are words you're going to get blocks on? Do you just power through them or substitute? Also, when people remark on how yo...

I work in customer service talking on the phone all day, I had a really bad stutter (I won't do the guys and girls on here the injustice of claiming I have one since I speak perfectly now, though I do...

Do what you feel like is best. If the change is helping you to get across the block, certainly do it. Don't overthink it too much....

I've always wanted to be a speaker and a salesman. I've got a crazy tendency to interact with people. I'm THAT guy who stops and talks to people promoting their stalls or handing out leaflets on the s...

1. Stuttering has made me less compassionate. It has really shown me how shitty people generally are. 2. I live in an area where there are no stuttering support groups. Only met one stutterer in my l...

Why don't you introduce her to us? Hahah :-D You aren't a blocker, are you? I'm sure nobody likes to talk with a blocker as I am...

I feel it burdens me because inside I'm much more sociable. Like, I want to meet people, I want to talk to people. I want to engage random people in conversation. I've spent time with people who can d...

Haha, that's the opposite of me. When I get real stuck, I'll visualize a script of what I'm about to say and just read from that....

You have to accept it like the other guy said, but you can't down talk yourself by saying "I can't read this" in class. It only makes it worse, I just say fuck them in my head and start reading....

how do u get back up again after a set back?

how do u get back up again after a set back? I've been doing things that I'd never do, things that harm your body, just to be able to speak better. I mean, I'd take stimulants which were obviously not...

With skype, you have to pay for more than 1 on 1 video chat, that's where the problem is. Unless one person wants to actually do it. I have Skype, but just talk to my mother on there. I would much rat...

It's awesome that you're considering it and you should really go for it. I took a retail job at 18 that also involved phone work that I was terrified about but it helped me a lot in the long run....

when you are comfortable with your job, the stutter will lessen. I always stutter when I order lettuce for my sandwiches at Subway. Guess what? by the 10th sandwich, I say lettuce just fine. I think y...

Go for it. Unless its a really bad stutter, it will help you overcome it as you gradually get used to it. Keep in mind that most of the time the person that cares most about your stutter is you. In...

I went through the same thing when I started college. Honestly stuttering sucks but its who we are, something that I do when I start to stumble a lot is I start talking in gibberish for a few seconds ...

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time on the phone. I hate it as well. The way I see it, you've got two options: 1. Do the tape recorder/smart phone thing -- try to have someone call them...

I kind of had the same feeling. A lot of my classes, my professor had us stand up and introduce ourselves to the class (name, major, current job, etc). This was the worst for me, especially if I was o...

I should have known there was someone else who answered a phone with a "Hi." I've tried to get away from it, and honestly I can't remember which I do say right now. ...
