How to quit saying um before I stutter

How to quit saying um before I stutter So I (m20) have been stuttering since I was a kid but I've always had a problem with saying um before I speak and when I don't say um I automatically get blocked...

Yeah usually if I just meet someone briefly they'd never know I have a stutter. Although I've had some pretty bad introductions where I did stutter through it but for the most part ive gotten the basi...

I didn't talk much in school to begin with so once I developed a stutter, most people wouldn't have known unless they got me to say more than 1-2 sentences in an interaction....

Different “types” of stuttering

Different “types” of stuttering Years ago, I read an article by a SLP who specializes in dysfluency that gave an example of different “types” of stutterers. “Type” may not be the most accurate clini...

Some stutterers just don't talk as much in public. Maybe that's the reason...

Anyone else avoid family gatherings or any gatherings because of their stutter? And if they do go you just sit in the corner on their phone. Or do you not let your stutter determine weather you’re introverted or extroverted?

Fair enough, I'd probably do the same. However, mine wasn't even a voice note, it was just a couple of snaps Back and forth before my self doubt crept in and I just completely ended contact with this ...

I do have similar situations, girls send me like a voice note sometimes but I always text because im nervous and don’t want them to know that I stutter. Im still working through the situation also bu...

Yeah, unless I get lucky and can occasionally say it. Sometimes, I'll get my first name out, and then they ask my second name, and I just block completely. If it wasn't for people asking me my name n...

What do I do?

What do I do? So in around January this girl showed interest in me over Snapchat, however I rather stupidly pulled a cowardly move and just ignored her. At the time I was in a much worse place and bas...

Oh another thing i just in your post, your son masking the y…y… y.. or using shorter sentences. This is because he was made aware of his stutter in a way that he is now covering up that sound. My son ...

I feel like this is why I avoid a lot of things/people because I know I’m going to stutter and be embarrassed lol...

There’s “bad” as in the proportion of your speech that is affected by it, but then there’s “bad” relating to how it affects you. There are covert stutterers who very rarely stutter, but are deeply af...

Same, then she thinks that i am unable to speak to strangers because it must be worse then with her.😅 Not shure how to tell her im next to fluent with complete strangers...

I know a guy who is super confident (over-confident) and still stutter so......

This same happens with me. When I talk to my parents/family/close friends it’s always stuttering between words but then I talk to strangers who I’ve never met in my life, not even a single stammer. I ...

Hey - Congrats on the new job. Do what makes you feel most comfortable, perhaps forewarn your manager/colleagues that you have a stammer and even mention it on the phone if that makes you feel better....

My son started stuttering at age 3. He was and still is outgoing (he's 8 now) It is not a confidence thing. Completely ridiculous...

Ignorant people like this should just be ignored. I’ve had numerous circumstances where I’ve felt like a million bucks and confident… And guess what? I have still stuttered....
