Yep, hate it. I find spelling my name out letter by letter helps. So what if it sounds odd, most business prefer it this way anyway to make sure they get it correct. Same for information, phone numbe...

Just got a job working at a sports stadium behind the bar. Don't let your stutter control you! So I just got a job working as a barman at a football stadium in Australia. It will be very busy job and ...
Whoa whoa. You cant change how other people act. Im glad you're getting a "fuck it" attitude about your speech and I think its good. But dont give these people so much of your focus and attention. Jus...
YES, avoidance has been one of the most tiring and frustrating aspects of my life and I truly just dont want to feel the pain anymore. I think I've gotten to the point where the pain and indignity of ...
That's so cool to me. I went through the same cycle as you, almost exactly. My first name is easier to say than the name I go by, so when I'm ordering food and I need a name I usually say that. When t...

That's still an amazing thing to do mate! Yeah I have, I did a journalism degree at Uni so a lot of the stuff was presentation based, plus I had to do TV etc; which was a trial and a half. But I man...
Okie doke! Well, I had a ridiculously bad stutter as a child. So much so that it made me a social recluse from the ages of 12-16. However, literally overnight, I just decided to push myself and go to...

I have a very severe stutter. For me its all about practice, man. Practice reading on your own just very very veeery slow, like 3 or 4 times slower than you would normally talk. Doing this you will fi...
For me it depends on the friend. I have some friends who genuinely try to guess and that's fine. But the ones who pretend to guess and interrupt me with some vulgar word, that annoys me. And if I'm on...
What I do is try to change the way I speak, like another accent or put emphasis on words. I stutter really less now, i almost never stutter with my friends or anyone, i just stutter when ordering some...
I agree! Using a word/sound that is guaranteed to be easy allows me to transition into the trouble word with a high rate of success. It allows the air flow across my vocal cords to be constant rather ...
life long stutterer here and I know exactly what you mean and how you feel about saying your own name. I got so bad at one point that if i was ordering something and no one knew who I was I would use ...
Practice an easy transition word, usually one without a hard vowel as the opening transition to start fluency. I use "This is (my name)" instead of "I'm" or other more difficult starting openers. With...

Stuttering;Disconnect Living as a covert stutter for 20 years has left me with a catastrophic hole in my spirit, connection to others has been skewed for so much of my life that I feel completely inhu...
Personally, I've found that the more you try and plan your sentence or you think it over in your head, the more you end up setting yourself up to stutter. The less concious you are about it and the le...
