Exactly. However, nothing will change without practice. It can be hard to do with strangers. Tell people you trust that you are going to try this technique and practice it when talking to them. I am t...

I think less struggling and forceful stuttering, which I think of as blocking, is definitely hard to undo but it's made the biggest change in my life. It's kind of like getting to the root or pure stu...

Forcing myself to stutter when I block on a letter or a word.

Forcing myself to stutter when I block on a letter or a word. My speech therapist said that when I block on certain letters or words, instead of forcing them out I should focus on making myself stutte...

Sounds like you've taken some very good steps to addressing your stutter. If you haven't already (it wasn't clear from your writing if you have), have a look at voluntary stuttering. Stuttering in a p...

I've been stuttering since I could speak. It was the same me for me! It's like fear of public speaking amplified. My only advice is to keep talking. Take jobs that require you speak a lot (like retail...

I'm 26, and the anxiety hasn't gone away completely, but it's a lot better than it was when I was younger. I think the more we allow ourselves to stutter, and just let it happen, the easier and easier...

I find that just making *a* sound helps a lot with getting past the block so instead of trying to say mount, just try to get *some* sound out and then try to turn that sound into mount through repetit...

Does the anxiety ever *completely* go away?

Does the anxiety ever *completely* go away? For the last 4 months, I've been pushing myself *extremely* hard to stutter around everyone and anyone as exposure therapy. I've stuttered around hot girls,...

To friends.

To friends. This is a respond post to one of the inspiring topic where the author had wrote: "I think anyone can overcome their stutter if they work hard enough". I want to start by saying: I **know*...

I am the same way. I bought a speech easy device to see if it would help me. It opened my eyes that I was trying to become someone who I’m not. I never wore it again, and have never felt more confiden...

But that's my suggestion: To get used to stuttering, and bringing that level of comfortability with you elsewhere....

>Sometimes, I’ll think fuck it, and just say exactly what I want to say. Good. This is your way out. - >I’ll feel that anxiety over a word, say it anyway **without any problem** Not so good....

You know what. Screw it! I'm turning up the stutter to 11 and whatever poor sap is on the other end of that line is going down with me....

I have a supply chain degree. Going through the college of business, there were plenty of presentations that I had to do. My junior year I got tired of the embarrasment. I decided to start my presenta...

What helps me? Challenging my stutter and proving my negative thoughts wrong. Just today, I was tasked with swapping $10 in coins for a $10 note at my local convenience store (a big deal for a stutte...

>and the > >best advice > > I can offer is for a stutterer to expose themselves to more speaking situations to desensitize yourself from the fear of speaking. that's a great a...

You could consider disclosing your stutter before you present, that way you’re less worried about people finding out you stutter (which isn’t a bad thing). You can even make a joke about it to lighten...

Own your stutter. The class as a whole probably hates public speaking. You can be the badass who shows them up by volunteering to present first and owning it despite your stuttering!...

I get you a 100%! I have a stutter too, I have had a stutter since I started speaking! There are good days where you’re all bubbly and talkative and confident and you actually start conversations, a...

I agree. I should have clarified that the control I was referring to was more defensive and resistant. Pro-active control is helpful indeed...
