Struggling with using the phone at work

Struggling with using the phone at work I'm sure this has been posted about many times before, but I just need to get this off my chest. I'm pretty much at a loss with what to do. I've avoided using p...

Come on man. I know Diazepam is not going to heal or cure me. But what should I do? My speech is killing my life, my relations, my ability at work etc. My stuttering is making my life quality horrib...

Hey I feel you. Honestly we just gotta take things a day at a time. Appreciate the highs and ride out the lows. Try not to compare yourself to others. The fact that u made the call despite the fear is...

It sounds like stuttering is negatively affecting your quality of life in a big way. If you choose to seek speech therapy, you may find that it's more worthwhile to be able to say the things you want,...

Glad that that technique is working for you. I too feel the same, people take things for granted, the things like answering calls and conversing with ease is really enviable from my point of view. I d...

I just want to get rid of it and not be labelled and ignored all my life:( or even miss out on matters just because I can't speak without a struggle....

I feel the same too! If someone was with me when I'm traveling in public transport or ordering food, I'd do those things without having to feel like a loser, and sometimes I even forget the route that...

Everyone is so used to speaking so they treat this like nothing. That's so frustrating, I'd rather have only anxiety and suffer with that than have both speech block and anxiety. It's ruining my life,...

The worst is when I’m trying to order food at a restaurant or talking to some kind of service person. My friends and family and coworkers all know I stutter so they just wait patiently till I get it o...

I completely understand. I have a lot of trouble with blocks, especially when answering the phone. Whenever the phone rings at my job I literally get so scared my hands shake when I pick it up. Same w...

I'm suffering from the same problem. I'm going through so much and I can't explain it all in words. It's that painful. I too am into teaching and my problem is that I can't get myself to travel to pla...

This person is exactly right. I’m 33 so seeing the rise of texting in high school was a godsend. But beyond that everything is moving to apps. And I mean EVERYTHING. It’s coming to the point you can d...

I’m 24 and yeah people tend to think I’m “slow” until they actually take the time to listen and hold a conversation with me and it usually ends up with them blown away by the depth I can take any conv...

I’ve been denied drinks at. It’s so frustrating. I don’t drink anymore so I don’t deal with that any more....

Do people assume you are “slow”?

Do people assume you are “slow”? Just found this sub a few minutes ago. Wow. I’ve been reading and it feels good to find a group of other people who stutter. I’ve only met one other person who I could...

I resonate with just about every point on that list. The iceberg of stuttering, very few people(and unfortunately that often includes those around us who really should know better) realise how far r...

Does anybody here know of any technique to tackle stuttering when asking for a ticket on bus?

Does anybody here know of any technique to tackle stuttering when asking for a ticket on bus? [deleted]...

It's definitely luck unfortunately. I live in Australia so the disability benefits are higher than that of other countries. However the unemployment rate is soaring. There's just no happy medium unfor...

Certainly a stutterer should refrain from applying at a call center or any other customer-facing role (depending on how severe their stutter is). However, I have been rejected outright and discriminat...

“For some reason they class it as a disability” Stuttering is in fact a disability. I’m not sure why so many stutterers try to deny it. A stutterer will inevitably face prejudice, social disadvantage...
