Lol this 100% and if I have the word written down or is in some sort of display, only AFTER I see the other person is actively reading it I can say it fluently...

It’s ok to feel what you’re feeling. I stutter during my presentations too. Something I began asking professors is if I could record my presentations instead of having to physically speak in front of ...

Yes, but because I didn't stutter he might have blown me off. He did prescribe a very common antidepressant that made things worse. My stutter is situational. I stutter badly when trying to explain an...

I’m on the same boat with you, phone calls and talking over a walkie talkie. Usually breathing on the exhale works for me and talking slow but not too slow. Anxiety is still there but since I’m on the...

asking was good, instead of declaring an assumption that some people do. "can I p... p...." "you can pet him. go on." "no I mean p...." "you can pet him. YOU CAN PE-" or instead of getting o...

I still do this, so I would usually skip “hello” with “hi I’m calling for…etc etc”. It was awkward for me at first but I’ve grown to it as long as it gets things done....

I also say uhh and um a lot. What worked for me was taking a breath in and speaking on the exhale. And I try to talk slow as well or prolong a word so I don’t stutter on the next one. For example if I...

I can’t even say my name unless I say “My name is”. I also have blocks here and there. I always start a sentence with ummmm then I start talking, works for me. Or I take a deep breath in and on the ex...

I can’t even say my name unless I say “My name is” and I hope so cuz I’m 29F. I also have blocks here and there. I always start a sentence with ummmm then I start talking, works for me. Or I take a ...

My last name has always been a thorn in my side. Almost all other words come and go, sometimes I can pronounce them with ease and then an hour later I get a block. The good thing is I can usually se...

I’ve had my fair share of presentations and they all went badly. So now I have ADA accommodations for presentations. I only present in front of the instructor or do an alternative assignment. I have t...

i cant even talk to my family

i cant even talk to my family I have the block stutter, where my throat just tenses up when im about to say something. Before, I can actually talk to my family without stuttering, but now I cant eve...

I need advice I say uhh and um a lot and I also struggle with words that start with B,K,D,P,T. I've tried a lot of things but they seemingly haven't worked, give me some tips and tricks that you've us...

I can’t say my own fucking name without having a long ass block. I just started calling myself Smiley lmao fuck it...

Not a doctor or speech therapist, but I suggest talking with both. The therapist has certainly helped my young son. A doctor could see if beta blockers would be a fit for you. The public speaking issu...

The good thing about Hirevue is that they usually give you multiple takes to record. I’d use the first couple to practice and “workshop” your answer. I operate best with a framework and the one I use...

oof all the time. for me, these "nightmare words" are mostly those starting with a consonant (especially words starting with "p" and "c"). it gets so bad that i actively avoid saying any words which i...

nice to see someone feeling the same way as i do🫂 i dont feel alone anymore. I dont know abt the gaba tho. It isn't available in my area and idk if that's even safe for me (17) haha. If may i ask, wh...
