I’m sitting at a loud bar

I’m sitting at a loud bar And the man behind me is ordering a drink and stuttering. The bartender couldn’t understand him. What’s the concensus on telling the bartender what he’s ordering? My gut t...

i have this habit of telling people i stutter before talking to someone because i don’t want them looking at me crazy😭(they still end up doing it anyway)

I believe that people find stuttering cute if they have a hard time coping with or properly understanding the hidden covert behaviors, the 90% that happens below the [iceberg](https://www.google.com/s...

Yes, every huckster selling stuttering miracle cures offers the same thing. And desperate stutterers convince themselves they've had a breakthrough in fluency. And then a few months later, when they'v...

I had it for a few years in elementary school, and then one day in 3rd grade I just decided I was done with it and refused to go anymore. The mechanical techniques didn't seem to help at all, and ther...

You really don't need to protect your child from all harm. Stop overprotecting him and hiding him from the trials of life. Stop taking all the responsibility, stop treating him like a child, stop nu...

Year_24 gives good advice. Pretending you don’t stutter is one way of doing it, but he’s spot on when saying your attitude in stuttering changes. That’s what helped tremendously with my stutter. I, ...

My life is not exactly normal but I enjoy it. My twenties were tricky but I did manage to complete university, get a degree and then a masters a few years after that. None of which helped me get a job...

I f***ed up another jobb interview

I f***ed up another jobb interview Normaly i would feel so sad but this time im am not at all sad or any emotions, i think this is because i see that if they cant see past my stutter then that is thei...

Nice! It was mind opening for me when I realized this. It meant I could work on my stutter, instead of work on a fear response (which for me was blocking). My thoughts are that blocking is a behaviou...

And sometimes I spell each word seperately like R.O.C.K. it's funny to see their faces while they constructing the word. Let them use their brain also....

My best way of reducing blocks is just reducing my tension in general. I just work on anxiety reduction and self acceptance. I was taught a strategy by a SLP years ago to "soft start" which is making...

Every single time someone asks me my name, I internally roll my eyes. If it’s a stranger who I won’t see again, I give them a fake name. If I have to say my legal name for context, I just spell it out...

I suffer with blocks too (27M). I don’t have any techniques that work 100% of the time, but I wanted to comment so that people know that they’re not suffering with this alone (and I know how frustrati...

Not sure if it was you who I told this before: I realized that for me, the reason I blocked was because I was resisting actual stuttering. So for example, if I wanted to say "Smartphone" and k...

I still block nearly everyday at 29 but the biggest thing I’ve changed (and am still working on) is making a concerted effort to not care what people think or how they react. Way easier said than don...

Yes, I was mildy mean to somebody so he/she doesnt want to talk to me so I dont stutter. This happened so much in the past. I think now I dont do it anymore :D...

People who don’t have a stutter can be empathetic but they can’t ever really understand what it’s like. I’ve had people laugh at me when I’m trying to order food and most of the time I think it’s just...

Why beating yourself up after stuttering event is THE WORST thing you can do.

Why beating yourself up after stuttering event is THE WORST thing you can do. Disclaimer: This applies to people that've mild/moderate stutter esp. those whose stutter gets more pronounced in feared s...

And I knew exactly what I was getting myself into too, I guess I didn’t think it was going to be this hard , I didn’t think the customers would basically be verbally abusing me over my stutter . That ...
