How to improve fluency and reach a point where full conversations are possible? Hi! This is a really specific question. I'm 25 and my stutter is really bad now. Conversations are horribly difficult fo...

Yea brings negativity to most of us. I got laughed at all through school, mocked and mimicked, etc...I have more blocks than stammering so I just am there not making any sound at all, my face turning ...

It's complicated, but yea I don't hate it, sometimes the hate arises, but to hate it is to have more suffering than I already have, so yea I try not to hate it. I look at it as... I stammer so it's in...

It doesn’t go away. I stuttered since I was 6 or 7. Looking back I don’t remember high school being that bad. I mean, outside of the dreaded presentations here and there. University and nursing schoo...

Hey there! As I read your post I could see high school me. I also started stuttering around 4th grade (I was 8), just like that out of the blue. Completely neurological, all those speech therapy seeme...

28. It may never go away but managing it gets better over the years. One thing that has worked for me is self improvement through: 1. Learning to not giving a fuck. 2. Improving my physical self ima...

I didn’t even think about that when I posted this, but I guess it could be a bad habit or coping mechanism. Diving deeper I feel like a coping mechanism is something that helps for a short period of t...

Communication aid that never gets mentioned

Communication aid that never gets mentioned So, I keep going back and forth on bringing this up. I’ve never seen it even mentioned here in this sub and figured I’d throw it out there. DISCLAIMER — I...

I wish I had gone to a manager but I was humiliated by that girl laughing. This was years ago so I am not even sure if that girl still works there or not and I don’t go to that location anymore anyway...

Thank you. I remember once when I was just starting to drive on my own (around 18, I was a late bloomer you could say) I went to order a coffee and literally just drove away because by the time I pull...

I was a similar situation. When speaking at my home country and with family I can easily substitute words that I get stuck with. If I cant substitute with a word from my mother tongue I’ll use Englis...

I wanted to visit America as well and the thing I'm mainly worried about is my speech, I know for a fact that if I do go that it will get so much worse. Sorry for not answering your question but I'm c...

It helps if I read off and point the menu instead of talking directly to the person. I know, sometimes they only have all the things written on the board behind them, but I try my best. Certainly ther...

What normal things does your stutter prevent you or have you dread doing?

What normal things does your stutter prevent you or have you dread doing? I love Subway, but for obvious reasons I dread the process of ordering it. I also HATE it when I am told to order pizza. I stu...

It sucks! I guess that's similar for both sexes. It's probably a little easier for a woman because generally people are quite empathic. It never got in the way of dating for me but it has limited my c...

Good thread here.. Yeah me to. I still hate talking on the phone. When I young I stuttered fairly severely, less though after therapy, puberty, and a little less with more age... Practice practice...

Oh you're completely right, I know I need to make an effort to start doing it because I'm definitely making life harder for myself. I can book GP appointments online (just had to fill in an annoying...

I relate with you 100%, and I often avoid phone calls when it’s more convenient to perform the task online instead. However, making doctor/dentist/vet appointments often can’t be done online. For me ...
