Ive definitely told the people at wing stop a few times my name was John the times I would stutter over my name. lol...

Man, im 23 and have the exact same problem! Vowels, especially at the beginning of a sentence, are hard for me to get through. The worst thing is my name is Ethan, I haven't been able to say my name,f...

Couldn’t say “bye” today

Couldn’t say “bye” today I usually am able to say simple words really fluently, but I just moved in with a new roommate today and I have been kind of nervous getting to know her because we just met. I...

I'll keep this brief (ask any questions tho and I'll respond when I can) Ppl who inherently stutter develop strategies such as pacing or filler words. These are called adaptive behaviors.  Adapti...

Sent you a message with a more in-depth response. But people could respond to pointers such as the ones you listed and could be useful and even have been for me in certain situations. But others might...

Homie I over pronunciate and talk with my hands.. Almost kind of dramatic in a way.. IT IS SO HELPFUL.. Sometimes I aim for like a melodic tone like rhythmic without sounding corny.. Yo I really flour...

You saying "so" is a problem. A technique you need to stop using. Almost like a tick. Do you want to discuss this further via DM?...

Stuttering on A, E ,I ,Y, O, U as first or 2nd letter in a word Ive been stuttering all my life i think, now that im almost an adult(im 16) i want to fight it and dont be scared to talk anymore. I mai...

The breathing helps as long as I can get away with saying "so" before most of my sentences. It can probably sound annoying kind of like when people say "like" a lot. But saying "so" just helps me star...

I do the same thing with my wife and she doesn’t mind, but it’s rough for her too because she has a super unique name that she has to spell out to them 😂 Wives are legends...

Yes I have anxiety about taking on the phone, but voicemail is especially terrifying! I think I have a hard time relaying common info like name, phone #, email, etc, because they are set in stone and ...

TTY Usage

TTY Usage Has anyone used the TTY accessibility feature (teletyperwriter) on their cell phone with good results. I only stutter on the phone and had no idea such technology existed. Thanks. ...

Bro I share the same kind of stuttering as you. I pause until I get the word out or I change the word to one I’m more comfortable with. I get really bad tension in my face and I even have a line next ...

I've done the name swap thing before. My wife looked at me once because I said a random name. I told her if I give her the nudge for her to talk instead. Calling the pharmacy is probably the most diff...

I have the same thing. My T’s are hard on me and my name is Tim 😅 It’s extra hard for me at Starbucks or any other fast food where they ask for a name for the order. I’ve even went as far as saying m...

I agree. Even if there is no anxiety or pressure in my family, my stuttering can fluctuate every minute/hour, which means it can be primary symptoms. I can only experience temporary fluidity with any ...

Yes. When I was desperate for work a few years ago, I applied for a data entry position at this trophy and plaque manufacturer. The kind of plastic awards that might be handed out to a little league t...
