My first job was at a gas station. I remember I was so nervous because of my stutter. I didn't do really well on the cashier so they made me do the cleaning 😅 (cleaning shelves, restrooms, mopping, s...

Don't panic and overthink. You only feed a stuttering mindset by doing this. I know that it's easier said than done. I had blocks on my name and it went away after a few successful introductions becau...

I really don't agree, or at least for me personally. I've alwase been very social and friendly, but stuttering just has a death grip over my life, like a mental cage. If that were to be lifted then I ...

😁 not at all my friend, not only i used it for my name but for my sons name, what i do is a pause so either people say did u forget ur name or ur sons name, or did you really have to think about it ,...

Same, however when i block people assume that because im a foreigner not knowing the language😁 so if i want to say the word "table" instead of blocking i will pretend that i forgot how is it called i...

As long as we make stuttering a battle it seems to get worse. I was a pro athlete and tried bringing the same mentality to overcoming stuttering, it failed miserably and actually would worsen. It’s mo...

Has anyone felt like half a person because of their stuttering?

Has anyone felt like half a person because of their stuttering? I've always felt like I'm half a person walking around. I don't have the freedoms to do what everyone else does, nor do I have the freed...

Same here. People think i’m fluent because I don’t stutter on many words and can sometimes avoid stuttering on those words....

New Stuttering?

New Stuttering? Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I am 28 years old and had language problems since I was a child. As a child I had to go to a language school because I couldn't pronounc...

If I'll buy this thing I'll probably feel like I can't talk at all instead of stuttering and from my prospective it worse...

I’m a female stutterer. I was very opinionated and extroverted when I was young. I was dimly aware of my stutter but was absolutely certain it would go away when I got older because I’d never heard an...

Big +1, it was doing this that robbed my stutter of it's power. I allowed myself the humanity to express my annoyance at it and even the humor in it. Blocking is annoying, getting stuck on one single ...

As a woman who stutters: yes, it affected me a lot. I’m not ugly but not a supermodel, and the stuttering and social anxiety made it really hard....

I was very much an introvert when I was younger either that or I’ve always been an extrovert but I just couldn’t show it because I was painfully shy and would just opt to be selectively mute at times ...

Before the presentation even begins I would say to get it out of the way and let everyone know "I Stutter". Being upfront about the entire thing that's causing the fear and anxiety for us is going to ...

Perhaps admit you stutter and sometimes you struggle on your name? The best answer for you is the one which probably frightens you most but you know you'll grow by doing it (give a fake name won't do ...

In my experience, very very rarely do people comment on my stutter or take issue with it. In fact I'm not sure it's happened at all in adulthood to my knowledge. What's far more important is the vibe...

Agree with you 100%. Sounds like a scare tactic and can cause way more harm than good… - the Maguire programme I might add focuses on the importance of ‘relapsing’ and how prominent it is because it C...

One thing you may or may not find useful: don't congratulate yourself when you have fluency (no matter how rare it may be). It's the flip side of shame, and both of them probably contribute to the "t...

Yk, I read a really helpful article last night about stuttering and talking to people. One of the points it had, which I thought was great advice, "If you show it doesn't bother you, then why should i...
