It is so depressing to not be able to speak, and have conversations with people, including with my own family. Hello everyone 🥹 in a way I am glad this group exists because I do not feel alone. But a...

IMO - blocks are the worst bc most people are completely unaware of the reason for your unexpected, awkward silence. Because they are human (and untrained and in the realities of debilitating dysflu...

Literally me right now. Went on vacation and haven’t been this relaxed in years just to come back to even more blocks !?!?...

I know this is late but I hope it helps someone. I had an interview for a call center job two weeks ago. I thought the interview didn't go well. It was an online interview by the way. A colleague wa...

I used to just repeat letters, had speech therapy as a kid and it didn’t work. Family then moved house at 12 and it nearly completely disappeared. 14 years old and it came back and had evolved into to...

Sounds like we have the exact same type of stutter, but I would describe mine as severe haha. Yeah they allowed me to type it, when the recruiter called me I told her I have a stutter so the answers t...

Did they really allow you to type it out??? That's a nice company to allow that. Tbh I don't stutter bad. I just have tons of speech blocks. It's to the point I get stuck midway or start of a sentence...

I’d take this is as a win. Now you know what your blocks are even better. Also, the person thought that your voice was breaking, and not stuttering. I’d be happy about that. 😊...
