Phones are always tough for me too. Celebrate the small victories and like what was already said, give yourself grace. We are always so hard on ourselfs Keep your chin up!...

It’s comforting to see that someone else shares the same issue. Bro I can’t even say my own name at the pharmacy or on the dam phone. It’s humiliating. In college I did a presentation and couldn’t say...

You can do what you want, mate. You can live the rest of your life being self-pitying or you can choose to have a better outlook. Up to you. > I don’t see what reason there is to wear pride with it ...

It can be both.. i also see a guy daily in my class..he stutters but he has confidence. I feel jealous sometimes that why he is so good at it and why i always run from problems...

Saying my own name does not trigger it. I’ve found that imitating a character, I don’t stutter. May be because I know what I’m going to say like an NPC dialogue. You’re right about that. Honestly I av...

I feel you so much, this is heartbreaking. I'm currently doing a Master's in **Data Science and AI**, and I had a similar humiliating experience. During a presentation with a new professor, I couldn't...

Je me reconnais tellement dans ce que tu dis, c’est flippant ! Dans la vie de tous les jours, on me voit comme une "diva" hyper confiante, mais dès qu'il y a un enjeu (classe, inconnus, téléphone), mo...

I had a very tough go at interviews as well. I will say that the only positive part of being unemployed for 3 months at that particular time was the number of interviews I had. That is really the on...

Interview

Interview ok so my brain knew that this interview was going to be important, and I also knew that I was going to stammer so yeah, I fucked up. The interviewer said Sorry I'm not able to understand you...

What's interesting, I have a feeling that a person whom stutters but is still extroverted is actually deemed way more confident than a normal person. Normal people would probably think, if they stutt...

I mean if anything, the stutter presents us as less intelligent, less confident....

Here is my take on causes behind stuttering. Let's start with clear speech first. Clear speech requires two things: 1. Clear mind (planning of speech, timing of sounds) 2. Relaxed muscles around ...

He’s lucky to have you guys! The patience and understanding you guys have is amazing. Also yes your suggestion on telling people about my stutter before I speak is a good way to make me feel comfortab...

I appreciate your message. Being self conscious about the way i speak was more of a problem when I was younger but at this age, its my health anxiety that has made me feel whether or not my speech is ...

Hi there, thanks for the message, I find i speak better when i focus on a paragraph or read off a script then having to speak on the spot, but it's just irritating having this feeling as if my speech ...
