This got long but I left it, I am often told my intro can be disarming: Practicing an intro that flat out tells people before I get ahead of myself really has helped even though it's 100% to make othe...

Realizing what fears are truly holding me back and making a plan to overcome them. Also creating a lifestyle that is extremely expressive. What would you say your biggest fear is when it comes to ...

Sure! But it's also because you avoid it that it becomes harder. Ofcourse you suck at something you never do. That's how I see it for myself atleast :)...

This is the answer. Telling them up front will not only put you at ease, it will convey confidence that you are in top of the situation (even if you don’t think you are)......

Me too omg I think my stuttering also manifested with trauma, but as soon as I finally got out of my denial stage (of my trauma) my stuttering started to get better slowly....

I highly suggest you disclose your stutter at the top of the interview. Your potential employer won’t be confused as to why you speak in that way, they can better integrate you into their workflow wit...

You’re thinking in terms of black and white - “if I stutter it will ruin everything but if I don’t it will go perfect” this isn’t good for your mental health. Try reframing it to “well I did as best I...

Fyi, a lot of non-stuttering people are terrified of phone calls too. We're not alone in this, although no, I don't get worried whenever I have to make phone calls now. Overcoming this fear isn't some...

"Ignoring presence of listeners" sounds a great idea. Thank you so much buddy. I hope this technique work for all of us. Stay blessed...

My therapist said it has more to do with learnt behavior than 🧬 genetics. You learn it consciously or subconsciously how to speak in certain situations and before you know it, it becomes your way of ...

Congratulations man. Don't hide your stutter, if it's going to happen let it happen. Don't focus on it, since at the end of the day she probably won't even have a thought about it....

This comment is golden :D! I think acceptance is the best cure to be honest. Again, depends on the person, but personally I've noticed that since I've been giving less attention to my stutter, it does...

I have the same thing. For me it's an expectation I put on my self to be fluent that exhausts me. Some years ago after migranes, locked jaw and neck pain I reached my limit. I asked myself, who was I ...

I just googled AvPD, and that is literally me to a T. Never even heard of that personality disorder, what a revelation....

I’ve never been so lonely, but I have no energy to change. In my head, every social interaction is something to be avoided at all costs. Here’s just a little venting and some backstory of my life experiences so far.

Tbh I’m introverted too, so I have extra reason to not want do deal with people haha. But thank you, I appreciate your advice...

I got that because it's subtle. It might start a conversation, but it's not something like a t-shirt that says "stutterer" (which I might make). I had thought about it for a while and I still love it ...

As a 17-year old boy who newly got a job as a IT-developer in a big company, I understand what you are going through. However, I have one big tip: just be yourself. Don't ever not say what you want to...

This reminds me of (I think) Chris Evans’ discussion of anxiety. That you eventually treat it like a friend. While you wrote that you couldn’t imagine having it with you the rest of your life, I total...
