Call it what you want, you're constantly talking about how you can stutter/block less, with techniques I agree with btw. You even talked about it in your last paragraph just then, and the video you li...

>A block happens bc you are trying too hard to hide repetitions. I was blocking a few times/sentence. As soon as I got the courage to let ppl hear my repetitions, my blocks quickly and dramatical...

I hate those introductions! So sorry you have to deal with those today. Whenever I'm struggling I try and get someone to introduce myself for me. Like if the teacher said, "Alright, and then next we h...

My theory is this - we block more because we are trying soooo hard to hide our stutter/ repetitions. After a bad period, there’s less pressure to hide bc everyone clearly knows. Same reason lots o...

That’s the best way to describe it, I’m constantly thinking of what I can and can’t say or changing words mid way through a sentence, I had to smoke cigarettes i didn’t like for so long cause my brain...

so you don't have friends either let's practice NoFap it will give you confidence to talk to others because your stuttering will get better...

Anyone else just living like a robot?

Anyone else just living like a robot? Im broke as a joke. Dont even wanna work. Dont want to talk to people. I left my family my friends. I live in a car. I dont even care. Its like I have zero motiva...

Ya I hear ya. I'm bad for that as well. Gotten better over the years ordering tho. As a kid couldn't say I wanted sugar... Stood there like a minute trying to get it out. Always remember that. And th...

For me it’s almost entirely when interacting with workers if I’m ordering food, or giving my phone number to a receptionist etc. I’ve been going to chipotle almost 3 times a week for the past 6 mont...

That’s ok. I spent a few years considering myself to have a disabling stutter (all blocks that I “skillfully” circumvented by pretending, word switching, and flat out lying). During that time, I hun...

Thanks for such an informative comment. I will try all those steps. As you said, I do feel extremely nervous and mostly have blocks rather than repetitions. I think it's because I want to hide my st...

Blocking is actually a more “severe” form of stuttering. It happens bc you are so fearful of ppl hearing your repetitions, you try very hard (too hard!) to hide them. That causes the block. Terms...

Hey! I'm a person who stutters and also interned at an early-stage startup during my college years. I currently work in the venture capital industry and always encourage PWS to go work for startups. W...

Dating advice?

Dating advice? Does anyone have any dating advice for people with stutters? I've tried the online dating scene but I'm very self conscious about my stutter and feel like I can't possibly be perceived ...

I’m sure 98% of people who block “sense thrm coming”. Understanding the difference *is the key* to drastically and semi-permanently reducing blocks. Prepping synonyms and probably that breathing is ...

basically, everyone has occasional repetitions/prolongations, even more as young children. If someone gave you the impression that your repetitions were an issue, and you wanted to do better, you ma...

These are avoidances and further reinforce the fear of stuttering. Firstly it sounds exhausting to have to constantly be on guard and playing defensive jenga with your words (though blocking is also e...

Well done, Obvious_Elephant998! I applaud you for having the courage to get on the phone and call stores, asking a question! Do you ever do this same exercise in person (without recording it obv)?...

Oh, how do you think recording yourself will help? Instead of coming up with some other new ways to improve, you could try what I suggested. It gets to the root cause, and is the recommended metho...

Wow that is rude. However, I think you can use that as a way to try and find what your colleague who stutters does, that you may not. That is, how did his speech differ from yours, aside from the s...
