Im very socially awkward and have a very bad stuttering problem I’m normally alright with conversation and barely used to stutter when I was in college but now it’s gotten even worse, I’m very social...

I know how you feel bro and I'm sorry you're going through this. The truth is that you actually have to accept just the way you are. Just yesterday I arrived late to class and I had to explain myself ...

I’m old AF so I’ve got lots of experience in using “alternative” words to ameliorate my stuttering. It really has given me a good vocabulary and sometimes I substitute well known foreign words. I u...

I am Irish. So what we say is the word “CHEERS”. I as well get blocks with “TH” words. Also another thing we do is give the “thumbs up hand gesture”. When I was a teenager I have a sever stammer even...

I do this as well. I'll usually say things like "i appreciate it", and then when that starts to get difficult i switch back to "thank you". sometime's i'll add an extra syllable onto the front of it,...

for your specific example of saying “thank you”, if i start to stutter on that, i sometimes just stop talking & give a quick friendly gesture (like a thumbs up or something), then try to say it again ...

Haha. I credit stuttering for my expansive vocabulary as well. I do think there is value to not avoiding words though. Not because you’re hiding your stutter but because you’re reinforcing the behavio...

I usually say appreciate it or preciate your help or something like that. When I answered the phone when I was younger I would struggle with Hello or Hi - now I just say Yo or some other casual greet...

Any alternative words??

Any alternative words?? Does anyone else have alternative words they say when they stutter on the words they want or trying to say?? I struggle with the “TH” in Thank you when someone compliments me i...

So true. I remain reticent in many situations. I thought I have a talent for speaking. In normal discussion or debate with peers or some random strangers I can make them shut up with my eloquence. But...

Yes, true. My stutter type is silent blocks so I usually switch words or think of an alternative synonym. Sometimes the block resistant is so severe that I had to stop speaking at all because I didn't...

Have you heard of Toastmasters? I have a stammer, and I couldn't pick up the phone to say hello, and after weekly sessions of Toastmasters, putting myself in a sales position where I experienced sever...

Yeah, I dont mind sometimes when someone finishes my sentence for me if its something obvious but i know a lot of other people with stammers really dont like it....

Yes i totally get that. When i first noticed i since believed that having huge self esteem help u control your breathe and think clearly about the words you put out. We stutter because we so afraid of...

I deal with that alot i'm 34 i usually stutter so bad when i have long conversations or specially confrontational conversations. I still suffer from that but it got alittle better when i force myself ...

I tried speaking infront of mirror, taking a deep breath before i talk and also deliberately tried to slow down my speech and each words but I have terrible blocking that I can't get the words out of ...

Ok that's some good advice... I've kinda just accepted that I stutter because I feel like I can't do much about it. Right now, my ADHD and depression have zapped any motivation I have for putting in e...

I’ve had people assume stuttering was like a drunk person slurring their speech in that it was caused by our actions (like we do something to cause it). I’ve also had people tell me “just spit the wor...

That's why I don't buy this 'people are generally good' argument , since I have had asshole experiences with random people , I just act as mute and cite medical condition for not to speak, idgaf about...

I feel the same, being rejected by stutter which caused low social skills. I got invited to job interview but somehow being ghosted. I think stuttering is hidden reason - yes Im kinda nervous and some...
