I work at Subway. so i am glad I can make my own sandwiches now so I don't have to awkwardly try and tell someone else what I want on it....

For a stutterer I think large crowds are fine if no talking is involved. With social anxiety the problem is the crowd or anyone in general that could be judging....

Exposure therapy. I make myself use the drive through periodocally so it never gets too big in my head. Also an excuse to get takeaway haha...

I haven't been through a drive thru in months. I just order my food through a app and go inside to pick it up or have it delivered to me now these days...

Haven't tried. I always think I'll customise the wrong sub and it'll be fucking awful or I'll make myself look like an idiot so I just avoid it unless someone else is ordering for me and I just say, "...

It’s interesting you mention this, no I think people don’t notice it as much as I do. In fact, even times when I struggle people seem to just be happy I helped them. They don’t think I’m incompetent I...

I feel ya 100% Sadly I had a similar experience but I literally stopped even talking lol, it was hell but im way over it, then I did have my moments with some more seminars, most went well....

I did that when I was a kid too. Looking back, it probably helped. I still stutter like a son of a bitch but I dont avoid people as much on the phone....

This. I had to do it as a kid. I hated it and got hung up on all the time at first. Then it got easier. Now I don’t care about talking on the phone at all. I know a bunch of fluent people who hate tal...

Dam it--I wish I could forget that I stuttered and had superior confidence!!! I NEVER worry about stuttering and I stutter nasty!!! This is hell for me!!! I never ever have focused on how I say thin...

I stopped worrying about how others perceive me a long time ago. They honestly don’t care or even if they laugh it only lasts up to 10 seconds before they’re on to the next topic of discussion...

I put that I stutter in my bio. it's a good way to weed out people. I wouldn't want to go on a date with a pretty girl and she find out that I stutter and ghost me. Mentally, I don't feel like going t...

As I’ve said in my other comments, it’s very much a part of me and trying to hide will do me more harm than good...

It's tough call fr. On one hand, putting it out in the open, can help some stutterers feel more confident. But on the other hand, some might pass on you (unfairly) because of that, without even gettin...

That's my take too. If anything I tend to lean on the cautious side and have been reminded it's not an absolute rule I have to follow, so for certain dates I don't mention it at all. It's still on my ...

Most of us take great pains to mask it so many people would be confused/concerned if someone stops talking mid sentence and has an unexpected body/facial movement....

Honestly I avoid eye contact with most people, makes me feel very uncomfortable. The only people I regularly make eye contact with while talking are people I'm already comfortable with so I rarely stu...

My stutter is so obvious I pretty much have to mention it if I'm going to be trying to say anything extensive to anyone who isn't just a passing stranger. Otherwise between the blocks and weird faces ...

I think PWS develop all sorts of subtle ways to hide their attempts to avoid eye contact. But it could be unrelated?...

I hear you. I was married in 2008. Intimate ceremony in Italy with family and friends. About 35 of us so I can relate to you. I’m Irish btw… And so, to challenge myself, I opted for the last speech. ...
