Me, my brother, and my 17 year old AP STEM centered, gifted daughter all suffer or suffered from childhood stuttering and severe social anxiety. My brother and I both outgrew our stutter, but the sev...

I've never thought of that! Unfortunately, the presentation is long gone now, talking about it, he wouldn't know what to necesarily do, I dont know, maybe when he hands it back I'll talk to him about ...

I don’t use any techniques. I’ve trained myself to hide my stutter since I was young. Slowly trying to unlearn and to stutter more freely....

You’re most likely not “stuttering” alone. You’re just alone with your thoughts, possibly after a long day. You may have had a drink or two. You just have a habit of criticizing your speech- every wor...

Similar experience, but thankfully my family can understand me. If I’m outside and have to interact with strangers, I ask my brother to do it instead - feel super incompetent about it...

Just by looking at everyone’s occupation, it looks like we are doing pretty damn good for ourselves and not letting a stutter get in our way. Proud of everyone. I myself am a auditor for a state agen...

I don't stutter when I'm alone but I noticed I stutter when j speak on mu dreams. Freaken bullshit!...

Often we spend sooo much energy trying to mask our stutter, pretending it’s *anything* but, many listeners do not know what’s happening....

Depends actually. I usually don't, but I do stutter when I'm alone but imagine someone else is watching me or that I'm speaking in public....

Currently work fast food, and it’s the face-to-face iPad in the drive thru kind. I would consider my stutter mild to moderate, though it is quite a challenge to not apologize to people about it. I’m i...

I'm a financial software consultant, previously spent 15 years in accounting/finance. I'm on the phone daily with external clients. WFH has helped me tremendously, but the thing that helps the ...

Not a doctor but I can definitely relate to your masking/tricks to avoid stuttering. Changing words to another that means the same thing or talking around the word I'm avoiding. Most people I know...

Thank you so much!! I will sometimes advise them of my stutter, but most of the time I just act like everything’s normal in hopes that if they see me not making a big deal, they won’t. 😁...

I feel you on this, I've been in similar situations at various jobs. Or just communicating with my coworkers. I tend to mke a little joke about it, and break the ice while telling someone "Hey, I st...

honestly go and give the presentation,try to fake confidence at start so u will be little more smooth , also if u stuttered at the end it doesn’t matter does it ? if did this task smoothly ur confiden...

That’s funny lol. That’s definitely the thinking of someone that is covert. I try my best to not be covert anymore but know those experiences well....

I have the same, but the reason is different. If I block without forcing, then people hear nothing so for others it looks like that I'm not trying to speak while I"m in a block. So whenever I'm out of...

I used to self isolate myself too , just smoke weed and hit the dab pens living in my own world because it was so much easier just to have fun on my own and not let anyone in. I realized when it came ...

The thing with stuttering is, most of the suffering is imagined in the stutterers mind than world could inflict on you. You remember every little humiliation, mockery, missed opportunities. People mig...

I get it. Shameful events from years, even decades, ago still pop up randomly in my head. It’s awful. When I was a kid, it was a daily thing. Now I’m an adult in control of what I do (mostly), so I do...
