Yes, sometimes even before I start my sentence I know which words will be giving me trouble. You can try the resetting technique, which a voluntary pause and exhale just before the word or syllable yo...

I find that sometimes it is just really convenient. I go to Sam's Club a lot for the cafe, and I struggle a lot to say "meat pizza", and one of the cashiers can tell that's what I want as soon as I st...

Thank you so much for this valuable input! Her speech therapist gave her one technique that helped: tapping on her leg along with the syllables. She told me she gets stuck on a letter in a word. Yeste...

In most cases I hate it but when sometimes I have REALLY long blocks, it's a relief when they finish it and I don't have to say it. But in most cases, even when people finish for me, I still end up ...

When I have blocks I make an ‘ah’ or ‘uh’ sound before a sentence because the earpiece needs the input noise in order to relay it through to your ear. So yeah it does work for blocks, you just need to...

It depends. I think for blocks I appreciate it, because blocking gives the same impression as non stutterers blanking on a word. I do think it’s disrespectful if I’m repeating a syllable or word thoug...

Hard yes to this! Why let me struggle if everyone already understands what I’m trying to say? I’m always grateful to everyone who ends the awkward pause....

Qué tipo de tartamudez presenta tu hijo? A qué edad empezó su tartamudez? Gracias. La verdad es que estoy muy angustiada. Sufro mucho al ver a mi hijo que se bloquea cuando habla. ...

So true, can't even talk about the weather or work with my barber because the blocks prevent the words from coming out sadly...

Oh nice to meet you man! Lmao wasn't expecting that my post would reach to someone from that vid. It really is weird when I have to explain to someone that there are days I barely stutter, and days w...

I have the same problem too. I don’t tend to stutter when I introduce myself, but I always have huge speech blocks and gaps in between when I’m trying to have a conversation with people like it just d...

Sounds exactly like an experience I had but I was the “odd one out”. I was having a better day than I typically have and I can see how someone might get that impression. It was during a zoom call with...

I think I saw a similar video on Tiktok where there were 4 people on a zoom call and the 3 people were taking their time and struggling to introduce themselves with the stutter, there was an odd one o...

I have a pretty severe blocking stutter. It changes, but I find starting vowels consistently hard. “Hello, “Have a great day,” things like that....

Hi! I have the same blocks you described, and I want to give a litle encouragement. I’m 28 now, and I went to college for 2 years when I was 23 to get an associates degree in robotics. It was really...
