THIS! I’ve always had a stutter but I never let it bother me. I’ve known perfectly fluent people who were far less comfortable with public speaking than I was. I still stutter all the time when public...

I work at a supermarket as a cashier, just do it man. Speaking to people is good practice and customers are generally really nice in general and about my stutter....

Yah there is definitely nuance there. I was fortunate to have speech therapy when I was younger that helped a lot. More so in knowing or “feeling” when I’m about to stutter and some techniques to try ...

I agree! Before I go out I always try to say Bye Mom or Bye Dad, but no matter how much I tried I couldn’t say the B word first. So now I say Dad bye mom bye. To other people it must be unnoticeable b...

Yeah, I know that feeling of finally getting it out when you're too far away all too well 😂😂. Getting it out is at least a victory anyway in my eyes (even if it is too far away or too late 😂)....

Thanks for the advice, I usually nod my head to people because it's common in British culture, but today was weird because I got so caught up trying to say thank you that I couldn't think about anythi...

I've never thought of the mouthing technique before. Thanks for the advice. Stuttering allows all of us to become very crafty at creating techniques to try and manage it. It's something that fluent sp...

Yeah, I usually say Cheers before thank you if I feel a block coming on, but for whatever reason, I lost my composure and started over thinking today....

Thanks, I do the same thing on the bus all the time as well 😂😂. I feel like getting it out at all is at least a victory in my books....

This happens to me pretty often and I feel bad. I still force out the "Thank you!", even if they're already 10 feet away, haha....

I HATE this. I usually just do a head nod or smile to show my appreciation. I find it very difficult to off-the-cuff say thank you or other quick greetings if I happen to pass by someone I know cros...

This is me on the bus. But I'm okay if I say 'ta' first. So I do the very British 'ta. Cheers. Thank you!'...

What I do in these situations is give them a bright smile and mouth a thank you. So I don’t actually say it. Most people will assume you’re shy or lost your voice!...

Similar to another comment, I just typically smile, nod, wave, etc - for all the person knows, you're mute! They don't know you! Maybe think of it that way? I might be able to get it out, but I just ...

Lol yeah this me on the bus. I've been doing better but sometimes I can't manage to say thanks until I step off. If i feel like I can't say it i usually just smile and wave. I feel like thats a good a...

I couldn't say thank you

I couldn't say thank you Someone went out of their way to hold the door open for me today and I couldn't say thank you. I managed to finally push it out after 5-10 seconds after the guy was walking a...

You’ll always have a stutter, but you can learn new habits to make it nearly undetectable to listeners, and so you can say what you want, how you want, and when you want. Check out my profile for a ...

how do you overcome your stutter?

how do you overcome your stutter? I know that stutter is incurable. So I just accepted that I can never be the person I wanted to be so I might as well just deal with it. In a few months, I wish to g...

Less ashamed of stuttering but the shame has returned (vent)

Less ashamed of stuttering but the shame has returned (vent) I (M-22) started stuttering ever since I was in school in 1st grade. I went to therapy all my life from 1st grade to 12th grade on an IEP (...

Unfortunately stuttering cannot be fixed, but u can practice techniques to help reduce the frequency of it. Some people report that it gets less as they get older but not everyone has that luck...
