Say exactly what you want to say, word for word, no avoidance or substitution, and you will eventually hit a block. When you hit that block, admit that you stutter. Double win for you: exact represent...
Suttering as an Elephant in the room for me
Suttering as an Elephant in the room for me I am 22 yo stutterer and I my experience lately is different than before. Currently at the university and in the work (I work in corporate company as a Busi...
I regret not doing it. I've been struggling with mental health issues and I think my stutter is at the heart of them but I've never addressed it directly. I'm a covert stutterer and most people won't ...
Social skills
Social skills I’ve been stuttering ever since I can remember with a mild to moderate stutter. As a kid it was rough always the outcast and I think it’s because of my stutter but I’m not sure. It wasn’...
Same thing happens to me. Then you repeat the line, and people because don't realize it's a joke they're confused for a second until they do a mental switch to "oh, he's making a joke" and the entire ...
hey ya'll. who wants to get rid of their stutter together?
hey ya'll. who wants to get rid of their stutter together? Pretty much the title. I am 21 year old recent college graduate. I don't think my stuttering has held me back that much. I have a lot of clo...
Exactly! You're more than your stutter, and when someone can't see it, it typifies them more than it typifies you....
Hi, I just wanna point out that sometimes, often I think, it's kind of mysterious how this kind of dramatic shifts in perspective happens. As you word it "one day I just realized..." So, yeah, *some...
It took sometime. One day I realized it was something I would have forever so I decided it could be worse. Then I actually started making jokes about it and I started being more open about it. The mor...
I would keep it because I dont see it in a negative way. Dont get me wrong I have my moments were communication is a nightmare. When i really get stuck on a word i make a stupid face that i hate. But ...
the internet. As a fellow semi stutterer (I instantly knew what you meant lol) The slow pauses are actually taught in speech therapy and I don't use them for the exact reason you stated, yes they wo...
Same thing. I'm from Italy [M 23], and i too have a mild stutter, that i always hide with quick word swaps, pauses and accurately placed "uhms". When you stutter for 16 years you start to come up w...
it’s soooo much easier to tell new ppl, i’m about to go away to college and i’m gonna advertise the FUCK out of my stutter and i have a feeling that’s gonna help a lot...
I never thought about my stuttering as “covert stuttering” until you made this post. I always thought of it as being a closet stutterer. Covert stuttering is a more accurate definition of what I’ve be...
That's good to hear. I've been trying to come out to people and I don't know if it's just me but I feel like it's easier to tell someone new rather than telling someone who you've been talking to for ...
same boat tbh. it’s exhausting to try to hide your real voice from everybody. i’ve only opened up to a small number of people but mostly every time i’ve had to tell somebody it’s been a positive exper...
Damn, this is so relatable. I have a mild to moderate block that tends to heighten in scenarios that make me nervous or second guess my speech (aka taking food to a table and saying the names of said ...
I feel that if I didn't stutter, I would have presented myself differently in school. I would have given presentations and raised my hand to speak more. It always frustrated me that I had so many thou...
Covert stuttering.
Covert stuttering. I've been a covert stutterer almost all my life and now that I'm 24 years old I'm having a really hard time coming out as a stutterer because I have been so used to hiding it. It's ...
Be yourself. If she doesn't like you for who you are, it's not worth it. Also, be confident. If you see she starts getting confused, just tell her you stutter and act like it's no big deal...
