Developmental Stutter

Developmental Stutter Have slight history of stuttering and a relative had one at a young age. I had a TBI in 2017 at the age of 13 and started uncontrollably stuttering. Been in and out of speech the...

Thanks, it's a phone interview which makes it worse for me, face to face I would feel more at ease, must admit though ivevspent a lifetime trying to hide my stammer, and yes, even though I do...

I find phone interviews fine as you can prep answers and a short block is okay as they may just think you are thinking. If I have prompts in front of me or read scripts I rarely stutter. If you stutte...

I avoid thinking of it 😂 If there was a video of me stammering I wouldn't watch it....

YouTube is definitely an interesting option, but without a face and voice, my odds plummet. People like some personality in videos. I will dig deeper into this idea and see how creative I can be. Than...

plus, mostly people have made such jokes when they are trying to make fun of me/make me upset. So I guess if you avoid them and hang out with normal people, you're fine. Normally shopkeepers ask me t...

Talking on the phone is always rough for me. I still stutter when talking in person, but on the phone it’s like my stutter kicks in overdrive. The only real advice I can give is try to work around tro...

If you can hide it so well your best friend can't tell I'd say you've mostly cured your stutter. Congrats....

I think if I make a joke and others laugh that’s fine! But when he actively says “I feel bad but I make fun of him for his stutter” that makes me feel like he won’t accept me for me and so I have to h...

100% disclose before you start. If you don’t, it can just make people more uncomfortable and they can just think you’re really nervous. I find personally speaking in front of a mirror really helps. Be...

If you can talk mostly fluently while alone, then practice making calls to random stores, doing involuntary stuttering and then keeping them on phone for a few more minutes - politely pretending to be...

Bruce Willis stutters. Michael Parkinson (the former chat show host) stuttered. we mask it well....

It could be mastered fluency at that age (40s - 50s) or it could also be covert stuttering (word substitution). Are you insinuating Biden is lying about stuttering in his youth? I will agree ho...

Word substitution, avoidances etc..people can be adept at giving an impression of fluency but can come at great internal cost…..My stammer is interiorised or covert. As such, it’s a very hidden diffic...

I swore off speech therapy for life after doing an intensive course in 2010 which seriously messed up my mental health, gave me various avoidance behaviours and feelings of shame common to stuttering ...

I second this and I have spent the last 20 years hidding, and avoiding ppl and situations, you can't control time and don't be like me that now at the age of 41, finally decided to start interacting w...

Just by reading this I know you’re a godsend to this man 😭😭😭 obviously it depends on each person but personally my partner is the only person I feel like I can stop all of the mental effort I autom...

Yeah that’s true. I’m more so worried because since I work with her I’ll see her still. But honestly, my way isn’t creepy or weird...
