This used to happen to me sometimes. On really bad days i just used to record my status on my phone and play it out loud when it was my turn to speak. I advice against it. But somedays when I feel li...

I get embarrassed all the time. I work at a desk job where I have to make calls some times and am constantly stuttering. But I don't let it over take me and I just embrace it. If I let the fear of emb...

In December, I had a medical procedure where I needed to lay prone in recovery room for 6 hrs. For first two, I was unable to call for help (bc of stutter) and nurse forgot to give me a buzzer. I ju...

lmao when i stutter i blink a lot and my mouth shape changes or it just stays stiff when i get stuck, damn i wonder how that must have been weird to other people....

Not really but my stutter isn't THAT pronounced. I mean it's there but I hide it quite well. It does stop my making friends with the more, I dunno, ignorant people I guess. Which isn't always a bad...

Good idea, will definitely let will let a girl know if I am drunk that I am usually not this fluent. It will also take the pressure off me as well when I am sober which would in turn increase my flu...

I very rarely drink. but when I do I am almost completely fluent. Exactly the reason why I drink rarely, because I would become addicted so fast and I have family who died from alcoholism...

The effect of alcohol makes it significantly better but I wouldn’t say it cures it. Under the influence I’m not as self conscious. I’ll say anything. Whenever I think too much about what I want to say...

Before I say anything I'd like to clarify that I don't stutter myself, most of what I will say is from what some friends who stutter have told me, and also from my own experience in public speaking si...

Any chance you can Zoom? I find it much easier when I can see the person / know they can see me and what’s going on. Telephone is the hardest, esp when the other person is on speaker and there’s backg...

Very true. I have a phone appointment on Monday for my son. He’s in a program that requires annual review of everything going on in our lives. We just bought a new home in a different state (which I ...

Amazing! I am a stutter bartender and sometimes everything turns so hard when i must talk with ppl about menu and cocktails. Gonna try your technique!...

So, stuttering = trying to forcefully repress something you are ashamed of. You still have fear when you are stuttering bc your conversation is ongoing. Or bc you know your life requires regularly *...

I too struggle to fit in conversations sometimes because of my stutter. Especially in larger groups of people. If it's a 3-4 people conversation I tend to be able to speak better. It's good to surroun...

I don’t know but I did read or hear from someone (I can’t remember) but people who stutter tend to talk to themselves more then the average person because we like to hear ourselves not stutter...

I think I just found out how to control my stutter

I think I just found out how to control my stutter Today I’ve had so much confidence because my stutter has been so easy to maintain. I always talk slower and feel like when somebody talks to be I nee...

Yeap. If society didn't view it as a problem we'd never think of stuttering as a problem and thus not develop negative feelings or avoidances. But that's not the world, so we need to unlearn all the n...

Great comment. Disfluency is developed, but struggle is learned. We learn very early on stuttering is bad and we should try to avoid it. This is where we start yo worry about it, anticipate it, and do...

My experience from speaking slowly

My experience from speaking slowly Have recently come to the decision that I have to start speaking slowly if I really want to mask my stutter, which as much as I don't want to, have decided is the be...

You are talking about it. That's a good first step. As a PWS, I can say that people don't really care how you speak. It's only YOU who is stressed. I have started disclosing people about my stutter a...
