RANT!!!! Feeling inadequate

RANT!!!! Feeling inadequate So I try to not let my stutter get in the way of me living life. I’m very outgoing with lots of friends & I still try to engage in conversation even if I sound like I’m hav...

I stutter everyday :) some days are better than others. Some days i can barely get a word out and I just wanna give up on the world. But with constant practice and learning to control how you feel i...

Hi, I'm pretty much the same but I'm 28. I'd say I don't have any friends either, let alone a partner. I also try to hide my speech, but it's not always possible. My colleagues at work seem to be ok...

Sorry way later, it was 3 big time bosses running the town I live in. One was the mayor, firechief and some.other manager of the town hall or worker there . Damn it sounds crazy when I put it like tha...

Good advice would learn body hacking. Learn how ur body works and what u feel right before u stutter. Most of us can feel it. You gotta stop doing the same things when struggling to get a word out cau...

I also struggle from stuttering, unfortunately I do not have too much good advise. However, I suggest you seek speech therapy. It has helped me a lot and I have grown more confident. A good thing to r...

I’d knock off the first letter. I did that for years and then acted like the recipient misunderstood and was at fault for not listening. :)...

I try to say "my name is_____", and I feel like saying "is" and then my name is an easier transition and I'm less likely to stutter than just saying my name...

Believe it or not, but blocks are what happens when we cannot tolerate the mere idea of others hearing their repetitions. Most stutterers report that blocks are more debilitating - no one Willis ask ...

I also can't say my name 95% of the time. I usually kinda jerk my hand out for a handshake if it's something casual and that kinda helps get it out. If I'm at work I point to my nametag in almost the ...

thankyou for this! i’m due to start a job in a chemistry lab in a couple weeks :) got out of this job asap...

Yes, no resistance takes off a huge weight but at the core, the internal blocks triggered by words, sounds, consonants, vowels etc. still have to be resolved. If no work is done on it, things won't ch...

So it’s like you stuttered because you ‚trained‘ yourself to stutter. Like in stressful situations. You overcame that with positive affirmations right? How long did it take (I think you said three yea...

Same here, first on my university class, but sounded like I had no idea when explaining concepts to people. People just stopped asking me, even though I understood most stuff....

Yep, the same scenario with me. I was amongst the top 5 of my class but whenever someone asked me something, i always used to take the back seat saying I didn't understand the concept well and felt pr...

I think your statement “what you resist persists” gets at the idea that stuttering is an approach-avoidance conflict. The more you try to resist stuttering the worse it is: for example trying to giv...

Though I really appreciate you overcoming the stutter but this is not how AMA's are held. I've gone through the comments on this question and you're coming off as arrogant with your replies. If someon...

I stutter but quite good academically

I stutter but quite good academically Sometimes I understand things to greater depth but I can't explain them coherently, I use synonymous words or just near relative words to avoid blocks...my point...

Corrections safety officer. The job advertised said security patrol unit for a small town I live in. They told me I'd have to go live in brandon for a paid security guard training program and then L...

Yeah I hate following scripts. My old boss tried the same with me but I told her I follow her script but I'm gonna say it MY way. Because it's almost impossible to say what someones expecting me to sa...
