I'd be interested in knowing any statistics on the matter. Do you know of any? To me, the idea that stuttering is caused by nerves is a myth and misconception about what stuttering is. Many non-stu...

All of them haha. Depending on the day, it's a different sound that gets me. 'S' & 'F' seem to be the most consistently problematic though....

> It seems like the thing that all these words have in common is that you have to quickly bend your tongue back to make the "er" sound which I'm not able to do quickly or smoothly enough so I get t...

yeah man I "stutter" is also one of the words I can't say without preparation but it doesn't really affect me since I never talk about it haha. Sometimes I try to replace "other" with "on the flip-sid...

"other" is the bane of my existence. i'm a social sciences student and the concept comes up pretty often. i can't even find a word to substitute for it so a lot of the times i just keep quiet instead ...

What words do you have trouble with?

What words do you have trouble with? There are a few words off the top of my head that I simply cannot say without blocking 90% of the time. I can read fluently, but most of these words trip me up EVE...

Data analyst. I'm on the phone with clients several times a week. Most the time they just think it's a bad connection and ask me to repeat myself. My speech really had little to no impact on my job. I...

Bartender. Im supposed to introduce myself but I rarely do. I'm confident behind my bar so my general speech is ok, more fluent than anywhere else in my life. But when people ask me questions is reall...

The "Word Swap" Stutter

The "Word Swap" Stutter First time posting here. Does anyone ever have that stutter where you can't say a certain word or syllable but if you can find a synonym for the word you can pronounce it fine...

Web developer. I've worked from home for 11 years. I'm on the phone maybe 30 to 120 minutes each week, and it's usually with coworkers that I know well. I still do calls with clients, and that not a ...

I was thinking just normal phone call. Like I said I have unlimited minutes so I wouldn't mind initiating the call. ...

>it's just taken so lightly by the GP How so? Why are they even involved? Which words are easy for you to say? Like, speech, speak, talk, voice, word, language......

Another word for stuttering?

Another word for stuttering? I don't know, I just really hate saying stuttering or stutter. For one, I usually block on it, which is horrible, and for two, it's just taken so lightly by the GP. Like, ...

My name is the worst. I don't think I've said it without being blocked for 10 years. I can't introduce myself, place pickup orders at restaurants, it's so frustrating...

I don't know if she wants you to video call or just voice call, but video call would be better for both of you since she can see you stuttering. The issue I run into sometimes when talking someone wit...

Same here, hard D sound is rough on me. Example saying Disks or Drives. I seem to try to hit it hard then get stuck....

Definitely. Its a blessing and a curse, at least for me anyway. Doing this creates immense levels of anxiety when having to introduce myself to people because I *know* I can't trick my brain and pick ...

Saying my name is difficult for me as well. It used to bother me a ton but now I just focus on not letting it make me feel like shit if I stutter on it. A little technique I use is asking the question...

I think it's so interesting how for people who stutter, one of the most difficult things for us to say is our name. This should say a lot and I feel is worth reflecting on. In addition to this, examin...

I think its actually the "r" sound its hard for me to spit that sounds out everytime people ask me my name im on the spot and think about it...
