The company I work for has the word "State" in it, and the transition from anything st- always always causes me to block. I've been pronouncing it more like "Sate" and no one ever notices. Perhaps cha...

If it's impossible to beat how do you so many people who have beat t.

If it's impossible to beat how do you so many people who have beat t. By beat I mean gotten it to a point where it isn't significant and people don't give you weird looks. Here are some example from t...

I'm a senior engineer with a small staff and in charge of several projects. I work in remote locations so am always on the phone with our consultants and HR and head office. The phone sucks, email i...

I work in journalism and have for 5+ years now, at several community newspapers. No one interviewing me for a job has ever brought up my stutter, even when I did phone interviews and stuttered very ...

It's not cringy but will damage your professional life if you keep it up. One of the best things you can do as an employee is be a good communicator. Stuttering has nothing to do with this. That sai...

Something about one's own name just make it so difficult simply because it is such a an obvious thing to say! I rarely stutter, but about 90% of when I do it is while introducing myself. It is like ou...

Dang, that's rough. Sorry dude, but thanks for sharing; we can definitely commiserate. Reminds me of times when I block on my own name. Can't get a single sound out after "Hi, my name is ---" and I'v...

Yes. I still can't say "True Detective," which was a very frustrating thing in 2014. The "cashier / person at desk while people are behind you" thing is absolutely mortifying though. I always feel li...

Just sharing an awkward and awful experience.

Just sharing an awkward and awful experience. I have more of a block problem but I still stutter but it's definitely not as much as I block if that makes sense. Today I had to go into the store and as...

My stuttering is really strange. I have no problems giving a presentation or talking when I am *standing up or able to move freely.* This is because I use my hands to help my fluency. My stuttering co...

Almost punched a bus driver today......It's Stutterering related. I post on this sub because I almost got physical with a bus driver who was being an absolute dick and not giving me a transfer and the...

What makes us stutter?

What makes us stutter? Seriously, you ever think about it? Our brains are just wired so that something sets off this reaction where we just can't get the word out. But what's that thing? What causes t...

If stuttering is different for everyone, then Jimmy is not the most accurate depiction. I haven't heard anyone in my support group stutter like that. And South Park uses his stuttering for comedy, in ...

It never once cross my mind that Rick Stutters. It's more of a stammer than a stutter. The most accurate depiction of stuttering imo is South Park's Jimmy. I honestly don't mind. And the problem with...

Help with blocks of vowel sounds.

Help with blocks of vowel sounds. I've stuttered my whole life, and I've grown pretty well adjusted to it, as now I can speak effectively in conversations, with a few stutters here and there. Recently...

My hardest letter is probably E, and to my luck my name begins with E. Introducing myself has always been hell haha....

Ordering food. Introducing myself. My name starts with a M and I can't say Ms with out stuttering, and now my daughters name as well which starts with a B. Using the phone is the worse so any situatio...

Luckily not but the "Th" sound particularly in "Thank you" has been pretty hard for me the last several years. Seems to slowly fluctuate which sounds give me trouble. So many times, literally uncoun...

Not really. My letters I have problems with are short A's, H's, and the "Sh" sound. I actually use different greetings to avoid the H sound, which is the hardest for me to say. Instead of saying "h...
