Not great, I was introduced to three new people, and couldn't say my name to any of them, one guy thought I said Kelly, I just went with it, I figure I'll never see them again. It's kind of depressing...

Trouble Speaking

Trouble Speaking Hello, I would like to get some insight/suggestions on how to conquer my stuttering, I figure I start on Reddit. I've always been the talkative kind, especially in high school and had...

Good luck. I can say my first name, but not my last (without considerable difficulty), and it's a very difficult name to pronounce so everybody always asks me to say it for them. Needless to say, this...

Very interesting, I just found this sub and this is almost my exact experience. When I was a kid I would get blocked allllll the time. One of my teachers would call on me to read in class constantly (...

It changes as I go on and become more confident with myself, but letters that I struggle with are, d, j and w. ...

Ah, okay. I have a tendency to do better when I have to "perform" for something. But I think I just had a mispronunciation in there that I couldn't seem to say right. But I think it's better for all i...

I am bilingual, have native level proficiency in both languages. But I do stutter across all languages....

I can't really come up with an explanation, but for me it's a lot easier to talk on the telephone with friends than with strangers. But I think that doesn't neccessarily have to do with the fact that ...

Yeah, this is what I always figured. When you're face to face with someone and experiencing a block of some sort, they have visual cues and realize this. They wait. When I'm on the phone, the other pe...

I've always thought it's because you lose all the nonverbal cues that come along with in-person conversations. Like /u/middletwin said, if you have a big pause, the person on the other end can't see w...

I have talked with some fellow stutterers and we came up with a few ideas. One thing might be that when talking in person and you have a block (or what have you) the other person can see what is happe...

Start of sentence stuttering issue.

Start of sentence stuttering issue. For some odd reason, whenever I'm trying to reply to someone or open with a question it's incredibly hard for me to get it out of my mouth and I end up stuttering a...

I am much, much better in my native language than I am in English. Though, it might have something to do that I generally don't practice talking in English a lot....

I speak English and Chinese. I stutter more in Chinese, my second language. I feel like my stutter got better when I worked on a second language because I was working on speaking out loud. ...

I have decent control over my stutter in English, but when I try to speak Spanish, I have little to no control. Not true for me. ...

I had a coworker tell me he identified with me because he is a stutterer too... I said, "really? I have never heard you stutter once!" He said "oh, I don't stutter in English but in my native language...

English is my native language, and I speak Spanish and Arabic. I don't stutter on my foreign languages. Thankfully. Pretty bad with English though....

Nope, I don't believe this. I learned Spanish in middle school and high school and stuttered about equally in both Spanish and my native English. My stuttering didn't change as a result of it. Interes...

Not true. I speak German and Japanese. I stutter as much or more on foreign languages, especially early on. I tried Arabic, but the glottal stops were too much...

Sorry for bringing up an older post. But, I'm surprised the letter "T" doesn't give anyone a hard time. Letter T is the worst for me. Especially if the sentence starts with it. ...
