Honestly, for me, answering the phone the same way over and over made it easier. I had a "phone voice" which helped it come out smoothly....

I’ve had this problem before a couple times, it’s always a written script that catches you off guard. What I did was change a word or two to their synonym or try speak a bit faster so you don’t have t...

I don’t stutter when asking people out but once I talk with one coworker I stutter so much I shut my mouth until the shift is over...

I've had a stutter for a long time, but can usually avoid it if I can calm myself or if I literally don't care about the situation. I found out in college that if I smoked weed I didn't stutter... Pro...

Not really, it sucks ass and I hate it. For some, probably. I have found ways around it, so for me personally, no....

Adopt the mindset of “if I was born with a stutter, then you have to listen to it”. Practice helps also. Speaking is just like anything else and if you don’t use it, you lose it. Try to read out-loud ...

You sound like me when I was in Highschool. If I had the balls to do it, I would have taken my own life. Glad I didn’t because life did get better and now I’m married and things are pretty chill. I ...

If you have recently started stuttering then the best thing is to FORGET about it and move on. The more you discuss the more it gets into your head....

People who say "spit it out" often don't realize you stutter. They're used to fluent speech and can be impatient. It's rude and inconsiderate. Once informed, they usually stop. It's happened to me bef...

Background noise serves a distraction or masking noise for me...so I stutter less in background noise--I just wish background noise was loud enough to drown out the sound of my own voice!!!...

Thank you for replying, I thought I was going crazy!! My entire life that I was in school I would always have conversations with my teachers and professors about my stutter and how I felt about speaki...

Pun intended, but I practice elevator speeches. Quick, concise, impactful blurbs. Sometimes when I block, I ramble as I look for functioning synonyms....

The resilience often goes unspoken, so yes. But complete peace depends on the trajectory one has set for themselves. If you aspire to be a captivating public speaker, for example, the very goal cannot...

Ok here’s a twist. Do not put your speech impediment on your resume. You’re already giving the company a reason to not hire you. Communication is probably the most essential thing in a lot of jobs. I ...

You're not overthinking at all! I understand you perfectly and it's something that frustrates me a lot too. It happens to me frequently. When they do that, it's like they're invalidating a huge porti...
