Hello. I also have a huge problem talking on a phone. I have taken to changing my voice kind of while speaking on the phone. It probably sounds ridiculous but it works for me. Im from long island and ...

I have a different experience with weed. I used to smoke quite a bit but it never made much difference to my stutter. I stopped a while back because it started giving me anxiety and my speech suffered...

Well acting "as if" makes me fluent or at least more fluent even when I'm sober. Acting as if I was relaxed instead of nervous, confident instead of insecure. Just bringing out that part of me that n...

Do you visualize words before speaking them?

Do you visualize words before speaking them? I've realized that I visualize words in my mind before speaking. Especially difficult words that I block on. This does not occur when I am fluent. I feel l...

Chances are, they never will. Depending on who they are, you should just say something along the lines of "I'm glad your alright now, I'm still hanging in there" and move on with your life. They won...

Being held back. I love chatting via text because I can cleanly convey my thoughts, humour and whatever it is I want to say. In person, I avoid many of the chances for conversation or input during a c...

First impressions. I loathe that moment when my classmates or a girl hear me speak for the first time and take me for a fool due to my manner of speaking. For most people, their manner of speaking bet...

Yeah, I try to battle through if I can, but some days restructuring a sentence is the only way (otherwise I know I'd just get stuck on the dreaded word forever!) It often feels like a coin toss of wha...

That's a good one. I hate that too. I used to get that a lot in middle school. I decided not to talk at all since I had such a bad stutter, not so much now since I talk freely....

Sometimes when I'm feeling more courageous I'll try and battle through haha. Otherwise I'd avoid I guess , which I don't like to do. ...

The "Why are you so silent all the time?" for me is frustrating . Or at least it was before , now I just disclose that I have a stutter but before I was really insecure about my stutter...

Thanks for sharing ;) Do you find you try to avoid these words or battle through? I know I'll navigate around a whole sentence to avoid my 'feared' words sometimes, but other times they're completely ...

How do you think speech occurs? Are you conciously focused on trying to move your mouth and tounge when you talk to articulate more? Because I have found out like many others that speech is a natural...

Contrary to popular belief, first impressions don't mean that much.

Contrary to popular belief, first impressions don't mean that much. I'm sure a lot of us have heard "You have to make a good first impression!" So when you meet new people you try really hard not to ...

Hey! I'm from the UK (pending) too! Honestly the best thing I've found is to just let go of your pride. You're gonna stammer either way. Get angry, get red in the face. For me, it flows once I've laug...

Hey man, I feel you a lot. In no way am I trying to minimize what you're going through because I mirror a lot the sentiments you expressed- especially feeling like a shadow of my true self. Communicat...

I'd rather sound like a human with emotions and personality stuttering than a robot because im afraid to stutter. People don't want to stutter because it's weird but don't mind robot talking because i...

The weird thing is I'm generally OK with telling people I have a stutter, I'm just terrified or ashamed or some shit of actually stuttering in front of people. Most the time when I tell people they in...

Is that because you don't want people to know you stutter?...

Yup, very frustrating indeed. I hate that I have to suppress my personality and myself as a person. Feels like some shitty version of my life not being able to express myself and put myself out there ...
