I’m a water engineer and present to clients nearly every day! It’s not easy but it does get better. Just keep going and don’t shy away from doing it. It’s the best way to get desensitized imo....

I joined the air force last year and I dreaded saying reporting statements. I usually tried to stay quiet or say reporting statements when a lot of trainees weren’t around. Some trainees in my flight ...

Wanted to add that there is a saying, "You miss every shot you don't take." It took me a long time to realise I was missing out on a lot by being trapped in fear and self-doubt. I am far from perfect...

I know this is an old post but I just came across it while searching for yips in this subreddit. At least for me the answer is a resounding YES. When alone in a room, I am fluent and have no speech bl...

Yeah, I work at my local government/public hospital, since I'm new I get to work at different areas before settling in at the one I want; I just got done working at the outside pharmacy, where patient...

Jobs that Work with Customers (Cashier, etc)

Jobs that Work with Customers (Cashier, etc) Hey guys, I recently started a job as a cashier, and I stuttered a lot while speaking to customers on my first day. I wanted to ask if anyone works in simi...

I read it and followed the treatment plan extensively for at least 8 months. Stopped because it didn't work. Plus, when I read in the book that "this includes free consultation with a neurologist/spe...

I may be late to your post but this is so relatable, I literally was told “why aren’t you doing as you’re told” by a nurse like I CAN SEE WHATS ON THE VISION TEST I just can’t see the letter but peopl...

If I really try, I dont stutter but lots of sentences I cant just say smoothly without having a few stutters....

That's the cathc. I read in Lee lovett's book that you need to keep hearing yourself fluently to make it a habit in your brain that you speak fluently. The more you block and you hear, your brain take...

It's ok, mate, shit happens sometimes. You'll get over this and in a short time that presentation will be but a memory. I know how you feel, I've been there too. Once I had to do a short presentatio...

I just had the worst presentation in my life

I just had the worst presentation in my life It was an over 20 minute long presenation. Days before my presentation date I told my teacher about my social anxiety and that I have a terrible stutter ...

If you don't want to let this bother you I'd say just let the teachers know you have this problem that makes it hard to say stuff fast, just let them know to see your hand when you raise it to mark yo...

I just learned to live with it. I tried speech therapy, and I couldnt buy into it. I did not want to change how I spoke, and take breaths before talking making me look like a weirdo.  My stutter gets...

If you surely don’t wanna stutter through it then I’d recommend telling the teacher before hand or sitting close to the teacher...

I sure hope things have changed. Just letting it fly got me ridiculed throughout the five years of highschool (Australian). My advice is, if nothing has changed, to tell the teacher beforehand to work...

Yup. Almost every interaction, even if it’s with friends and family or a stranger, is all mentally and physically draining. I’m constantly trying to avoid stuttering and thinking of substitute words t...

Say it to yourself with a low voice first (if you dont stutter when talking to yourself) and then pretend u are still saying it to yourself just in a higher voice...

This is spot on, very insightful post. In my experience, words starting with my block letters are easier to say when I am reading them off rapid-fire from a prompt. For example, reading out loud to an...

When I used to do that in Pakistan honestly it was a the worst however I got through by mostly breathing exercises and every day I would change up the words. For example, “present miss/sir” or “here m...
