Stuttering bad

Stuttering bad Hello all, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I would like some advice to stop stuttering (or stop stuttering so bad). Tbh, idk where to start. I've always been stuttering f...

Thanks for sharing. It's always interesting to read about these journeys. My stutter stems from a vicious dog attack when I was an infant, but I see it more as an alternative neural pathway for genera...

Need advice for my future

Need advice for my future I am at a really bad situation at my professional career and trying to make a decision about doing certifications and etc. While researching about the relevant certificatio...

Today I made an unplanned speech at a political rally and smashed it!

Today I made an unplanned speech at a political rally and smashed it! Today I was unexpectedly asked to speak at a protest on a subject I am very passionate about and it went so well! I hit all my ke...

Also rehearse your script a few times. I do not know what your stuttering style is, but avoiding words that make me "block" in my script helps massively. Know the content of your presentation well, su...

OP, what you are doing is what I have been doing since the days I could talk. Word substitution. I have an extreme form of stuttering. I am currently 47. I would verbally start to stutter and immediat...

Add some humor and through provoking pictures to your slides. That way you can cut the tension with some laughs and also push some questions on to the audience. So it’s a conversation and not just r...

Yeah I’ve found it’s best to wing it. You aren’t stressing about which words you’ll stutter on, you’re thinking about what words to say...

Some stutterers have NO social anxiety, a mild but random stutter. We have the burden of being very social and conversational and can pass as fluent…until that very surprising and upsetting time when ...

Don’t use a script brother, best advice for presentations is just to freeball it so you remove the pressure to follow the script when you need to avoid a certain sound....

If you have long silent blocks with eye contact avoidance and frequent word switching, you will struggle immensely to connect to customers. If you have repetitions that smoothly transition to your ne...

For me the advantage of the phone is that they can’t see me so I have more delay tricks that they can’t perceive. Closing eyes, nodding head a bit, making a fist, etc. Also, I can say “hm” or “ugh” ...

I speak slowly but my brain still moves frantically fast involuntarily, I assume in a similar fashion to the way op describes their involuntary fast speech. I use my fast stream of consciousness to ra...

It’s like I have to our more focus into my words or my action. It’s hard to do both. Thank for the replies everyone....

Great question and amazing answers on this thread. Adding a few more (some may be redundant): 1. Believe that you belong in the room AND bring value to share 2. Accept that YOU have the story to shar...

That makes sense, but that's also because a lot of people don't understand where the struggle exactly comes from. The struggle is often not from stuttering itself, but from trying not to stutter. That...

It’s so infuriating that folks seem unable to comprehend how much mental work goes into fluent speech when fluency isn’t natural. The on the go thinking and work required for fluent sounding speech in...

new language is nightmare

new language is nightmare I'm not native english speaker, but i'm around it for more than 5 years so far, i think i'm good at writing, but when it comes to verbal communication (which i can't avoid), ...

Hi, your experiences are very common. PWS are often much more fluent when alone. This was one of the first findings of stuttering research going back to the 1930's, and it has been confirmed in mul...

I think in your case, if you think it’s appropriate, would be to just stop speaking for a bit. Give yourself a chance to reset and dump whatever care you had about the last question/conversation and c...
