Self reflection, knowing your stuttering and what techniques you’re using/not using is a crucial step towards familiarizing yourself with your own stutter. Cheers to you OP for sharing. Edited bec...

I think most people have difficulty connecting words and thoughts together fluidly. This is why not everybody is a talented speaker, like Oprah for example. It takes skill. For stutterers, our patte...

I have this problem and I think it's from my ADHD-PI (predominately inattentive). I'm trying to focus on stuttering less while also trying to focus on my story and it just overloads my train of though...

Confused

Confused I have noticed something. Whenever I speak with tricks and avoidance of words, most of the time I'm fluent. Few months ago I started reading books about stuttering, and read all the stuff abo...

Hello there, I've also been looking to do this. I'm 24 years old, medical student with a lifelong stutter....

Upcoming intro/presentation

Upcoming intro/presentation Hi everyone. I have a stressful week ahead, with two full days of meetings where I will be on point for a lot of it. These meetings might have up to 30 people in them, an...

Note: Imagined words may be deceiving in their appearance. They aren't performed, so you don't know if they would actually manifest in the desired fashion. Or in short, speech doesn't amount to "form...

great post... However it reminds me of the future fear that I will endure.. Im a graphic designer and stutter too!! I am going through interviews at the moment and it hasn't made things any smoother....

You hit the nail on the head on this one. I’m so used to finding synonyms for words I‘m about to block on that once I get to something like my name, in which there’s no substitute, is when I freeze up...

This is such a great story for me to read. I recently slightly changed career paths (was working for an ad agency but pivoted to work on the ad sales side). This requires me to present to big ad agenc...

A story about a story I heard about a "mind blowing" stutterer... So, I study graphic design at university and some of us got the chance to go to a well renowned design firm and hear professionals tal...

Thanks, I was kind of hesitant to put it up because I wasn't sure if it'd help at all. My story is 100% true. I can't tell you how many times a day I STILL avoid social interaction, and substitute wo...

What's a Discord? I find that too. It gives me less time to over think sounds and words I stumble over ...

Names for me are definitely the worst yeah. My manager's name is Andrew so I struggle with that. As well as substitute words I'd say the main thing I do is to say 2 words as if it was one word. For...

I think we (stutterers/blockers) pre meditate our speech too much and then get stressed about it which causes the stutter or block. Of course not everyone's the same but in my experience that is what ...

I have a similar situation , it's like I have to rehearse my phrases before I walk up to a grocery store/food joint so that I don't mess up my order. What really sucks is when -as you mentioned in the...

Applying to jobs sucks ass. CS tech interviews sucks. Talking to profs can be hard. The mental gymnastics of speaking fluently takes a while to learn. A grad student clinician I worked with said jus...

A few things to note: 1. Can you take these calls in a private room? The anxiety of what others in the room think of you may be a part of it. 2. Change in jobs and life situation has always brough...

I rerecord so many clips because of my stutter. It kills me every time I fuck up and have to restart. Mentally taxing...

That's not how it works. You're trying to control something that is a part of you and you can't control it. It would be like someone with twitch actively trying to control it. The more harder you try ...
