Simply acknowledge that you have a stutter. Do not try to hide it because that's stress, and stress is unnecessary and unsustainable. I've been there and done what you're doing a few years ago. Tell y...
Can anyone help me on this topic?
Can anyone help me on this topic? I'm 17M and a mild stutterer. My stutter like many varies from situation to situation. When I'm talking with my parents or friends its pretty less but when I talk to ...
If you stutter you can overcome it. I was able to overcome almost fully. It's a change of mindset. LMK and I'll tell you my method. It's very simple...
I try really hard to have excellent diction and speak clearly at a modest pace, because although I’m fluent a lot of the time I just KNOW that I will stutter intensely if I have to repeat myself....
I genuinely hate ordering in noisy restaurants, like Chipotle. It makes my stuttering a million times worse. I much prefer quieter, larger restaurants for ordering. if all else fails I just order some...
Yeah but I don't know if I even have a stutter in the first place, it's really weird. I don't block. Like I do get this feeling 'Oh no if I say this word I'll stutter on it', but when I sometimes find...
I'm not a professional, just a fellow stutterer(mild) but I know I stutter, even though others might not be aware of it because I'm secretly substituting words and sensing upcoming blocks. You consid...
On a first date, we were sitting on a park bench and didn't speak for a couple minutes. She turned to me and asked "Are you always like this?". It bothered me but I pushed through. Now we've been marr...
Agreed, best to be open. I have to call a lot of doctors at my job, and when there's several seconds of dead air on the phone they get impatient. Just a quick casual, "excuse me, I have a speech imped...
I'd probably be prepared to inform the doctors you have a stutter and it has nothing to do with some sort of lack of knowledge about the diseases. If you can't hide it, might as well make sure it isn'...
This is my attempt to extract important information from the video: * disfluencies and stuttering-like disfluencies are completely different * as a parent, make space for the child to talk. Because s...
I began stuttering at the age of three when my grandma commenced to teach me to use my right hand for writing (it was common practice in post Soviet countries). I remember I was angry with this and th...
I am a native english speaker but my family speaks Spanish (I am not fluent but can speak some and understand a lot). I stutter way more in Spanish, possibly because in English I rely on substitutions...
They didn’t thank God but I’m a pretty good actress lol she shouldn’t have called on me though… I was in the back with my hoodie up…classic sign for “I don’t wanna be involved”...
Omggg yes!!!!!! I was at a class at work and they called on me and I started blocking so I acted like I was choking and walked out 😞...
Well it is different if you say "H-hi there" or if you say "(literally nothing)". I read somewhere that a man who lives in a 3rd world country and hardly survive has a similar level of overall stress...
Honestly, just practice. I remember 2 years ago, I had my first phone screening interview and I was so nervous. I stuttered basically the entire time and I was so embarrassed. I could barely say a com...
Great advice, thank you! I just felt embarrassed because of my stutter and how noticeable it was during presentations. I find that if I know the speech quite well and just talk (rather than read from ...
No I hardly say what I want. It makes it very hard to work when there are things I need to say. When buying food I usually cave and order something I don’t ideally want when I order, and with friends ...
Most people I speak with don't know that I stutter but that's because I will substitute words when I feel a block, or not say what I want to say (lots of different techniques I've learned) but I do st...
