The past couple years I've been afraid to open my mouth in public, with friends or even with family. I just diddnt want people to know that I stuttered. People always mistake me for being a shy kid wh...

I made a throwaway to post this.

I made a throwaway to post this. *this is a draft for a personal statement I was going to submit for uni applications, but I dont think I'll use this one. I dont know why, but I felt compelled to shar...

But be careful, i use the 'humm' and i found myself in a cycle with it, like the only thing it cames out of my mouth is 'humm'....

Use a lot of uhh and umm, it'll help you in the long run. Also, take long pauses so you don't have to talk much...

So I speak mostly fluently now but it takes me so much effort that I keep dreaming of not talking at all :-) Is it a progress??...

I find face to face way easier. It's a lot harder for people to cut me off and talk over me when I'm right in front of them...

I’m more self conscious about the weird faces I make while stuttering than the stuttering itself, hence my preference of the drive through....

I have my own opinions on stretching but definitely do not do the humming thing. You're introducing more unnatural junk behaviors into your speech that might work at first and then fail other times. T...

I'm also in leadership at a tech company. I agree that small talk is painful but I work remote so I get out of doing most of that. I also lead a group of developers who do not like to engage in any fo...

I'm late 30s, entrenched in the corporate world, have been promoted multiple times despite my stutter. I, too, stutter most in front of my managers, but not nearly as much as I used to. I think the s...

It helped me, too. When I'm silently whispering/articulating the words to myself before speaking, I speak more fluently (of course that works better when e.g. you're using the phone because in a real ...

Brilliant man, keep going! You’ll find that the more you push out of your comfort zones, the fear will lessen and your speech will improve!...
