I wrote a long comment here and lost it. Fuck. Best part was that sometimes people on the phone think my getting stuck is a sneeze. I'm trying to figure out how to shape a block so it sounds like a sn...

It's just a case of avoidance as much as possible, if I go out for a meal I choose places with app ordering, I don't speak much at all, even to family.....

I'm a medical student. Propranolol is for mild cases and stage/performance anxiety. You seem to need more than that. So you can utilize SSRI's or SNRI's after discussing the issue with your psychiatri...

Good points but it is the complete opposite for me, the more I try to 'cure' it, the worse it becomes. When I don't try to not stutter or hide it, it is getting better....

Nah bro. I get it. Struggling to say your name, having to introduce yourself in class on the first day of college classes, not being able to have a simple conversation with your parents or others, peo...

Ask places if they’re hiring and what the process is, ask for a specific product or service they offer, ask for the persons name you’re speaking to on the phone. Or just call and be honest “hey i have...

I have “cured” my stutter several times in my life by doing all sorts of things (e.g. diets, herbs, medications). However, the long-term results have always been a reemergence of the stutter, often ap...

This may sound a bit cruel, but I sometimes look at these interactions as playing a video game and talking with an NPC. They say their lines, I responded as needed. If I want to make small talk, I'll ...

I think it’s good to mention it before the interview starts. In my experience with college and life after college, professional people like the transparency and will definitely ease the pressure you f...

Yes this! I find what helps is disclosing my stammer before hand. Explain to them that yes although it may take you longer to get things out you’re still capable....

I typically use my nick name because it’s easier to say. I have muscle tension dysphonia with minor stuttering. I’m always being asked to repeat myself which triggers it even more :(...

While my stutter isn’t very severe I have found that stretching the word out while slowing the pronunciation down, and saying it “forcefully”. Just like you are doing helps me a lot. Slowing down my...

Everything you do for the purpose of trying to not stutter only reinforces the fear and adds more unnatural junk to your speech. What I do is try my best to not pressure myself and let it come out as...

With hard to say words, do you exaggerate or say them softly?

With hard to say words, do you exaggerate or say them softly? I probably need to stretch out and open my mouth bigger when I speak in general. I am quite self conscious of my mouth when I speak causin...

i spent ~2 decades trying to find tricks, methods, drinking alcohol or caffeine, assigning or attributing blame, etc, etc, on what to do or how to handle a stutter. All with varying degrees of success...

I rescently changed my name and i dont stutter when saying the new name. I used to stutter when saying the old name. That means ones name is the problem. That is not really a solution lol...

That sucks. Did you mention your stutter? I remember I lost marks for using umms and ahhs too much from the same teacher who let me present privately. I wish I mentioned that that was my way to help m...

This ^ was a lifesaver throughout middle and high school. The teachers will work with you to get that grade...

What I did in high school was tell my teacher prior to class that I have a stutter and don’t feel comfortable speaking in front of the class and asked if I could present my work to her privately after...

Trying not to think about the words I have trouble with. A lot of the time knowing I have a problem with the word Burrito, makes it a lot harder to fucking order some delicious food....
