I’m a trainer at a gym (not personal, more like a group thing), it can be tough and there’s pressure to get the words out faster since there’s a timed aspect to the workout. Most don’t care and will...

I have and the speech therapist basically told me my stutter wasn't as bad as others might be, but again I achieved this fluency in what was essentially a controlled environment. It was 5 one on one s...

This was a good response. I think the problem that some of us have with acceptance is that sure, we accept that we stutter, but stuttering makes us feel useless (at least that's how it is for me). I ...

Worst Speech rehearsal.

Worst Speech rehearsal. Last year I accepted an opportunity to give a speech. I was so excited. I was riding a wave of spontaneous fluency that I thought would last forever. I wrote my speech and have...

Booking a trip

Booking a trip Soo recently me and my friend booked a trip to Europe for a month, and the booking process was absolutely hell for me. My friend soo carelessly gave them all his information without any...

This is one of those things that I really try to not do but I'll sometimes site back and rub my head or rub my chin. ​ All about attempting to distract the person your talking to from wh...

I don’t know who I am. To study about myself, I wrote almost all of my experiences to know about myself. What I realized is that the behavior that I did when I was 13 was totally same to the behavior ...

Border guards speak with people every day and as some people find this intimidating, they tend to stutter. Border guards also interact with people who don't speak English or French at all, so verbal ...

I've always used substitute words where possible. And a variety of tics and tricks when it's unavoidable. But, sad to say, sometimes I've just avoided the situation entirely. ("God would look at tha...

My mother stuttered as a child. She says she still does but I've never heard it. She was always worried about my stuttering, but never brought it up. As a fellow covert stutterer I think she knew I'd ...

Cruelly, devastatingly ironic. I'm a covert stutterer but the last few years I've tried being more open about it. My goal is to be able to be open about it in a boardroom - but telling people I'm a...

But whenever they ask me to hangout with them , watch a movie , I usually tell them that I'm busy studying or something . Sometimes I think they are still friends with me because they fell bad about m...

Push yourself my friend. I was pretty weak and depressed at your age. I had an epiphany that nothing matters if my heart is still beating. Threw myself into the fire when a journalism opportunity came...

I touch my face too, I tend to cover my mouth out of politeness due to my mouth being open dieting my hesitations...

Got the job, but I'm now terrified.

Got the job, but I'm now terrified. Hi guys! Been lurking here for quite some time, and I must say thank you. You've given me courage to try speech therapy again, and also to get me to go to intervie...

Can you feel your hard blocks in your mind? I've always been able to; a hard block is like a knot in my mind and the harder i try to force it the tighter the knot gets. The best single tip i ever g...

I would love to give you an easy way out, but unfortunately there isn't. I'm from Italy [M 23], and i too have a not severe stutter, that i always hide with quick word swaps, pauses and accurately p...

Hey bro, I related to a lot of what you just said. Although I feel like advertising it to people I come across that I stutter takes some anxiety away, Im always worried that I might change the way the...

Hi Pansyhunter. Your story resonates well with me. I used to be a very talented covert stutterer in high school (I was the king of word substitution). But in college, I have had to regularly introduce...

I really hAte talking about anything other than surface-level feelings with anyone but my mom (sometimes). So I don't. Well actually, I'm starting to a bit more, but only with my closest friends. For ...
