I find it helps sometimes if I slip in a word before to make it come out smoother, so if "Thank you" isn't going to work I can say "Oh, thank you!" or sometimes even adding something at the end like "...

Yea I have trouble saying thank you. But for some reason I don’t have trouble saying “thank you I appreciate it” so I just say that or if all else fails I’ll do a thumbs up n a head nod....

I know its not what you asked for but you should'nt be avoiding words. It just makes them even more intimidating and stressful when you try to say them in the future. If people get frustrated or ann...

Alternative ways to say thank you

Alternative ways to say thank you I personally have a hard time saying th words like thank you. So I’m wondering if there are any alternatives to saying thank you. There are times that I tried to say ...

How many of you are cashiers

How many of you are cashiers I have been since I was 18 at various jobs. It has been hell at times. Curious to know your experiences !...

Good for you. Don't paint everyone in the same brush though. It feels good in concept but we're on the mercy of other people even if we decide to be shameless. Especially with severe stutter. I c...

I want the world now, damned be all Damned my heart, I'll do without I will sacrifice my heart For an iron tongue, fresh start To you, God, I cry out loud But you don't hear my wretched mouth; Why sho...

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and place...

I definitely agree with letting go of the expectation of fluency. I no longer get upset when my speech is a bit choppy. If anything, I only get upset when my emotions are so dysregulated that my speec...

Do not pretend you lack choice

Do not pretend you lack choice I went out with a friend a couple years ago. I opened up about my stutter. Along the conversation, I tell him I believed I would be great in sales if I didn't have a stu...

In my younger years, it was problem-solving. How can I do this presentation without so much speaking? What other methods are there? It made me talk to my teachers about the problems I was having. I wa...

I appreciate your take on it! Fluency is definitely a goal worth aiming for. It definitely was what was expected to be achieved in speech therapy when I was younger. But I think as I grow up, fluency ...

Maybe I am. But in general terms. I can´t think of someone in particular. Good grace meaning I like to be likeable. I want the other to think of me as a good fella. Thanks for the concept. Did not...

So true. But you have to fix those blocks. Sorry, not fix cause they'll almost always be there but, resolve them more spontaneously. I think if you talk a bit slower in your other languages, you will ...

It so hard in one language for a stutterer to think of different words and use them instead for the ones they stutter on, but in 3 languages??? I mean, I know two and I often replace English words wit...

Yes, this was also the case with me, though I did stutter in English as well, on the heavy words. I speak Urdu btw....

Same haha, i luckily found an english speaking job and so far they don't know i stutter even. Sometimes ill block but its so rare in English. In french or arabic ill stutter more often...

You get creative and enhance your vocabulary. Instead of saying something trivial the normal way (using common words and phrases), you come up with different words or an idiom to express the same thin...

I still stutter in other languages. This is actually one of the things that made it so hard to learn another language. In English (native), I’ll often swap out words if I have trouble saying them. W...

Man, I genuinely feel for both of you. Dealing with something like stuttering can indeed be incredibly taxing, especially when people around you aren't always understanding. I've struggled with anxiet...
