Does talking with your hands help you?

Does talking with your hands help you? I started working recently and my job requires me to be speaking constantly (I know yikes lmao), but what I noticed helps keeps my speech flowing and reduces stu...

Starting a new job tomorrow

Starting a new job tomorrow Tomorrow I start a new job where I'm a cashier at a shop in my local amusement park, I've only had one other job and it didn't have nearly as much talking, so I'm pretty ne...

I've been in sales 20 years, much of it over the phone, much of it talking to people I don't know or don't know well. The truth, for me, at least, is that I still stutter as much as I did before I sta...

One of the worst things, in my opinion, that a person who stutters can do is to try to stop stuttering. In my experience (43 years as a person who stutters), the times I have tried to control my speec...

Thats the irony , to be more fluent , you have to stop wanting to be fluent (esp for stutterers, i dont think non stutterers even give a single thought about their fluency )...

By trying to get more fluent you might have unconsciously started fighting against your stuttering. That leads to more blocking and thus a worse stutter....

I understand I avoid the phone/radios/walkie-talkies at all cost no matter how much money/promotion was being offered. When I did try everyone would laugh and basically go ”there's *****”. I would l...

It will only bother others if you let it bother you. People don't care about your speech nearly as much as you think....

When I am in a room by my self I feel that there is less pressure and I feel more at ease. I think the main thing that makes me stutter more is the fear of judgement. I work in an office doing reports...

I understand where you're coming from. I'm kinda the same way, especially around meeting new people. I don't know how serious your stutter is, mine has its bad days and good days. I was lucky that my ...

I worked at a fast food restaurant (White Castle) during high school and college. Mostly on the drive thru. Yes, the drive thru! The people i was working with thought it was funny to put the stutterer...

I was both a cashier at a starbucks and security officer for my last 2 years of college. Rarely talked that much as an officer just told people to leave and I was on my own from 6pm-12pm. At the starb...

My stuttering came back 1 year ago and it's getting worse day by day, I don't know what to do...

My stuttering came back 1 year ago and it's getting worse day by day, I don't know what to do... Hi. First of all, this is my first post here and I'm sorry if a topic like that has been discussed befo...

That sounds awful. I’m sorry your therapist was so terrible. I had a traumatic experience when I was in the seventh grade- I went to a catholic school and for mass I was one of the students picked to ...

I personally just tell them I have a condition and try to educate them on the subject. In most cases they get embarrassed or don't care about what I'm explaining as their whole "joke" backfired. I d...

As a pilot, there came a point early on in my training when I had to start learning how to properly talk on the airplane radios during flights. The school's syllabus normally had students begin making...

I took a job at a theme park so I wouldn’t be so shy. Needless to say by the end of the season I was talking to guest doing that welcome greeting and safety talk. I gotta say though I still hate order...

I went to happy hour with go workers, some of which I never met. Introductions and small talk can be a challenge, but I got through it....

Love this thread already! Over my life, I've completely shaped my lifestyle around not having to speak to people. Recently I accepted that this was a huge problem, not only with my speech, but also m...

I mean like I acknowledged it out loud that I stutter. People noticed, but everyone has been too polite to say anything (as a working adult). I was made fun of all the time as a kid and in HS....
