Maybe it's because I'm a female, and we're conditioned to let things go, but I've always laughed it off in these situations and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Then I go cry about it at home. However...

Stuttering limiting my voice

Stuttering limiting my voice I’ve been stuttering all my life, but I feel like these past couple of years have gotten a bit better. Something that always bothered me, is that I have to limit my gramma...

I know what you mean!! If I try practicing talking yo myself, I don’t stutter at all. But if I’m around people and tell my self “I’m gonna talk right now without stuttering” it usually fails horribly....

As a stuttering salesman you’re 100% right. It’s so damn hard but you just gotta let go and stop caring. I’ll stutter my way through a five minute cold call and still close the deal. And if I don’t? W...

Technically, blocking is considered a type of stutter. Your situation sounds very similar to me. I don't stutter that much either, but sometimes I will anticipate a block. It will either take me a w...

I always applied for jobs where I don’t need to talk too much because of my stutter. Construction, cleaning, forklift operator, wearhouse. One day I said to myself, I love airplanes and airports, I wa...

Our stories are quite similar. I'm 30 right now, though, and found the perfect woman for me 6 years ago, and we have our first child together since a year ago. If I could give you advice, or to my yo...

I spell out my name first and I find it easier to say the word after. Idk what it is about it but it helps....

OK, looks like we are both adult people who stutter. You, as an adult, maybe no longer have fear of speaking. I don't either anymore, but when I was a teen, I had the fear of speaking because I stut...

These things are the only reason I still haven't over with all of this. I drown into video games, masturbate and consume caffeine after another shameful day. And you know, by tonight, I almost believe...

Same... One day, when you feel motivated, you can try ordering diet coke:) Of course you don't have to do it, but small successes make happy...

Awesome :) I always order Coke Zero, rather than Diet Coke, cuz I block on 'Diet'....

How can you stop doing the things we are bad at, we can't live without talking haha. Your point would make sense if it was something we could avoid, I'm dyslexic, and I agree with you, I don't even th...

First of all, I never said they were pretending. And I said it sucks. So I am not invalidating their struggles. Also, my advice is not to be invalidated by saying "simple". It is honestly that simple....

I once asked for a coconut late and got a cold coconut late. You figure out why. Well done, I personally find ordering coffee stressful af, LATTE seems an almost impossible word...

Not necessary try harder - but smarter. Focus on what you're good at instead of trying to do what you unfortunately are not naturally better than others...

No inconsistency. All the rejections are your own fault - simply understand what are you good at and focus in that. I wouldn't apply for a Spanish interpreter job if I can't even speak Spanish....

Fwiw, something I’ve done recently is that I allude to it in my writing sample. Gets the point across without creating an awkward moment in the interview....

videos of yourself stuttering

videos of yourself stuttering my bad if this has already been asked here, but how you y’all feel about having/watching videos of yourself stuttering? i personally like having them on hand since i some...

To me it is a monster, because the stuttering affliction destroyed much of my life. I would have loved to have become a music teacher/band director as that is my passion, but I couldn't. It affected...
