I feel you! In middle school I had this friend named cristian that became my best buddy of the time. I had issue with naming him so I just called him ristian lol...

Dropping the first letter of a word.

Dropping the first letter of a word. Lately, many words beginning with B result in a block, and especially words beginning with Br- and Bl-. Some people tell me that I just need to practice saying th...

I didn’t read the post only the title - just wanted to say, I took a speech class thing that I personally found worked for me and one of the things I learned to do was say name better and it legit has...

I think we all stutter on our names.. it's one of the very few words that you can't substitute another word for and it causes speaking stress and anxiety and almost guarantees a block. I've read A...

Had this happen one too many times lol. I usually say “Hello my name is ____” usually gives me time and I don’t think about the name as much. Another technique I use is to say my nickname, I know it’s...

Sometimes when I’m ordering at a restaurant or other places I will just use a fake name that is easier for me to say. Lol But what I do is before I introduce myself I tell everyone that I stutter so ...

It’s always the name. It’s the one thing we cannot find a workaround, lol. Stuttering is so insidious. ‘My name is .. ‘ helps for me, to give some runway. Or just say it with eye contact....

I couldn't disagree more. Speech isn't an autonomous function like breathing. Speech relies on breathing. Speech is learned. You isolate an infant and never expose them to language and there will be ...

That’s actually what happened to me at university - I was legitimately all alone and basically forced to introduce myself to everyone. I didn’t stutter, once after 2 months, for 2 full years. Also at ...

Yup. When I was 16-17 I’d be going out with friends all the time and almost never stuttered. I graduated early and went to a small college where no one talks to anyone else so I had no friends. As tim...
