Everyone will have their own thoughts on those two questions, but for me; 1. No. I would avoid acknowledging the stutter at all. I have a stutter but it was really bad as a child but as I grew older ...

Same. I never used to stutter when I'm alone but off late, I don't get enough practice talking to people unlike before. So, the only talking I ever do is stuttering the few times I talk to people, an...

Oh. My. God. Reading parts of a text from a book is my biggest fear. I'm able to speak quite well face to face (with only one other person) but reading something from a book or flyer etc. still comple...

This is one of the most relatable aspects of stuttering, the seemingly random variability and the frustration that comes with that. I certainly notice an increase in my stuttering frequency when I’m s...

A "coward" is not something you "are" imo, social akwardness is part of the stuttering package, but its mostly just a vicious cycle that makes your stutter worse > makes you more anxious to speak &...

Thanks for the reply! I’m working on not hiding my stutter, cause when I let it be it feels so freeing. I just can’t stay ahold of that confidence and end up going back to hiding it...

I’d say take the job. Many / most jobs are given out because ‘somebody knows somebody.’ It’s largely the way the world works — relationships. Having a stutter you’re going to have to learn how to de...

It's difficult but you have to bristle up to that if it does happen. I too knit up future scenarios so I know what kind of bs to expect. This can turn into a chip on your shoulder and can limit you ...

This is true, because I’ve gone a year without stuttering when I simply.. forgot that I’m a stutterer. It came back when people started complimenting me/ reminding me of my former speech impediment. O...

This is a better scenario than you make it out to be. At least in this environment people still respect your last name and maybe, because of that, they might be less willing to go full ham on you. It’...

I met my wife on tinder 10 years ago! Online dating really broke the ice. I had such a hard time in college and after. Also, just accept your stutter, lean into it, be yourself. You gotta deal with th...

Thanks! I’m normally pretty passive and try to hide my stutter around people. But I’ve noticed that causes ore anxiety and makes it harder for me to communicate. When I get a new job I’m gonna try my ...

Just because I am not stuttering in this video in which I recorded of myself -alone-, does not mean that I am not a person with a stutter. As a stutterer, you should know that many of us talk fluently...

This needs to be studied. I'm 100% fluent when I talk alone or practice my speech, that's how I know my stutter is stress and anxiety induced...

Hey! I'm on a PC now, so I have a better way of explaining what I meant. I can't stand explaining things through my phone's keyboard. Sorry if this is going to get a bit long. I can get quite pass...

Talking to ourself is a low stress activity where we dont hit our stuttering threshold. I'm a very severe stutterer but fluent when talking to myself....

I think it's part anxiety, part learned behavior. Your brain has leaned over time to speak fluently in private , but in public "I'm a stutterer". I know which words I'll block on, but when I'm not act...

"... not from a jedi." Lol. Seriously, though, yes. Anxiety is just a voice in your head tricking you into believing a lot of unhelpful u happy stuff. Anxiety tricks you into believing that somethin...

we're just starting out, but you are free to join in, although much of the activity will be lawyers specific, i'd say much of the advice/help would apply to any corporate environment...

Anxiety or overthinking can do lots of weird things. A lot of people report lessening or even overcoming their stutter after overcoming their fear of speaking - their fear of stuttering. Im the sa...
