Really don’t know if you can deaden yourself to not feel when people laugh at you for a condition you can’t really control. It sounds like you can mask your speech? I’ve never heard of someone saying ...

Yeah, I remember all those same triggers. Reading for the class, Asking questions in a seminar, and Talking while someone gives u their undivided attention was the worst. Keeping doing though. If u ha...

My experience was there was a lot of dishonesty with my stutter. Instead of approaching things head on, trying to avoid or conceal my stutter. That's why I didn't like the "fake stutter" idea. But if ...

Hi, he was being mean. He is also a jerk to other coworkers but they never say anything. They just react to it and I don't like when he does that. Why is the "fake stutter" a bad idea? It's not real...

Coworker made a joke about my stutter.

Coworker made a joke about my stutter. My stuttering consists on blocking. Sometimes I am unable to let a word out and I get stuck. I noticed that when I talk to my close family I do block but then I...

I worked harder in college (eventually) because of my stutter. Over compensated, overachieved is the term, I think. It helped a lot. Be practical about your education. Unless you are absolutely passio...

I mean it can happen on anything, but like you i find it happens the most on certain letters. The big ones for me are m and n sounds, w sounds, and l sounds. That’s all i can think of right now but pr...

My answer doesn't jive with your poll. I find that it helps me see the blocks coming. So I'm better able to maneuver around them (word substitution, etc.)....

Yes. this was the exact case with me. Went through about 2 years of speech therapy across many different therapists. None of them helped. What did help was being comfortable. I’m 16 and still have a s...

I know it sounds really sus. I know it sounds like I am making light of the situation but believe me, I know how it feels to be trapped because of this handicap. I would say just try speaking in publi...

I haven’t notice any improvements by these 2 years, the techniques as we know are for speaking in an easier way, each technique has its own effects, for example breathing, opening the vocal cords, len...

So you’re telling me I could’ve ended my stutter if I just faced my fear of public speaking:/?! Jokes aside, good for you for facing your fear and was able to get rid of your stutter. I’ve literally s...

Same I don't stutter when I am alone but when talk to someone I stutter. Are you able to control it anyhow? I saw it, but I don't know how to slow down my thoughts lol, I will try though. Any other ti...

Like, don't plan extensively or sit and think about it. Like what I did was whenever I had the urge to speak and that nervousness or the thought came in, I just stopped and thought once what I had to ...

You will get there. it's like riding a bike. It will be stumbly and tough at the beginning after that, once u catch speed, you forget about the worry to balance, you just ride/ start speaking without ...

This is very true for some of us. I had it real bad ever since i remember until around 26 years old. I would get stuck on all the letters, mostly sss, fff and repeat like t t t, k k k. It was horrible...

Really interesting post. I can empathise with you. I’m 43, from the UK, have had a mild stammer all my life and have struggled over the years with something like what you describe: unable to finish se...

I stuttered on every other line. I remember I once got stuck mid-sentence while reading for the class on the word fridge and I was just saying " F FF FFF", So basically yeah I got bullied pretty bad....
