Your most annoying social situation to deal with?

Your most annoying social situation to deal with? Mine is trying to order a drink at a busy bar. The bartender looks at you, waiting for a drink order, and the stammer block hits. The bartender think...

Yeah, interesting. You're a covert stutterer. All of the success, high-bar setting you're talking about, is dependent, or you feel it's dependent, on you hiding your stutter. I don't think it's h...

I wish I had realized earlier on that most people don't care at all if you stutter, and those who do probably aren't folks you want to be around. Once I was more upfront and comfortable about it, and ...

Hehe, i guess its the most common type and the easiest to recognize :P People who block (myself included) become very proficient at hiding their blocking and are constantly switching their words so i ...

I don't really people think I stutter because of how well i hide it.But that ends up being a bad thing when I do slip up and stutter because then people think I just forgot what I was tryna say and st...

I don't go to Starbucks but yeah, I've found my own name can be hard sometimes. I've gotten away with it by saying "I'm Dana" but omggoood sometimes a person will repeat it like it's my actual nam...

I do the same.. Something easy... then I have to pay attention to the name I gave... sometimes I forget and stand there looking dumb....

Starbucks employee mocks customer with stutter. Really sad to see people with stutter being treated this way. Does anyone else have trouble giving their name when ordering coffee?

Hey good for you man. I'm pretty good in school as well. I mean like most stutterers I'm actually doing well in all areas of life EXCEPT for my social life. I don't really tell myself I'm not good ...

This comment in particular is the one I was referencing: https://www.reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/5f51rq/i_am_a_loser_i_just_cant_break_this_cycle/dahnqct/ I didn't see the one suggesting deaf women,...

I can confirm, mindfulness and a proper daily meditation practice has GREATLY increased fluency and made me care less about how other people think of me. Also eradicates anxiety overtime with a decent...

It's for a good reason that people who stutter are skeptical of these miracle cures. In the past many snakeoil salesmen and scammers have preyed on the desperation in many of us in finding a cure....

2nd point.. Exercise, Sleep and good nutrition will help. I know it sounds sugar sweet, but it's true. maybe a dopamine antagonist, but side effects can be a lack of motivation and depression. ...

Same. When I bought my phone, the salesmen started up the process of that new version of Siri where they get to know your name and voice, and he did it without asking. Lol I just froze up and told him...

Yeah, when we use something as a trick, it's possible that it ends up a part of our stutter. It's actually rather insidious that way....

Do you personally? I remember myself hiding my stutter and being ''100% fluent'' during a convo but still feeling like shit/toxic afterwards....

I'm 100% hiding it. The people closest to me with whom I talk constantly will more than likely notice *something* in my speech patterns that's off. All that I've heard is that (at my worst) I'll pause...

If "virtually" no one knows you stutter, then you're either lying to yourself or you're hiding from everyone around you. Doesn't really sound that appealing to be honest....

This AMA is so awkward. This is all common knowledge lol. I don't struggle. I train my communication skills daily. I am de-sensitizing myself to talking under any context without using tricks or ...

I'm a successful, white-collar professional who "has it all", and the catch? (Virtually) no one knows I stutter. AMA.
