>is there any way to at least make it more occasional? There are all sorts of techniques, some might work better than others for you. Try to find videos on Youtube, maybe look for "tips" or "advic...

I was in your situation just recently, and I'm sure I'll be in your situation again once I graduate uni, and at every new job afterwards. I did a one year internship in a professional environment, and...

I would definitely suggest giving therapy another shot. I think the people on here saying "don't worry about it" are unknowingly being dismissive towards your problem. The goal for most adult therape...

Have you tried any therapy? Your age is the perfect to start a therapy and trust me you'll notice difference. Consult a speech therapist and ask them to help you build more confidence too. Also speak ...

Looking for a group to help overcome a stutter.

Looking for a group to help overcome a stutter. By the title, my goal obviously seems ambitious, but unlikely, which is understandable. I have stuttered my whole life, and I'm completely sick of it co...

I'm 100% recovered from lifelong stuttering, and have helped a handful of people on reddit start their recovery process and have "holy shit" moments. After I read your story, I think I may be able to ...

I think it has something to do with altering sensory input. It doesn't even have to be auditory input necessarily. For instance if you were to poke yourself with thumbtack (not recommended) it might g...

Try reading aloud to someone you know and see if you stutter, reading to someone is a well known exercise and often people speeches. Reading alone can also help, I know I only read aloud when I am a...

My girlfriend stutters and experiences this as well. We looked into it at one point and I believe that the brain uses different pathways for reflexive speech vs. "imitative speech." It's the same if s...

Practice talking out loud. Practice breathing. Communicate with your teacher/counselor so they know about your stutter. If your teacher wants you to speak in front of class (which I think is a good, h...

Seriously, if you want any tips, I'm happy to share my experience. There were things that really helped. My absolute number one is to speak for something else a month or two prior to the wedding. I ...

Delivering a best man speech today. Wish me luck!

Delivering a best man speech today. Wish me luck! Feeling pretty prepared, but of course we never quite know how it's going to go down. Either way, I'm feeling really confident and if I start confiden...

Worked at an IT call center in college for years. After a few weeks, I realized that most of my conversations were almost identical. I was saying the same things over and over again, "have you tried ...

Lol thats what i was thinking. Ill just answer calls in a certain tone (like singing a little) so i wouldnt stutter. ...

Is there anyway to shorten your shift? 11 hours seems a bit extreme. But that depends on how high the call volume is. I can't really give you advice. I have worked in a call center and I definitely st...

Good luck! I stutter and worked at a call center. Scripts helped so much. I practiced them a lot at home. My stutter is worse when I am nervous so I make sure I am prepared for most questions. I...

I'd answer with it's, I'm, uhh, or my name is, etc before my name, but sometimes i have to cycle a few of them before I can say it and people haven't a clue what I said. It's (or uhhh it's) can work w...

I got the offer

I got the offer Job interviews and feeling not getting a well paid job have always haunt me. I started speech therapy two weeks ago and had a job interview yesterday. Guess what... I got an offer. It ...

That's a lot to take in! Thanks for sharing all that. Let me ask you this, are you speaking in autopilot (going through motions)? Or are you conscious of every word that's coming out of your mouth, y...

Yes, absolutely. I work in a cube surrounded by others. I'm pretty used to it now though. The best thing I can recommend is to pretend there is no one around and just speak slowly. Easier said than ...
