I understand. My suggestion is that trying to hide and be fluent is the wrong way to look at it because you will always be upset and disappointed. The other option is to stop worrying about fluency (b...

By unnecessary I mean to control my speech, so that i don't stutter as much like first time reading it. My vocabulary is not that great, and english is not my first language. Thats probably why my ear...

Canada - when driving across land borders - choose busy ones. Living in a country which has less social drama, and where public discussion is conducted in a more sensible way is I think a very healthy...

I handle myself decently imo at parties. Drinking isn't a part of my social strategy as I don't partake. Generally at parties I'm too focused on the people I'm talking to or having people around me en...

Took me years to realize just being honest is the way to go. If you find yourself in a block just say casually, "I don't know if you know but I stutter." It's much big of a deal for you than it is fo...

How do you guys deal with parties?

How do you guys deal with parties? How do you guys handle yourself? When i drink i consider myself 90 % fluent, and when im not i`ll say im about 40 %. I have no problem being social at parties, but a...

For the longest time "speech impediment" was my go to phrase as I'd stutter/block on stutter. But I'm trying to skip substituting (circumlocution) in my speaking....

I think you're in a good situation to expirement with how to overcome this block since you're a cashier and 90% of customers don't really care what you say, they just want to get out of there. This gi...

You're trying as hard as you can to say the words but you're trying equally as hard to make sure you don't show any stuttering. The result of these two counter forces pushing on each other is you get ...

Hi Lyssinflannel, I had to respond to your post because I felt like I was reading an entry in my diary lol. I’m a 23/f stutterer…soon to be 24 I never attended Hollins, but I did purchase the speech...

Yes! I'm a covert stutterer as well and have had similar experiences before. I suppose recently I've decided to cut back on my asocialness (is that even a word?) and force myself to talk more. I thin...

Introduction

Introduction Long time listener, first time caller. Or, something like that. I've been an avid Reddit reader for a while now and recently decided to post on the forum and reach out to everyone. I'm n...

I feel the same exact way as you do. I am a covert stutterer as well and gone through every thing you went through - decent job, would occasionally go out to bars, play basketball on the weekends. As ...

This happens to me when I'm at work, I say to the costumers: here you go ma'am/sir and if you go online and take a survey, tell me how I did, and if you do, you can enter in a chance to win a 500 gift...

Yeah, I pretty much have a weak balance between isolation and a social life, but I think it's a normal reaction to avoid an uncomfortable situation. How is your fluency around people you talk to regul...

I think this is fairly common. I've experienced this at various points in my life...though it may always be present, just at a lower level. I know what you mean when you say you're comfortable but not...

Breaking out of asocial behavior

Breaking out of asocial behavior Has anyone developed an asocial type of lifestyle? I have and I don't know I feel about it. My stammer was bad when I was a child and it had quite a negative effect o...

Yeah I know exactly how you feel. But don't be afraid of the world and life because of your stutter. The world is so huge, full of diverse people and there are so many opportunities out there. Don't l...
