Thank you so much! Acceptance has probably been the hardest part for me, I feel like I managed to get it under control for some time, but lately i feel like I’m back where I started, also I don’t work...

How about doing this trick, if you ever stuttered with someone you never met before, just say with a smile “oh by the way I have a stutter”, their facial expressions will change instantly and smile ag...

This is close to my experience as well. I’m very upfront about my stutter, so no one is caught off guard on the date, and they’ve all been very nice about it. However, it’s rare that I walk away from ...

I hear you. In my experience, i've had people tell me that "everyone stutters", which is not true at all. I'm pretty sure that everyone is *not* pre-thinking what their next sentence is going to be, a...

I have a severe stutter and that hasn’t limited me; the only limit is the one you put yourself. It’s true that we do need to make a bigger effort than most people when it comes to social interactions,...

It's just a dentist appointment. I know how you feel about the fear. But it's not a reason to check out. Usually it's yes or no questions they ask. But just try to keep a box in your head of words to ...

Why is that? Don’t let stutter prevent you to live like any other people. We are stutters and other people have other issues in their lives. So no one is perfect...

I used to think this too and didn't have much success until my later twenties. I focused on taking care of myself, hobbies and getting out there. Eventually someone will recognize it and look past a ...

I totally get that. It’s only natural that our normal speech patterns are to speak fluently but with a stutter that often gets interrupted. I typically want to speak fast but I have to remind myself o...

Correct. The ‘I don’t pay attention, it’s easier to flow onto the next thing and keep talking’ is what ought to occur. Similarly, when I don’t pay attention to the way I speak, it flows. For past co...

Thank you — Yes, I guess it is how I speak. I've been conscious of it lately & I'm trying to forget about it, because if I don't pay attention, it's easier to flow onto the next thing and keep talking...

You had a stumble here and there but nothing to the point where you were not understood. When you spoke, I noticed how the pitch and octaves of your voice flowed up and down signifying you are comfort...

Honestly, I use costal breathing when things get a bit closed up and im feeling more blocks than usual. I’m also someone who did the McGuire program years ago. Lots of useful techniques when combined ...

I, too, struggle with one worded syllables at times. Whether it’s on the phone or in person. “Bye” or even a confirming “Yes” gets me. I don’t know what it is, but sometimes it does happen when I get ...

No, I don't feel anxious. It happens every time, even when I'm speaking with people I'm not nervous with at all. Getting checked out by a specialist would be cool but I don't even know what to say. ...

Recording a voicemail

Recording a voicemail I'm so terrified of leaving a voicemail when I am calling new people or the doctor's office. It's somehow worse that talking on the phone to another person. The beep just fills m...

I have Zero social anxiety when speaking or so I believe. I’ve been very socially engaging in conversation my entire life, 78f, no stuttering at all on the phone or in casual conversation that’s not s...

Just venting

Just venting Today at work, my coworker asked me to convert 8 meters and 20 centimeters in milimeters. I obviously know that but I'm struggling with words that begin with vowels and in my native langu...

You can always put your child in technical speech therapy—I haven’t found one that seems to truly work outside of HCRI (has closed its doors). If I had to go back and tell my parents how to handle wh...

Sometime ago I heard my call recordings as I was curious how I sound to other people and damn that was horrible, the repetitive weird sounds we make, it was so unappealing and suddenly I realise why p...
