Can’t say hello when answering a phone call

Can’t say hello when answering a phone call Ever since I was a teenager I sometimes block when having to answer a phone call or introducing myself to a room full of people. It seems like whenever ther...

I think the same thing. It has to be confidence and some breathing. I don't remember stuttering before high-school and I can't really remember if I stuttered in the first few years of high-school or ...

For me, it’s definitely a confidence issue, perfectionism, caring what others think, etc. It’s 99% mental and 1% breathing. When I was in my early 20s, I was making good money, partying, almost livin...

I still feel this. Esp in meetings and in front of guys. It's annoying. But you'll survive. Try not to beat yourself up... I love you. ❤️...

I appreciate this comment so much. I guess I never really thought about it being perception of self and being in my comfort zone. I was thinking about my comfort zone a lot, I was asking myself if tha...

I’ve had a stutter my entire life, it’s gotten worse when I feel my confidence is low. The key to social confidence with a stutter is putting yourself in situations that push you out of your comfort z...

I wholeheartedly agree! I tried to make a post on this subreddit but it's not showing up as posted, I'm glad I found your post though! It is a great shame that we have to go through this but it's ni...

I need advice or help (also kinda venting)

I need advice or help (also kinda venting) So pretty much I’m 18M and I seem to be having social problems. It’s really hard because it’s preventing me from doing stuff with my family and friends. I ha...

I'm the same, I've started stuttering again in my call centre job and it's getting bad. No ones said anything but I'm getting paranoid. I'm also getting these chest pains with it too, I thought it wa...

Just Need to Vent

Just Need to Vent So I started working at a call center October 2021. I had a VERYYY minimal stutter to the point nobody even noticed it and I did my job right. I even was recognized for learning ever...

I get like this every once in awhile when I get stressed out there’s no need to see a doctor they are just gonna tell some bullshit about breathing what I do when this happens to me is when I go home ...

I understand the feeling. Just remember that you care more about your stuttering than the people you are talking to do. From what you wrote it seems like you have less of a stutter than I do and I hav...

Does anyone here take Prozac? Does it make your stutter worse?

Does anyone here take Prozac? Does it make your stutter worse? Been really hesitant on starting Prozac because I’ve read that it can cause an increase in stuttering. I’ve had a stutter my whole life, ...

I know. However, Idk what to say. I assume you're getting this stutter block because of.. how can i say.. an event that made you anxious. That's the case I know with other problem. As for you.. I don'...

You people need to realise that people who panic/are angry/etc can't just "calm down" the second someone tells them to. If that was possible, I wouldn't be panicking in the first place...

I also stutter, especially with people more “senior” than me. I was a consultant and sometimes I really get frustrated that I couldn’t deliver the message concretely. A couple of things that are reall...

Stuttering in meetings

Stuttering in meetings I have an engineering internship at a big company and I have to be in meetings all the time. I’m fully remote so we have virtual meetings. Nobody turns on their camera and the c...

I get where you're coming from, but I get tired of people giving examples like Biden. Like sure he's president - HE CAN SPEAK. Do you know how long it would take me to try to give one of his speeches?...

I honestly think it's better for me to practice talking in situations where there's less pressure. My stutter is severe and I can guarantee you if I had to talk on the phone for my job I would get hun...

I absolutely think its taboo, frowned upon, and creates judgement. I have also found tricks for hiding it. Honestly, most of my coworkers probably don't even know I stutter. I will say that WFH has...
