For me that’s not really case, I find the most important factor is if I know them or not and how they react. I find for myself women I don’t know, act more patronizing I guess like I’m mentally handic...

I once had a guy come back into the sandwich shop after eating, and give me this huge heartfelt rant. He stuttered alot growing up he and said “you probably prefer to hang out with females cause guys ...

19yo, completely understand most of my friends are women and I personally always feel safer and more comfortable talking to them and it’s been that way my whole life....

It has to do with how vulnerable your willing to be. Men seem to have a more toxic outlook towards vulnerability and it’s acceptance so maybe that’s why you are blocking. Expressing yourself is a form...

I stutter more while talking to men.

I stutter more while talking to men. I have noticed that when I talk with female friends I don’t stutter at all, I tend to do more facial expressions and be more expressive in general, but when I talk...

Interview

Interview I have an interview tomorrow and i dont know what to do , I feel like I'm gonna mess things up and blow the opportunity ... Any tips would be helpful and thanks...

Thanks man. It was excruciatingly awkward initially, but helped me overcome the embarrassment of speaking to strangers. Would definitely recommend it....

Something to think about is in how you describe it, it's not the stutter that holds you back but your thoughts and fears. Your stutter is not the main problem. You can do things while you stutter. You...

Does anyone else feel a pang of anxiety when the read a word with a “tough” syllable?

Does anyone else feel a pang of anxiety when the read a word with a “tough” syllable? Always happens to me. Was just reading a sentence that had the word “daily” in it and I felt a pang of anxiety and...

That last sentence sounds just wrong, so firstly, don't ever take benzodiazepine for stutter. You'll just get addicted to them, then you'll develop a stutter that will make you wanna suicide. First th...

Well, I'm not far from your experience. I know a bit about helpful medicines. Is your stuttering connected with anxiety? If so, is it physical like evaluated BPM when you're about to stutter etc. or r...

damn i could relate to this hard. i'm 19, a year older than you, and my stutter seems to hold me down as well. I don't like participating in my classes at all due to the fear of me stuttering and gett...

I love this post I stutter pretty severely myself. However I went vegan in 2019 for a year and noticed I was WAY calmer less anxiety and I could speak fluently with ease. Currently I’m eating a lot mo...

Same experience here too (but I say about 75% of my stuttering is driven by anxiety, the rest is just there)... had to do a lot of pseudo stuttering. I did stick with speech therapy though for the the...

My stutter is unique and 100% driven by anxiety. Normal tools taught by speech therapists don't help. Hell, I don't even stutter in front of speech therapists. Last time I went to a speech therapist...

Its just that most customer service jobs rely on scripted materials. For example, reading off a script from A to Z when interactinf with a customer. Its hard when you cant use your own phrasing. A fri...

I would say just working on my self-esteem and positive reinforcement from other people. I also went to therapy for a while where I talked about my feelings about stuttering, shame, social anxiety e...

Do it! And the sooner in the conversation/meeting, the better. When I was younger I found myself always being afraid (and by afraid I mean often terrified) of what Other People would think about me if...

Try not to get down on yourself man. We tend to focus on the negatives and overlook the good parts. People can assume all they want, and that's a reflection on them. What store do you work at btw?...

This was one of my "scariest" challenges I've ever done. (Ps. This was pre-c0v1d) Funny enough, it was one of the most pivotal challenges I've done that helped me in my speech journey. Holding th...
