I’m 23 and have stuttered from childhood up until about last year. Right out college, I took a job in sales. This job involves cold calling to find new business and maintaining relationships with exis...

There’s a lot of people who aren’t further in life than they want to be. You must embrace your stutter and be confident. Most people don’t care that you have a stutter. Just be yourself and make them ...

Let people know that you have a stutter before you interact with them. There is nothing you can really due to permanently cure your stutter so you are going to have to find ways to live with it. From ...

I feel like I would be so much farther in life if I didn’t have a stutter.

I feel like I would be so much farther in life if I didn’t have a stutter. I started a new career, and currently I’m just thinking how much farther I would be if I didn’t have a speech impediment. I h...

I know the feeling. I think many here do too. From my experience, what has helped is to embrace it fully. I've had an amazing speech therapist who helped me understand that what I speak is valid, no m...

And therein lies the problem! You’d be surprised though, most people are pretty understanding if you disclose your stutter. And if they don’t, so be it! Dealing with ignorant people is just a fact of ...

First big boy presentation tomorrow

First big boy presentation tomorrow For context I’m a college student doing an internship, and tomorrow morning I have my first big boy presentation. Essentially I’ll be presenting the progress of my ...

Totally agree with your assessment of blocks - I think it’s a disservice to consider them primary bx. They (along with all avoidance behaviors) happen bc of your fear of others hearing your repetiti...

I'm watching some videos on YouTube. But I'm researching an Abra gagueira group that holds online meetings for reading. In my case, I need to expose myself to feel more confident. If I find it I'll le...

Usually I write down all my details on my phone notes and show them that. For my doctor i switched to one that doesn't have a reception, but has a self-check-in system....

Introducing myself is the hardest thing for me sometimes because there isn't another word I can replace it with. Going to the pharmacy is the toughest time I have. Lately I'll just give them my licens...

You have a covert stutter where the fear of knowing someone may judge you for having repetitions causes you to block, especially on things you cannot switch, like phone number, job description, names,...

First of all, that's fucking illegal. They can't discriminate based on your stutter. If you have that shit in writing, you could honestly sue. I'm not well versed on the law but I'm sure someone here ...

Yo it's CRAZY how much this happens!!!! I was telling my co worker that I don't like talking on the radio because of my stutter. You know, bringing it out there, not letting it control me, not trying ...

Putting it out in the open helps so much. As talking on the phone is especially difficult, I've started just announcing that I have a stutter at the start. In turn, this leads to me almost not stutter...

Same. I think when stuttering is out in the open, it's supposed to remove tension in the room. I doubt any stutterer would think you were lying about stuttering. It's not something anyone lies about...

worse, I believe its because I barely talk to anyone and even at school I just avoid speaking to ppl but even if they do I either ignore them or avoid trigger words. it's crazy to think ppl just see m...

When I was in my early twenties, I took a 2-week workshop in Italy that changed my life. Basically the teacher asked us whether we used stuttering to avoid things that scared us. I realized immediatel...

this is the funniest shit to me because I am a terrible liar and it's always a last min choice between honesty and fluency. I try to only do it with people I know I won't see again like working custom...

A feeble attempt at Trauma Bonding in the most disgusting way to establish something in common. It may be soothing to them to attempt at something that bonds us together but it’s a feeble effort to cr...
