I have been trying to slowly wean myself off being only fluent when i am alone. I have been talking on my phone in crowded places with no one on the other end of the line, like pretending to have a co...

As much as you’re right, it is too hard for me not to think like that.. But yea I’ll try to take that in mind in the future....

I think in your case, if you think it’s appropriate, would be to just stop speaking for a bit. Give yourself a chance to reset and dump whatever care you had about the last question/conversation and c...

From my own experience, depending on how severe your stutter is, I would politely let the person I'm speaking to that I have a speech impediment and continue with what I am saying. It's a disclaimer a...

Everyone just says speak slowly, think before speaking, stop abruptly while speaking but when I'm alone none of this happens to me i will be giving a speech like as if I'm in a TED talk or something, ...

In general, having fear-based blocks and depending on word switching will lead to “being forced” to lie, interrupt, or just hide....

Does your stutter make you feel restricted in dating and meeting new people?

Does your stutter make you feel restricted in dating and meeting new people? I’m trying to break out of this in recent times and it’s going well by pushing myself really. Chatting to people online fir...

Honeslty this is such a great mindset. When I was a little more fluent I purposely enjoyed presentations and would do them as much as possible. Now that I recall that was maybe the most fluent I’d bee...

Fluent, in this context, means to speak without a stutter. I rarely ever stutter. Sometimes if I'm extremely tired I can have an instance of disfluency. A three or five second block. But today it's t...

Keep it simple then lol. This is what I would say to someone who I care for and want to have a relationship with. Maybe it’s just my style but I like to add in some humor to my speech. It cuts the ...

Oof. Speech is supposed to be automatic and unthinking. You just do it. That applies to fluent people as well as stutterers. We could talk as automatically as fluent people if we just didn’t give a ...

Hi! I relate to you very closely and guess what, I’m in nursing school LOL! The one profession where you’re constantly talking & I also have had tons of customer service jobs where I constantly had to...

I did this over a decade ago!! Time passes by fast. I think it was 1k.  But most importantly the thing here is to affirm the stuttering.  We will stutter. We will have easier days and it's ok that we ...

No, I completely understood what you said. This is the classical approach. Make the stuttering go away so we can be like everyone else. The problem is that it doesn't go away. You can manage it with v...

This is completely backwards thinking. If you always avoid embarrassment like it's the plague, how is that ever going to help you? All that does is set you up for a life filled with regret for all the...

Hmm I used to be covert but now I’m more into being open with my stuttering. I don’t think it’s healthy or necessary to be covert. It’s not fair to us. What we have to say is just as important as flue...

Yeah that’s pretty much how it rolls. The lion’s share of people don’t give a flying fuck about your stutter, they’re too preoccupied with their own lives and if they do care, they just have too much ...

When I do I just carry on as it never even happened but cringe so hard inside. People give me a different look for a second but when I don't react to it my self they 99% time just move on with the con...

I think my problem is not very common. I don't fear or feel ashamed of stuttering altho I used to. Now talking makes me weak, maybe it's psychological, I mean I lose energy and feel tired after talkin...

It happens. Old fart here. Any freaking thing effects mine, I can be dehydrated and it’ll change my stutter/stammer. It’s crazy eh. Love the people that want to nail it to a single thing (like just sl...
