When I have to deal with strangers(usually I'm the customer though) and I'm anxious about it. I have a technique to decrease my anxiety. I have a very well rehearsed upbeat "hi, how are you?" I'm con...

In the dreams i feel the same anxiety when I’ve to speak (what a shit) but sometimes I speak fluently...

Thank you! This is the exact situation I am in. I speak fluently alone but when others are around, I'm hopelessly nervous and babbling non-stop. That's when the blocks kick in....

Yeah you’re right. These people probably won’t even remember me it’s just so hard to not overthink this. I think it is discrimination but it’s my fault too I guess for not being honest with her...

Listen man. I’m 22 and I have a pretty severe stutter. I know that feeling all too well. If you really like this girl, you gotta just go for it. I know it’s hard man. But you’d be a legend for approac...

Can’t wait to stutter more than a car that won’t start in winter. I just feel like stutters are so unconfident looking...

Just be yourself and stay calm whiles u calm and ask it . Dont think about it tho just forget it for now and laugh with her and then ask...

Be ready to realize it’s no big deal if they make fun of you. That’s their problem. Be pleasantly surprised if they are empathetic and accepting. c'est la vie...

I agree with the essence. Judging by your testimonials, you're probably a mild stutterer (like myself). In this case, it is in fact true that our stuttering, or the way we speak in general, is largely...

Yeah, I've become okay with the stuttering myself. It's the general social anxiety that drives me nuts now....

I feel like my classmates are not mature enough and will make fun of me, so I will do my best in the real world instead where no one really cares...

What you can do is you can ask the teacher to read it out in front of them personally, at the bare minimum I would do that and that is what I did at school however what I come to understand later on w...

I totally understand this! To this day I dislike having to introduce myself!! something that helps me is knowing that nobody really gives a shit. it may seem like your stutter episode is going to be t...

I totally get this. I totally block on it. And get ready n nervous awaiting my turn for the 'introduction '. I feel like an idiot because everyone else is thinking 'this is NOT a hard question'...

been online since Covid but recently came back to campus. I have great friends and am in a fraternity, but every social interaction completely drains me, while others just talk to shoot the shit. wondering if this gets easier bc I don’t think I can continue to live such a stressful life like this

I feel you. It feels so shit from our end, but always remember that most people are very understanding with stuttering and they probably won’t even remember the whole scenario in the future anyway!...

Introductions

Introductions Today was my first day of school and we had to introduce ourselves as always. The teacher got to me and I said my first name with a subtle block but I was still relieved that it wasn't t...

I would like to practice my reading but I’m terrified of being judged and my classmates are not the nicest sometimes so it gives me a ton of anxiety...

I've come to realize attempts to completely eradicate it are too forceful and short-lasting. You may reach a new high, but you also get a new low. If you were to accept it, chances are you would stil...

I was “called out” during an interview for stuttering in order to come up with a good answer to a question. Like I was stalling for time by stuttering. Pathetic interviewer who was projecting their ow...
