I'm in my mid 40's. Mine was bad as a child and that was rough, but it got better over the years to the point where some new friends in high school didn't know I had a speech problem. College was ro...

For phone calls I like to have a pen and paper with me and I write the word as I’m saying it to avoid or stop blocks. It works pretty well especially with saying my name and spelling it. The writing ...

Remember the harder you try the harder you fail. I pretend I’m talking to myself or my dog. Both are very low tension and stuttered hardly ever. It’s only when we try really hard and push out every wo...

Stutter issue

Stutter issue Hello I am 24. I have a stuttering proble. When I am alone, I don't stutter I can speak with myself fluently. And when I am with known people I stutter a bit plus infront of them sometim...

I can go on and on about this, but I'll try to keep it short. Feel free to check out my other posts or dm me:) I started my "journey" at 24. I fluency chased my heart out. I always tried to be posit...

Hi, I moved in Germany in 2018 and started to learn German myself 3 Months before that in Internet. Try it too, you can surely manage A1/A2 on your own, then it will be a little easier. It will be ha...

I definitely made it seem like OP had to make an essay about his stutter and his experiences lol, I didn’t mean that at all. What I meant was, not allowing the potential employer to see the stutter as...

I'm not against advertising. Many stutterers find it helpful. Its good to try at least once and see what works for you. I may have misinterpreted you, but I don't think it's necessary spending seve...

Don’t you think that disclosing the stutter eases anxiety, breaks the ice, and positions OP for a better smoother riding interview rather than doing it all covertly? Depending what OP would be doing...

While it's your option to disclose, I am not sure it's necessary to spend several minutes, specifically in the beginning, talking about your stutter. It's retail. They want someone honest, dependabl...

Probably not what you want to hear, but I would recommend against it. I’ve had several close friends, roommates, family members, etc join fraternities and most regretted it in the long run. The pledgi...

Tips for Rushing a Fraternity with a Stutter

Tips for Rushing a Fraternity with a Stutter Since middle school and high school, I have dealt with a stutter mainly driven by anxiety—I don’t stutter around my family but do in most other situations ...

Yeahh man but thankfully I got a job interview tomorrow on a retail job tryna get out my comfort zone as much as possible...

Have to remember that stuttering is “trying not to stutter” so just be ok with it and stutter away. It sounds easy but most of us hate losing so much we can’t let it go. Once you’re ok with it. You ...

For me, it was working. Getting a job after high school and being forced to talk gradually got me out of it. I remember taking almost half an hour to tell an ice breaker in elementary school (not kidd...

Mine got a lot better when I moved from avoidance behavior to going on the offense. Basically feeling the fear but forcing myself into speaking situations. Allowing myself to stutter openly to reduce ...

Yes, sometimes. Sometimes stuttering gets worse, sometimes not. I noticed that i stutter less with strangers if i tell them that i stutter....

I’m exactly the same, I’ve always been worse with my family, yet at work or I’m meeting someone for the first time I manage much better. My theory is that word substitution and creative management to ...

First two paragraphs are so relatable other than the "You don’t run away from your problems". I've stopped taking phone calls for over an year now. Anyways, a really good read. congrats on your j...

THOUSAND TIMES YES. Meeting somebody new, I have no issues whatsoever. Meanwhile I can barely get sentences out to my own parents and close friends. Everybody I tell this to seems to think its ass ba...
