Surely this would indicate speech anxiety rather than a lack of ability to speak. I work in the Uk Police force and for example when I say O66 as a call sign, in the car with my colleague. It is clear...

I wish I had the confidence at age 18 to tackle stuttering head on instead of doing everything I could to avoid speaking. Good on you, and you should be proud of yourself, and you seem to have a good ...

No, you would not. The negative memories and the fear of stuttering is why you do it now. Getting rid of the negativity is one of the keys to fluency....

Never allow the fear of embarrassment due to a stutter stop you from expressing yourself, this is coming from an older person who wished that I could have been more expressive when I was younger. Beca...

Well it's normal to get really emotional when you don't feel understood. Situations like that still frustrate me to no end, but I have to remind myself that they just don't know, and why would they. T...

Should I quit my University debating team because of my stutter?

Should I quit my University debating team because of my stutter? (I originally posted this on r/Advice, but I though it'd be better suited here) (New to reddit, apologies if this is in the wrong plac...

I know you’re right. I’ve been too emotional to be logical about this. More than likely, these people have never come across a stutterer in their life. Of course they come to these conclusions. I re...

“She needs to work on her talking skills.”

“She needs to work on her talking skills.” Overheard a coworker saying this. I’m not totally sure if it was about me but I don’t know who else it could be about. Anyway, I was so hurt and angry that...

This is what helped me, I would strike up a conversation with a very beautiful woman. It put me on cool mode and made me relax in return allowed me to practice taking my time talking. It also built up...

A tip that’s been pretty successful for me when I remember to do it is to start exhaling before you start speaking. So you get the airflow going and that makes the word onsets easier, if that makes se...

Just because u have a bad stutter and they dont, doesnt mean they cant be socially anxious...

I dont have a speech impediment but when Im anxious I do stutter and I hate it so to everyone who deals with that on a daily basis, your all fucking kings and queens and to anyone who isnt male or f...

Same. Lower possibility of promotion (depending on the nature of job). Feels like the odd one out in the group. Anxious or come across as drunk all the time, tired of embarrassing moments. Everyday is...

Anyone in the UX/UI design field? Seeking some career advice

Anyone in the UX/UI design field? Seeking some career advice I've been going through a career change after quitting my boring, mindless, repetitive job in data analysis about a year ago. Went through ...

My social anxiety is completely independent of my stutter, so I see your hate and shrug. Feeling better for venting?...

I know it can be annoying, but a few people have told me theystuttered at some point in their life, usually a low point for them and it was caused by anxiety or somethingX I just look at it like they ...

My stuttering got less and less once I hit college and moved into my 20s. I attribute it to losing some of that teenaged anxiety. Something I’ve found that helps with phone calls is to have a notepad ...

Vent away! I don't think we have enough outlets to get our frustrations about our stutters out. I will say though, as a socially anxious person who just happens to have a stutter (they're not related)...
