I know right! I think to myself if I just repeat what I say to myself, I should be able to get it out. Sadly I’ve accepted this lifestyle, thankfully my partner is willing to do all the talking in pub...

Stuttering isn’t usually at random intervals. I’ve had words that were never a much of a problem rather suddenly become a word I stutter on every time. Same thing happened with certain letters and sou...

I let friends complete my blocks for me haha, I’ll just be like “I can’t say that word right now”...

Interesting...I’m not a psychologist or a SLP. I understand the need to “own it” and accept the stutter without embarrassment. I’d rather speak fluidly tbh, and avoiding difficult words, replacing the...

My psycologist said not to replace words this way i m escaping from my stutter . I said its embarrassing n she replied " let it be . Just dont feel that way. Just say what u have to say no matter how ...

I'm not sure why you started stuttering. I've had a clutter stutter my entire life but people do say anxiety makes it worse. For most of us there isn't any physically making us stutter, its just somet...

Write some common sentences on a paper or notepad. For example Hi my name is …. How can I help you today? And when the time come just read for the notepad. For me I don’t stammer when I am reading so...

Not in IT but I work in vet medicine. Went into it thinking I’d just work with animals but had to talk to clients more and more as I got promoted. Was nervous as hell first, but with practice I got be...

a general tip I give to my fellow stutterers and use myself, is to speak spontaneously as much as possible....

Hey man I have a mild stutter, but it never really got into the way of communicating with people especially girls. Even when I stutter girls don't seem to be bothered about it. I would suggest you tak...

I have the same kind of stutter as you where I just can’t get anything out. Thankfully I have found ways to control it and it’s gotten noticeably better. I’m a drummer and started taking lessons abo...

I dont think there ever was a single point, there were a lot of them and aftrr some time, theyve made me immune to my speech fails. I also read lee lovetts book about how he beat his own stuttering....

I just think if I can stutter through things when I'm at my worst, then bad days won't feel so bad, and good days will feel great. I've tried supps and things in the past and just ended up feeling wor...

I can only speak for myself, but after having a long period of barely being able to get past a sentence, when I have something to say, I say it. I always want to make sure my point is understood and m...
