I dont stutter at all when talking,but..

I dont stutter at all when talking,but.. I still anticipate blocks.I dont understand it-i have full confidence that i can pronounce literally every word,but i still anticipate blocks before starting s...

I hate the new automated phone lines which are like "*please recite your reference number so we know where to send you*" ... "*Sorry, I didn't catch that, please try again*". Why the fuck can't I j...

For some reason I find phone calls better, because the person can’t see my weird mouth movements/struggling, and often I can start preparing to say a word physically before I actually need to say it...

Exactly! It's like people think we enjoy stuttering or that we are just too lazy to try different treatments which cost thousands of dollars each and don't guarantee anything....

My teacher used to say that to me, idk why people think stuttering is something people have control over...

If I were you, I'd try to adopt a "who cares what this person thinks" mindset. Especially for situations like ordering food and giving them your name. I stutter on my name all the time when ordering o...

It’s definitely vicious. Every week at cub scouts at roll call. Every year in grade school the first day at school. No one has laughed at me since high school, but it still the one instance I can’t ma...

Probably what I taught myself. To add letters I stutter the least on to words or to pronounce letters wrong to stutter less. I stutter the most on vowels and least on letters you can just flow out you...

I think about this a lot too. Stuttering sucks so much and it just makes every little thing difficult. I think it’s probably best that we don’t judge ourselves as much on outcomes but rather on action...

I am not sure. Definetly, it was an handicap. When you want to say something and that your own body doesn't let you do it, it's an horrible feeling. On the other hand, it has also pushed me to try t...

It’s good that you are aware of it and try working on it. I find myself too unintentionally doing it every now and then. When I was first told about it, I would have what I want to say in my head. Wo...

I do that word substitution thing too, i think it’s called circumlocution (literally circular speech). I wish I didn’t but I’m just focusing on not embarrassing myself. How do you overcome that fear?...

It really makes me hate myself, I had to ask a friend of mine to give me a drive to school because it was raining and I couldn’t bike, and at the end I just went “T-t-t-t thank you” and I felt like sh...

Looking for friends to work on speech with

Looking for friends to work on speech with I have had a stutter for the last 11 years and I still am not able to overcome it. I can’t even say my name when I meet people and I have to use a nickname t...

I'm not really sure when it comes to work but sure if there are more people, more pressure basically will be on me. Also whenever I'm with my friends and try to explain something, if I stutter, they i...

Man, my benzo addiction was usually \~10 pills a day minimum along with alcohol and all. I reckon the worst damage was mixing it all with meth, ecstacy and nos on the daily. I used to work abroad, in ...

I think this is what I need to do. I think because I spent the last 3-4 years of my life high 95% of my waking hours, I had only interacted people comfortably while I was high, so I never had to worry...

Probably a combination with the anxiety of quitting drugs and that opioids have a tendency to mess with the brain signals when abused I have the same thing with nicotine, if I don’t get my nicotine f...

Same boat here. Was most addicted to benzos too and oxy. Man was my stutter wurse when I decided to get clean. Almost couldn't talk, anxiety to the roof. But now I'm clean for longer than 6 months, my...

I feel the same way and I think constantly about how to improve my next interaction. My efforts are rarely fruitful, and I am mentally exhausted. I don't by any means have a bad life, but I feel like ...
