I often blurt out "hi how's it going" really fast when I see someone I kind of know or I'm caught a little off guard. It feels like I just throw that out to hide the fact that I feel like I'm going to...

>Yeah, the confidence part is what I absolutely do not have. Confidence comes from experience. I don't agree with the "just be confident" advice, sounds great in theory but it's too vague. You sho...

Thanks man. Smashed it...well I don't know if I got the job or not they'll tell me tomorrow but I didn't stutter...

Stutter more when initiating a conversation.

Stutter more when initiating a conversation. When someone says Hi to me, I can comfortably say hi back, and add more to it (how are you?), but I can't start off saying hi first. My stuttering isn't as...

Totally empathize - hang in there. Sometimes I use Scott for my name bec the “s” is easier for me too. 👊...

That makes my blocks easier to get through as well. I use something I won't block on as verbal momentum to get over the blocked sound, I usually put "uh" in front of things. It helps a lot but makes m...

I Totally get this. Most times i get the words out even if i block. But i dread those huge blocks that sometimes can't seem to get out of....

Yup, I feel you. Many times, I know exactly what someone is talking about, but I have to act like I can't remember, only because I can't say it....

Stuttering Struggles

Stuttering Struggles So basically I was being interviewed by my friend for his project. All the questions were based on my tennis game. The problem was that I LITERALLY COULD NOT SAY "TENNIS", the mai...

I definitely understand the negative spiral that can come about from simply being stuck on one word. I get stuck on words all the time, its just how it goes sometimes. You managed to find a workaround...

They also only ever just show people stuttering, not trying to deal with it. For example, there's no stuttering on the word "chair" for a second, and then changing to the word "seat". Which is a trick...

Taken it seriously as a problem. I grew up in the 70s/80s, when there probably wasn't as much understanding about it. Both of my parents seemed to think that I just needed to slow down, take a breath,...

I was about that age when my mom told me I wasnt speaking right and had to see a therapist. Until that point I had no idea. Maybe I didn't start until after first grade, as I would love show and tell ...

I used to pronounce my hard K sounds like a T sound, I went to speech therapy at school and also dealt with the same issues with the “intellectual disability “ thing in early grade school. I eventua...

When I say you can learn to control it, I'm not saying it'll go away. In fact, my post specifically said it'll never go away. When I'm talking about control, I mean you can communicate and participate...

Fair enough. I just think it's better not to tell people definitively that they can learn to control it. I've spent a lot of hours in speech therapy and. I've done the intensive fluency shaping progra...

Should I tell people I stutter? Online dating

Should I tell people I stutter? Online dating I'm a 24f female. I haven't dated a lot of people, but I've recently started back through an online platform. I have a mild stutter, it's not really bad b...

I know I'm a little late to this but just wanted to say, I stutter much much less when speaking English and German (second languages) than I do when I speak Serbian (my native language). As I'm gettin...

I don't know how to avoid it

I don't know how to avoid it There's this religious activity that I do every weekend just like others (I'm being vague because I don't want to give much details making it identifiable) and there are t...

I’m gonna be honest with you, I know this fucking hurts but that’s just the truth, it won’t. It took me years to accept it and it’s a part of who I am, that’s the bad news, BUT it can be controlled an...
