Trying to hide it IS literally the reason you struggle to say simple things in otherwise low stress situations. Changing your goal to be “letting others hhhear your rrrrepeyitions” will eventually le...

Exactly the same for me. Even at work when we have auditors and visitors, I'll sometimes purposely take a drink of water when I know it's almost my turn to introduce myself and hopefully someone that ...

Immigration and DHS officers ( several countries, not all) are quite mean sometimes. I have had to tell them I have a stutter a couple times. But I guess it's their job to use body language to screen ...

When I got off of a plane from Dominican Republican and they asked me what I brought back with me he kind of teased me wondering if I am hiding something from being nervous but he realized quickly I s...

Hi, I'm 25F, and I struggle with things like that every freaking time😂 What's especially funny is that I can't make a sound while initially describing my issue, but once employee understands it I all...

Oh yeah I was staying silent in many situations. When I was "questioned", remaining silent never occurred to me as an option. The issue was that I was generally nervous in many social situations due ...

The best advice that worked for me is to disclose your stutter either by email before and/or at the beginning of the interview. This allows you to not worry as much about stuttering and instead focus ...

You grew up funny lol I wasn't inspected for anything, I avoided speaking at all, something happen f*ck it, I'd rather stay silent and not embarass myself than go after it, but there were situation wh...

I think at the beginning of my journey talking about my stutter was really important, helped me to understand that it’s really not as big a deal as I thought and that other people really aren’t bother...

Do what feels right. Stick with it - you might find that hiding yourself takes a lot more energy than dropping the fear. You have my support!...

Thank you for your response! I need to let go of my fear of being judged. It doesn’t help that only the closest people in my life know about my stutter, so I am focused all the time on trying not to b...

I've had similar stories. People telling me to speak louder to seem more confident, blah blah. It's sometimes easy to believe that we somehow must compensate for our stuttering. But that's the worst t...

Hi! 20M here. So, any advice, tips, tricks? My honest reaction would be to stop struggling and wanting to fight. As for my knowledge, stuttering is a condition which you can't eradicate. You might e...

Try to forget you have a problem with it.  Don't think about it, don't worry about it, it's no big deal if you say it like a T, but just give yourself a break from it.  It should be the last thing on ...

I feel you! I send voice messages in texting on a daily basis as I really love its simplicity and how I can express myself more. I stutter, of course, sometimes more, sometimes less. But I rarely dare...

Yes, exactly. It differs from country to country how hard it is to get. In my country, you have to hand it in 3 months prior to the exam date. And it's another 3 months till you get the certificate. B...

Hi! I'm very interested in that ARTS therapy, can you elaborate on it more? In the past I used to believe stuttering could be overcome and I struggled a lot with it. Then I found the term "open stutte...

I don't think that's entirely true. I'm soft spoken also but I always have my head held high, and when I'm approaching someone, i never rest my head or drop it low, doesnt matter if theyre bigger than...

I know what you mean, I felt that anticipation and hesitation very much in my stuttering pattern. It's definitely possible to change it, nowadays I stutter without effort and I don't see them coming, ...

Yeah fear and anticipation has played a massive part with me over the years. The more desensitised and less bothered I feel about the way I speak the better things have gotten. Still have good and bad...
