Is my “stutter” a stutter?

Is my “stutter” a stutter? So my whole life I’ve had a bad stutter but recently I’ve been questioning if it’s a stutter. Basically I physically can’t say the start of the word or sometimes the whole w...

Thank you so much for your kind words. I relate to what you said I feel bad and weak when I hide away from challenges. One of my teachers knows about my stutter because in the first day of school the...

When I did presentations I focused on the back of the room. The people think you’re looking at them but you’re really not. Another trick I did was memorize what I was going to say. It helped with ...

Yo man, i know what you mean like ur worried ur stutter will affect your job, it shouldn’t matter what your speech is like, if your good at the job your applying for then thats all that matters, i kn...

This ☝🏽, everytime I have to say my last name I get a sense of dread cuz I’m always afraid I’m not gonna be able to say it, it doesn’t help that I’m in the Army and so we really only go by last names...

I hope my reply didn’t sound rude! I’m sure there are SLPs that deter people from using filler sounds and words. I am studying SLP, (and will be graduating this year), I’m just relaying what I’ve lear...

I'm not a SLP, but I do have 30 years of different kinds of speech therapy under my belt and I've read all kinds of literature and scientific research on the subject. I get what you are saying, but t...

Are you an SLP? Respectfully that’s false, stuttering is something in the speech world that there is very little on. There is no “cure” or even set in stone proven method of therapy, every SLP will sa...

That will turn into secondary stuttering. Any good SLP will advice against it....

Cluttering

I can releate so much to the first one. For example I had id before my friends did so I was the one that went to the store to buy alcohol, cigarettes etc. And it happened several times that I walked o...

Sometimes when its just random person asking whats my name I come up with another name. Somehow all the names are easier to say that your own...

I know in advance the words that trouble me (unfortunately, my name is one of them). I often have to hesitate and breathe and center myself, and I know people are looking at me going "Don't you know y...

Oh yeah, I know I probably have that problem too because I totally rely on saying “umm” or “mmm” “uhh” every time before I speak, however I personally feel that’s the only way I can somewhat get throu...

The filler words is a good suggestion, but it can become problematic. Here's why: I started using filler words mainly the word "Uhm" with a slight stretch to stop myself from blocking but now every se...

Hey! I’ve stuttered all my life, I’m currently 22 and studying to become a SLP (which is ironic). I still have huge troubles with plosives as well, much like B P and D, what I’ve developed that’s help...

I can feel them coming usually before I’m even ready to say the word. This works in my favor though, as I can choose a new word to use quicker....

Same 100%, I find myself avoiding introducing myself to people so I come across as really standoffish and a lot of my friends now said they thought I was really rude when I first met them. In my first...
