Yeah same.. but I WANT to say the words that I want to say.. Stuttering will get worse for sure if we keep avoiding words...

For me it’s “hard sounding” letters. Hard C (car, cat, etc), hard B (bill, boat), hard G (golf, gate), hard M (mother, moat). If the word has a blending first syllable I’m fine: CLoud, FLute, BLank...

Usually only half a second before I get to them unfortunately Gives me a second to find a different word to say (and 5 more blocks along the way)....

Allow me to share a funny story that was not funny at the time but I look back on fondly! About 2 years ago I was getting off of work I was tired, stressed and sluggish everything that helps with a s...

Let's change your stance on this. You're not asking for other words to use because you stutter/stammer. "I have a broken ankle, and it hurts when I walk. Can anyone think of another way for me to hav...

Using synonyms is a short term solution. It can help to avoid stuttering incidents but don't turn it into your only "crutch". You can also use word linkage, voice modulation, extreme pronunciation, ho...

I personally don’t think trying to express your words in a way so that you don’t stutter is harmful. If anything, I’ve found that it has increased my useful vocabulary and has made me verbally quicker...

I’ll second (and third) a lot of people who are noting that avoiding words isn’t a great method, and that if you’re in speech therapy, this is a great topic to go over with them. I’m similar to you wh...

İ just say "Do you 'member _____" since I talk fast and eat my words no one notice ha ha...

I wouldn't do that. It'll sound awkward, probably even more awkward than actually stuttering. If you can't think of a good synonym it probably doesn't have one....

You could always put a casual spin on it. “Do you ‘member when...” Or change the order of the words. “Remember when..” Or change the emphasis in your head. rEEmember when......

“R”s were always very tough for me, then I had two jobs where the agency name started with an “R” so trying to answer a work phone or even say where I work sucked. With some practice, I would still st...

I've heard it from both sides. I've heard that avoidance can make your stuttering worse, and I've heard that using synonyms and techniques to avoid stammering improves your stutter because when your s...

This is called word substitution and is an avoidance behavior. It will only reinforce your fear of stuttering. Eventually you'll stutter on the replacement word too. It's like people who change their ...

You probably don't want to hear this, but - avoiding the words you (think you're going to) stutter on is not a good method to not stutter by. It's also not guaranteed that the word you use instead is...

Synonym

Synonym I'm currently coming up with synonym's for everyday words that I stammer on, but I've come to a sentence that I use often that I just can't seem get around. If I want to ask someone "do you r...

I’m happy you liked my suggestion :). There are some great options on Etsy where you can personalize a name necklace- so many different styles!!...

I tell myself I enjoy the isolation and remote learning because I don’t have to interact with people nearly as much. But that’s just me reinforcing avoidance behaviours that are only making my situati...

You’re absolutely right. I can’t change who I am but I can change my perception of this situation. It honestly makes me feel so much better when I tell people “I stutter, please be patient” I’m not su...
