Sometimes, I dread talking to strangers because I start practicing what to say off the top of my head over and over again and that makes me more nervous....

Yes. They have tried to back off but it is almost a habit. The less I engage the better. They know but they just can seem to help it. I just keep my point short and walk away before I get more ril...

Hey there, I work in a place where I have to call people a lot and we have a script. I use my stuttering modification and control techniques in order to make it sound more smooth. While I cant get rid...

I've done this for most of my life, and still sometimes do. I feel like it's important to learn NOT to. Even if not all at once, just try doing it a few times a day. Avoiding words (to me) only result...

There isn't really anyway around it if your stutter is pretty bad. You just have to power through it....

I saw your other comments man and first I want to say: please ask for help. If this becomes a life long stutter, you are going to wish you reached out to someone sooner. Don’t be afraid of your parent...

Yeah I never have a problem face to face with people but a random person over the phone isn’t gonna know and is just gonna hear me breathing like in scary movies when serial killers call people and j...

Don’t focus on the girl. That’s a big goal, especially never having kissed one before. Start small. With your peers, try to put yourself out there and talk more. It sounds like you are holding back ...

Honestly you don’t have to start out big. Little victories created bigger ones. Say “good morning/afternoon” when you see her. This doesn’t pertain to only her but other coworkers too. Social anxiety...

I really need help with this.

I really need help with this. (14m) btw Right so basically I started having a bad stutter the other day with just like little stumbles and what not before that day (couldn't be classed as stuttering i...

I don't drink so I can't say about that but I don't stutter when I sing or sometimes close my eyes while clenching my fist. Also English is my second language so I stutter more when I communicate in E...

Oh damn, I try to say the word but still would fail LOL, over the years I’ve improved so now I tend to hang on syllables though. You can see it on my streams on twitch. Decided to stream anyway after ...

Yes it’s the same, I change the word before I say it. Over the years though I managed to talk better compared to back then. Now I still hang on certain words....

Substitution is not a remedy for stuttering. Lack of confidence is not the cause of stutter. - Be careful how you phrase these things, such that people don't get the wrong idea about what you mean ...

It happens to me all the time. Sometimes when I'm traveling and I've to give directions, I'd know that I won't be able to say it and I'm going to have a speech block on that particular word(s). I some...

I am fully convinced that stutterers have a far superior vocabulary to most because of this exact reason. I often have a list of words I can interchange as needed. Like a walking thesaurus!...

Yup. Its a constant labor of grammar gymnastics trying to very, very quickly think of a replacement word that doesn't start with that letter, syllable or sound. It can get exhausting....

I usually can tell when I'm going to stutter especially if I switch from English to Spanish. I just tell people I can't say words right now so give me a sec....

I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. What's the worst is when you stumble on the replacement word lol....

10000% spot on. I know my letters I stutter on. Hard C’s (cold, carrot, etc). Hard G’s (golf, goal, etc), hard B’s (base, bill,bob). Change the word mid-sentence to avoid the stutter....
