For me, I know which words I have the most problems with, so I will do something before the word to help. I will also sometimes change out the word entirely....

usually, I know what my sounds my blocks produce and will try to avoid producing that word all together by changing it to a synonym. but as of recently, my stuttering has gotten so bad that I have sta...

I try to use a different word but in cases in which there isn't another word to use, I restart the sentence but it's turned into a habit that i don't like 😭...

yeah and like when i’m just having small talk i’m able to speak probably 99% fluently because i know exactly what words imma stutter on so i just change the word. but when i’m introducing myself i can...

I can kinda tell, sometimes i try to say it but then i get a block and just stop saying it and restarting my whole sentence. But other times i know when im gonna stutter and try and change my wording,...

question

question sup, I don’t know if i’m the only one but when i’m speaking I can tell if i’m going to stutter on a word before I start to say it, so often times i’ll change the word. but is this the same fo...

I was thinking to practice with Alexa. Do you feel it will help you ? English is not my primary language and my stutter is pretty bad when i speak it. I tried english classes but didn't helped....

This is a really bad suggestion I'm sorry you got. It is introducing unintelligiblity into your speaking pattern and you'll have to work to unlearn it. These kinds of "tricks" may bring short term, no...

I had a couple sessions of speech therapy as a 20-something and what really helped me were alternatives for sounds I would block on. Ex: I had difficulty with words starting with D so my therapist sug...

Well, stuttering isn't quite like riding a bike. It's not that we don't know how to speak, it just that stuttering tends to get in the way. If you had, like, a stick in your wheels randomly sometimes...

100% fluency is an unattainable goal, because all people have some disfluencies time to time, even non-stutterers. I look at stuttering as I'd look at a pebble in my shoes. It's there, it's not a...

I'm not sure how much i stutter compared to you all. I try to keep orders as simple as possible (like one word). If somehow the person didn't understand. I kind of have a "fuck it" attitude and just s...

I'd want to eliminate it. If anything, stuttering prevents me (or makes it really difficult) from saying what I want to say. I know because I'm bilingual and I talk a lot more in the language I stutte...

Just a vent about the two things I hate most about having a stutter

Just a vent about the two things I hate most about having a stutter 1) I hate that I sometimes don’t order what I want to eat, especially at the drive thru. If someone’s in the car and I’m ordering fo...

I used to be a cashier. And I would have a couple of phrases ready in my head. So just in case I feel like Im about to stutter, I can say a different sentence instead. For example, We had to ask custo...

I'm reading a book where the author used to stutter during his youth, and he started using something called speech 'crutches' to get through some of these conversations. He mentioned 8-9 crutches that...

^This has been my route since I was a kid. It helps especially if you read a lot and learn different words that are easier to sound out and still get the message across....

One thing I usually do is have multiple ways of asking the same thing in case I block. It’s a bit of crutch and doesn’t solve the underlying issue but in these super short and quick interactions, it’s...
