Stuttering botched my joke

Stuttering botched my joke A co-worker buddy of mine was asked to meet with my boss about something and another co-worker asked “what do you think he did?” (Context we have the most boring mundane of...

Some people who stutter switch words to avoid a word they believe will be stuttered; this is much harder to do in your second language......

Haha, reminds me of the time I was working on radios and had to relay a small piece of information when my instructor (who was new and didn’t know me) was grading me. I chose to use a deeper, slower a...

Online speech therapy

Online speech therapy I have been suffering from a speech block stutter primarily on the phone for the last few years working in insurance. Due to the pandemic I've been working from home a lot and I...

I don't quite know what to call it. In posts in here previously, I've talked about "performance modes" in general, but that's beginning to sound a bit too clear-cut for me. So, perhaps "interaction ...

Good idea. I just talked to someone who said he doesn't stutter when he talks super fast....

When I get pulled over sometimes the officers ask me if I’m drunk. Last time wasn’t bad though, the cop said "Not to be rude, but is that a natural speech impediment?” I said yes. I still wish more co...

I’ve been looked at like I had three heads quite often, hung up on, and yelled at because a person thought I couldn’t read but haven’t been asked if I was drunk yet. After reading the experiences of...

One of the most relatable comments to me. That's happened to me so many times it's fucking retarded. Especially when I'm the least drunk out of my friend group. One time the bouncers let my friend in ...

I work as a dental receptionist, and one of our patients whom I was talking to on the phone thought I was drunk at 9 in the morning. He was very rude about it and it was hurtful. I told the doctor and...
