I had to do a formal debate for class once and my stuttering got terrible because i was so nervous. I love debates and making my point, but the formal one was timed and I was the very last speaker, so...

I know exactly the feeling. Most people don't even know that I stutter as it only emerges on more anxious situations. Last month I had an interview through video conference and it was a total disaster...

Dating with a stutter

Dating with a stutter Like many people I use dating apps. A lot of singles don’t like approaching random men/women and asking them out, so the apps help with that along with avoiding possible face to ...

Interviews are the hardest, most daunting situations to deal with for most people...and especially tough for stutterers. I have been blessed in my career and I will say that even with a stutter I have...

It’s funny you mention this, I agree 100%. I don’t think I stutter less or am more fluent but I am more confident approaching people when they can’t see when I have a block. So glad I found this group...

I have similar issues. Most people wouldn’t know that I stutter, however if we are sitting around a conference table and everyone has to say a little something about themselves I get so nervous waitin...

When you pause, breath in suddenly and focus on your breathing; try to forget what you are saying and the situation (not like really forget... but rather just to not think about it); People who are ...

I try and use the “closer mentality” (like a baseball pitcher)....never think about the previous days embarrassing moment and try not to dwell on it. This can be traumatic and cause your stutter to be...

Nothing about your stutter is your fault so please listen to the others and take your time, and speak in whichever way is best for you. I’m starting to realize with my own stutter that when I’m stress...

The same people who say it’s cute will bring it up during an argument, or when you are arguing and you stutter they will make fun....

The biggest thing is just how exhausting it is. I'd probably be an extrovert if I didn't stutter. I love people, but I just hate social interactions. I'm just so sick of stressing out about EVERY SING...

I also struggle. I think my problem is that I'm too rigid and too anxious. I need to breathe and talk slowly......

I hate giving out numbers, when stuttering I often repeat myself - so I have to try really hard NOT to do this with numbers. But still, when I struggle it's just a reflex now. A lot of people get th...

I completely understand you bro, i am a stutterer myself i am also 23 now, i also can't accept the fact that i have to live like this forever, More importantly i don't want to live like this, Stutteri...

Hey, thank you. And welcome to reddit! I’m happy if my post made you feel a little less alone. Being a stutterer can feel very lonely in general, as we’re not a big percentage of the population. I’ve ...

I've tried slowing down and taking pauses. They work when I'm talking to myself or close friends but never when I'm under stress. For example when I'm having an intense conversation with someone no ma...

You’re not faking it. Idk how to prove that to your parents though. I gained a stutter as a teen too (16 now)...

Depends. It was different in school. Younger people are usually less patient and mostly more bullying, I guess because everybody is generally more insecure themselves at that age. As adults I feel peo...

Wow I really relate to everything you’ve expressed here! I’m 33 and have stuttered since I was about 4. I’ve hidden it using the same tactics as you from almost everyone I’ve met except for a couple v...

I've heard the whole ”Slow down when you’re speaking” sentence. It's really annoying and embarrassing since I've heard it so much. People always think they're helping but they’re really just making my...
