I've been doing these since March and since you have already disclosed about your stutter just do it and if you have a block, pause, breathe and continue on. You are going to be fine because you are ...

Hey dude, I can only second what the other people already said. I am not a stutterer, and I love doing presentations, so ill gladly share advice if youre interested, but I dont wanna make this comment...

I've had blocks my entire life. It's my main form of stutter. Over the years I've found that the most effective strategy was to make a sound before you start a sentence. Like a quiet hum or even anoth...

I tried gestures but froze with weird face it looked more awkward therefore I stopped gestures. In childhood I attended speech therapist but didn't stutter any words so therapist didn't help me. Now ...

You’ve got this. I struggled with presenting for so, so long. This past year I had the opportunity to teach in college as a TA. The first session I ever had to teach was absolutely TERRIFYING. Id st...

Who are you giving the presentation to? Do they know you stutter? Have you told them? If everyone knows what's going on, there's no reasons to be nervous about that....

Same, the fillers are just crutches in the end. It’s nice to know I’m not the only having these crazy internal monologues haha. All the best bro...

I feel the pain. Every trick works different for everyone, so I only speak for myself. I gave a presentation this week with no video, and yeah, it could have gone better, I didn’t really give a good ...

Yeah, the cure, tips and tricks advice is definitely a waste of time. So many people just run with whatever they've heard, without knowing anything about it. Some people might ask about your stutter ...

YES! It’s that spontaneity and turnaround time that make me internally panic. Like I need to respond now, I don’t have the time to respond, I don’t know what I want to say, let alone how I’m gonna say...

I can relate with the sudden/direct questions and mentally frazzled bit. I just automatically say umm to help me reorientate it a little and buy some time. Idk why it can be so destabilising at times....

Welcome! - Two things stand out to me: >I act like my stutter doesn’t annoy me with others, and play it off as nothing Don't do that. Don't "lie". It's unhealthy in the long run, I think. :) -...

So happy there’s a community here.

So happy there’s a community here. Hello everyone, new to this subreddit. Honestly, I’m just happy to find a community of those who go through this too. I’m the only one I know in my family and soci...

Definitely this. I know it’s hard to do because it’s not something you like about yourself. It’s incredibly hard. But for me it’s brought a little peace. The right people will see you and love you for...

In a situation like this, I'm humming before I speak (as if I'm thinking about my words), then link my words together and talk in short bursts....

Sounds like "a block", yeah. Most all stutterers probably have that. Have you tried gesturing with your fingers/hands when it happens, so people know you've got something to say? At any rate, you co...

I actually agree with you, to paraphrase a famous PWS therapist (I don't remember his name, maybe it was Van Riper) "stuttering is everything we do to avoid stuttering"....

This. Accepting your stutter and talking about it with the people around you was the best thing I could do back in my 20’s. Once you I did this, the pressure when talking goes away and even if you fee...

Don't let a stutter define who you are. Giving it total control on how you approach situations/people isn't going to make it go away. For the talking to girls problem, it doesn't matter how "embarrass...

Two words my friend. Embrace it. I know this can be very hard. It took me 27 years to embrace my stutter. No one cares about it man. No one cares about your stutter. I used to repeat conversati...
