That's not unnatural, I bet most people won't even notice it (unlike stuttering)....

Mine is Anthony. I shortened it to Tony to get it out easier. It’s still hard to say Tony 😭😂...

My name used to start with a vowel too and I stuttered pretty bad on it. Finally I literally got my name changed....

I don't really care about the original cause of stuttering nowadays. I see stuttering as a bad habit, that we've learnt for some arbitrary reason. This is like stepping into a nail - you will limp lon...

Focusing on the exact words won't be as fruitful (pun intended) as focusing on when you stutter on these words. What environments do you stutter on words like apple?...

I'm glad to hear you reduced your dependence. My worry is when we save tricks for "when we really need them", it's in those moments that these habits get reinforced the most....

Bad trick. You're training a behavior that introduces unnatural speech habits. And like all other tricks, they'll work sometimes not other tines, but you'll be stuck with this unnatural new that is ha...

I agree, but the question is how would we break the habit? Other habits can be stopped like smoking by just stopping. But we can't just stop stuttering...

Thanks for the elaboration. It's clear now where I think the flaw is located. So, to start with - I'm not afraid. I know a lot of people are, though, and that's very important to remember (we certain...

Fear holds you back from saying what you want to say, when you want to say it, without hesitation. I don’t know if your stutter is mild or whatever it may be, but your goal shouldn’t be fluency. I’d b...

Thank u for ur advice! Fake it till u make it has been the philosophy so far so hopefully it works, age often brings more confidence as well!...

A little trick I found

A little trick I found I stutter a lot on vowels. However if they are after a consonant, I usually spell the vowel with the consonant. For example "I got injured yesterday". I say it like this "I go t...

I believe stuttering is mainly a bad habit. I've read somewhere, that Colin Firth "learnt" how to stutter, before he was in the movie "King's Speech" and it was very hard for him to unlearn that after...

You are fresh into the work force, it’s very competitive out there and at the end of the day you need to look out for yourself. There is that saying “fake it til you make it” and there is nothing wron...

Fluent speakers stammer or even stutter on words especially when giving long explanations and even when speaking, the only difference is that you capitalize on it. A fluent speaker wouldn’t think twic...

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don’t have a traditional stutter but I stammer my words a lot. As of late, I’ve had difficulty fluently transitioning from word to word and it’s heightened the mo...

Very helpful! especially point number 2, I often find my self doing this not necessarily on purpose, pausing to avoid a block and it ends up making the story much more dramatic and engaging...

I took mine through school and haven’t found much help but honestly if she really likes you she wouldn’t care for how you talked. (And 9.5/10 I’ve found that all girls think a stutter is cute) so don’...

I feel that’s the beat way to approach it, just be up front about it. Welcome and thanks for the helping out....

Indeed. It's about achieving the purpose of the communication. Anything else is just details surrounding that point, and we should focus on the main thing. :)...
