Yep I totally considered this. Went to ASL classes as a child too. I totally get it. Talking is frustrating sometimes and there are days that I just don’t....

I go nonverbal sometimes so I've taught myself enough that whoever's trying to get me to talk might think I'm hoh and back off. My big fear is the day the other person will actually know sl and they t...

I think it's because he's not openly stuttering. With stopping in the middle of a sentence and rephrasing it, changing words to - in some cases inadequate - alternatives, he's trying to avoid specific...

Is he really a stammerer tho? I’ve seen him give speeches from decades ago and he seems remarkably fluent even for a recovering stammerer. https://twitter.com/_thecivilright/status/13232425665323745...

When you order something nasty at a restaurant.

When you order something nasty at a restaurant. When you want the double bacon cheeseburger but you can't say "b", so you say club salad....

I kinda know this works because when I play football (soccer) i need to shout and at that point I don’t stutter because I’m completely focused on the game, I guess what I’m tryna say is if you don’t f...

The uhhs between words. I do that too as a filler until I get the word out that I want to say....

That’s interesting and definitely a good follow up point. My take on it is this - don’t reinvent yourself or further this technique into developing some sort of alter ego. Like I said, use it for thin...

I am kind of similar, but I have developed techniques with using extra fillers (“um”, “uhh”), starting sentences with “oh”, replacing words, stuff like that. Without those, it would be so much more no...

Used to work at a sandwich place and would say “thanks so much” after giving out a sandwich. After doing this like a hundred times a day it eventually became second nature and so now when i can’t say ...

Yeah, lots of stutterers report being able to circumvent (more or less) stuttering by pretending to be someone else, or performing so far outside of normal personality that it feels like being someone...

Reasons Stutters Worsen?

Reasons Stutters Worsen? I’ve always kinda had a nervous stutter but I always assumed it was just my mental illness(I have two anxiety disorders). Recently my stutter has significantly worsened. Like,...

I've read in "advice to those who stutter" second edition that substituting words lets you subconciously build up even more fear. Still reading that book, but seems to be a good lecture aswell. It's a...

It depends on how I'm feeling and how my fluency is that day/in that moment. If neither is feeling great, or if I don't feel like working through a block, I'll substitute a word. But if I'm feeling be...

Haven't checked the article, but yes. I have minimised my stuttering greatly. I don't think about it. I simply don't. I just relax myself, take deep breathers before a conversation. w While I speak, ...

Do you still switch words when you feel like a block is coming up?...

Ahh. I see. We also have rear doors. You still say thanks and wave when you’re walking out the back ones. I find it easier to get the Thankyou out that way cause there’s no face to face...

In Eastern Europe, we exit the bus by the rear doors (after we indicated we want to get off at the next stop), so we don't even meet the driver....

I have the same problem with saying thank you (dziękuję in Polish), I usually manage to do it somehow but then I stutter and I feel like weirdo. Try replacing it with other word/words if you can, in m...

Just nod and smile (and open your mouth a little bit as if you'd whisper "thank you" - unfortunately, that part doesn't work with a mask on)....
