Stop doing this. Stop lying and switching around words. Say what you mean, and stutter if you feel it coming. Doing this will re wire your brain to not react to stuttering; while avoiding your stutter...

Many times because of stuttering. Exactly the same example you gave...

For me, when I have trouble saying something or stuttering, I usually find a longer way to describe something. For example, if I was in your case, having trouble saying a movie like terminator, I'll t...

I, too, have been put in many situations where I try to ignore what someone told me to build the courage to possibly say it right the second time around when they ask. I’m sure you know how frustratin...

It happens out of reflex from time to time since I used to do it a lot more when I was younger. I'm trying to stop that habit regardless of how difficult it might be to get the right words out sometim...

This was good advice, man. The key is to find the right girl, but I’m not going to rush myself on it. It’ll happen whenever it does. Sometimes I let my thoughts get ahead of myself. Thanks again!...

I lie about innocuous things in that way. Sometimes I just feign ignorance, in your example I'd do something like "I forgot the name, it about a time travelling robot" or something....

I had similar situations back in school and my tricks were to be occupied with something else prior the calling (but still half-listening) - for example small talk with friends (if possible), acting l...

Couldn't you have written the word somewhere? It sometimes helps getting it out of the way, in order to continue. This is also one of the cases where substitution can come in handy, I suppose. I don'...

Stuttering isn't mechanically tied to confidence, so don't worry about that. :) And it's not something you "train away", as if it was the act of speaking you were bad at and needed to improve somehow...

My advice is to try to find a job where there will be talking but it will not be the main thing your work depends on. I started working as an analyst. TBH I just knew good Excel and to work with numbe...

I'm sorry you experienced this. I've had a severe stutter all my life and recently managed to reduce it to just a mild stammer. My first job was at McDonald's and I remember they would always put me o...
