I worked at a call center for a few years. I have a moderate stutter, it mostly comes in the form of blocks, and few repetitions. What I can tell you about my experience in that work environment is...

YouTube Does anyone else have Intrest in starting a YouTube channel but they’re letting their stutter hold them back? It’s just me? oh okay 😂😂 All jokes btw. I’m actually confident in myself but I...

I think you and I have a similar stutter. I’m able to hold it generally well most of the time, mostly by acting like I’m trying to think of the next word while I’m really either searching for a new wo...

Shared this on other social media to really highlight the preparation it can take for someone who stutters to do something as basic as introducing yourself to others. It’s hard AF sometimes, but it c...

As someone who has given many presentations all throughout college, it helps to be up front about your stutter so that people have a chance to understand beforehand. I usually started most presentatio...

I’ve never found school speech therapy did anything. It taught me some basic things to speak if I’m stuck or something but i still stutter years after finishing elementary school. And I hate feeling l...

ordering at drive thru

ordering at drive thru have you ever changed your order to something you did not originally want because of a block you felt was incoming. That is the worst i hate myself after that. so you just end u...

yeah i know its so weird that we can "feel" when a block is coming. yes i usually also switch words or try to phrase it in another way and sometimes i found it helpful to swear and say the word immedi...

I’m stuck

I’m stuck I’m a graduate with a good degree and I need a job ASAP. However, the only work experience I’ve had is at a restaurant I worked at when I was 17 - which I got let go from (had crippling anxi...

Right, that's why I mentioned it. As long as it doesn't get "compulsive". - --- - _Moved from above:_ Just to be sure - in case you hadn't considered it before: > I’ll usually switch words to...

Yeah, full on blocks are seldom enough that I’m okay using an evasive technique every now and again...

I’m not sure I get what you’re asking. Are you asking how my (a stutterer) brain works? I have no idea. For all I know, it’s some sort of magical grey organic computer that generates electricity. ...

This. I’m almost offended by all the stuttering articles out about it now. Feels like a cop out....

I hadn’t heard of his stutter until after the debate. It almost felt like a cop out....

Seconded. The best way (I’ve found) to fluency is to slow down and practice moving from sound to sound. Then slowly increase speed. Secondary behaviours can definitely become compulsive. I’ve thrown ...

Oh yeah I don’t think you’re wrong there. I didn’t mean to sound puppyish, it’s still hard as fuck and it’s something to contend with every day. Some days are better than others. And you’re right, all...

This exactly is my problem. I've been speaking English all my life and I think I'm even starting to overcome my stuttering in English. But when it comes to my native language I find it so difficult to...

Yep. Makes total sense. I did "help" him finish while I was ordering my food since he was confirming what I had already said to him. In other situations, it definitely seems better to wait and let the...

A year or so ago I started to learn German. But once I started trying to talk to my friend in German, I realised I stuttered really badly in German. And it was really had because I couldn't pronounce ...

Maybe this comment was downvoted, because many stutterers actually don't want to change and make excuses, like "stuttering is incurable" or "this or that method is not scientific enough to try it". It...
