I feel the same exact way. I don't use tricks or workarounds any more with strangers than I do with people I'm close to, I just find that I stutter on more words and sounds with them than with strange...

YES! omg I have yet to meet anyone who has this experience too. I am nearly fluent with strangers (most of the time) but have a DRAMATICALLY more severe stutter with family, friends, and significant o...

My twin sister telling me that I was going to be the maid of honor when she gets married, and that everyone attending better clear their schedules because they'll have to be there as long as it takes ...

My story i guess

My story i guess Ive been lurking this subreddit for a while so i guess it’s time to post. Okay so i have stuttered since i was little but it hasn’t really been much of a problem until last year when...

Alright. Well, we all have "social masks", so perhaps the ones you use for non-comfortable situations are further removed than you think. It's really fickle trying to suss that stuff out, because stu...

Like most people that stutter I have little tricks and workarounds that do a terrible job of masking it when I’m suffering from a particularly bad block but I don’t feel that I’m doing these any less ...

I don't get that pattern. Stutter varies in all possibilities (stutter or not with or without comfortability). Are you by any chance using any tricks to avoid stutter when not around people you're co...

I couldn't say my name too. but I kept practicing it. now I can say my name, with just a lil bit of stutter. there are no severe blocks...

I mean obviously I really oversimplified it, it took me over a year to slow down and just it’s really about putting yourself out there I guess like food ordering and such, I remember in seventh grade ...

I respectfully disagree with this. Nobody knows how it works, so why couldn’t it be a subconscious phenomenon which can be improved through autosuggestion? There are also different ways in which a st...

I just became very conscious about keeping my hands by my sides when I start to stutter but the side effect was that mad me stutter more because I was so focused on the fact I was going to do it. So i...

Haha, glad I’m not the only one! I have a bit of a weird uncommon name so I always say “oh, you know I don’t want to waste time spelling it out etc”...

My Starbucks name is Susan! Hahahaha. When my friends asked me, I told them "I don't want strangers knowing my name" lol. So now they all use it because they think its a life hack. There are crowds of...

It can happen that things we pretend stop being useful (perhaps because we get to used to them). Careful that you're not just adding an overhead to your stutter (like with secondary behaviors in gene...

What ultimately helped me the most is to not stress out about it beforehand, don’t try to not stutter and just take your time in saying all the words properly. Speech therapy did nothing for me. Edit...

When I focus on the person and the conversation my stutter disappears. When I do have a block, I stop, breathe and carry on....

I started stuttering when I was 6-7 years old. I always had mild to medium stutter and now I'm 24. After I started reading aloud and practiced meditation, my stutter has reduced drastically. Need a pr...

Thank you. It's a really nice idea, thank you for letting me know about it. It will definitely make a difference. Because it's really difficult to hide my stutter. Thank you so much, I really apprecia...

I will follow this idea of making a script. I don't. The thing I do sometimes is to talk very slowly and I figured it will get boring if I talk like that, so I stopped. Thank you for this. I really ap...
