I work on eliminating avoidance behaviors and on trying to let myself stutter on the sound im afraid of. All that helps reduce the struggle and makes communication smoother and easier....

Thanks for your comments! In the past I would ask teachers if I could do verbal/oral assignments 1 on 1 and one time I was allowed to make a documentary (in which I spoke fairly monotonously and tried...

Thanks! That means a lot. There's times where I stutter uncontrollably and it's to the point where I don't even want to talk. Other times it's easier but it's something that's always there. I think i...

I'm bilingual (English and French). I stutter a lot more in French, than I do in English. I started a new job where most of my coworkers speak French. I didn't stutter once while interacting with them...

It's the nature of the beast that you don't struggle when talking to yourself in an empty room. I'm a very severe stutterer on bad days, but totally fluent when talking to myself. My advice would be,...

So long as I'm not reading from the book, I do okay, so the only thing I was avoiding at all was direct reading. This was just a bit of a surprising moment for me, but a pleasant one. I was sure every...

Keep reading the poems in class! When I was in HS I gave several talks in front of my classroom. The first one was the worst, my knees were shaking, it was hard to start talking, I think that I take ...

I know the feeling. I remember finishing a nerve-racking English presentation and feeling extremely confident and energetic afterwards when the class was over ...

I usually block on the first sound of a word. To overcome it I use the technique of elongating it. If I find myself slightly out of breath, I take a deep breath. I used to find doing that might look o...

> How do you incorporate meditation during a social situation? Meditation practice offline helps me stay in the moment, stay relaxed and not let negative emotions get to me. >Do you feel bad at...

Great advice/story, thanks for sharing. How do you incorporate meditation during a social situation? I practice meditation and it works out good with my speech if im talking to people Im comfortable a...

Now it's out in the open. :) Enjoy that freedom man. Good for you though, I'm happy you killed it. You should be more open about your stutter in the future, it's liberating. ...

Hi! Here's my personal anecdote for what it's worth. I had a significant stutter growing up. In 2nd grade I recall having a hard time saying my name sometimes. I grew out of it a bit by 7th grade a...

Doesn't matter if you grow out of it or not as you get older you will stop giving a f so much about it and it will actually make your speech better....

I presented to 7,000 people by way of a smaller studio audience, a live broadcast stream, and two time-delayed streams set for reasonable areas covering our offices in the rest of the world. It wasn't...

I sort of reached this point with the help of therapy (CBT). After a few home assignments (practiced calling, practiced asking strangers on the street and what not) we ended up agreeing I should give ...

That's great! Didn't happen today, but I gave my first college presentation a few weeks ago. It was suppose to be 15 minutes, but I went into 25 and felt awesome! I was a lot less nervous than I thoug...

Hang in there buddy. I was mortified of presentations in school and was extremely miserable whenever I had to. Later on in college, I was in a give-no-fucks phase that immensely helped. I guess we nee...

Are you in school? High school? College? During high school I avoided presentations at all costs, usually by doing alternative assignments or one-on-one presentations with teachers. In college I didn...

We usually stutter more the more we try not to. The best thing you can do is try to get yourself ok with stuttering in presentations (and in general). It's going to happen, you know it is. So you migh...
