I've had a stutter my whole life, and had this same issue, but just reading the title of this post breaks my heart. I was at a magic show once in Atlantic City when I was a kid and he brought me on st...

I'm new here - any similar stutterers?

I'm new here - any similar stutterers? Hey there! I've been stuttering for about 16 years, and have been told time and time again that stutters don't normally go away - you just learn to work with it....

Man I I feel you dude I remember being a kid and not stuttering much at all I didn’t even know I had a stutter then idk why the fuck but I started to stutter more as I got older then people started to...

Honestly I’d rather them message me knowing I have one just so I don’t have to deal with the rejection of them saying they don’t have an interest in me because of my stutter...

I've had it too many times..unfortunately. And most of the time after they say something like this I somehow push out my name, tell about my stuttering and then there's this super uncomfortable pause ...

Hi, first of all I apologize fir my english. My stutter started around that age, maybe 6 y/o. It was very difficult for me to talk, I had to go to speech doctor, and eventually I could "manage it" mor...

Something that's helped me is being the one asking the question. I normally just start by saying "I didn't catch your name, I'm Nikhil." Definitely helpful for me. Even if you do get a bit stuck, it ...

Ye man why is it about the name, its always been about the name. I can't say mine infront of people but sometimes it works when I use yours bcs it feels more of a choice when you can say your first an...

That's nice! Idk why but in my case I'll stutter even when talking to myself. I just have a really hard time trying to express my thoughts and to translate them into words sometimes just feel impossib...

I don't know if this will work for you, but I have the exact same problem and what works for me is saying my first and last name. Most of the time, I stutter when I introduce myself with only my first...

Sometimes I alter the pitch and tone of what I am saying ever so slightly. Or pretend I am in a very VERY good mood. (Bonus: sometimes I actually get in a better mood by doing just that). I am all t...

One thing that really works for be is putting words I can say in front of whatever j get stuck on. For instance when I get a call at work I’ll answer with”hello my name is Rudy how can I help you.”. I...

I talk really fast as well but I'm trying to slow down. She may have noticed but she just doesn't care, I guess....

All I can say is breath before starting a word or drag the word like "Heeeellllooo".see If that works. I stutter too. Been trying to prevent my female friend from knowing that I stutter whenever we ta...

Wow. I don’t mind trying this at all. And now that I think about it (I’m trying the accent at this very moment btw), I find that I’m slowing down my words and “dragging” them out. Hmmm...you might be ...

I had a massive hang-up about this when I first started in the military. As an aircraft mechanic a huge part of my job is calling in discrepancies reported by aircrew to the Ops Center over a radio n...

As other people are saying, do "practice" and "drills" that involve your confidence and speaking with other people. Calling a store or restaurant and asking simple questions about the items on sale or...

When you have to answer the phone at work...

When you have to answer the phone at work... It’s the worst feeling in the world. Especially when you can’t get the initial greeting out. Or you can barely respond to their questions. Or worse of all,...

The more comfortable you are about it, the more comfortable they will be. If you're not in a good mental space to be comfortable right now, making a joke about it is the quickest way I've found to bre...

Sometimes I find speaking in a very cool low voice with a somewhat quick tone helps me overcome letters I usually stutter on. If I "prepare" for the difficult word too much, it actually makes it worse...
