You've perfectly described my stutter, or as you mentioned, more of a block. What I've learnt, is that if I'm talking about something I'm super passionate about. I rarely block, and that's because I...

That sounds pretty nerve-wreaking! There's nothing worse then waiting your turn to speak in front of alot of people. I remember back in school when one teacher made everybody say "present" when they c...

I remember doing speeches and presentations in class, I hated them because I was afraid to stutter. I do like to talk to people and all that, it sucks...

Thank you for your response to my OP, it's really reassuring to hear from fellow stutters that have successfully conquered the dreaded job interview, I really hope that I can post positive messages si...

I had to do a formal debate for class once and my stuttering got terrible because i was so nervous. I love debates and making my point, but the formal one was timed and I was the very last speaker, so...

Welcome to the sub! Congrats on having a positive attitude even in the face of tough situations - we all know that it isn't easy. I hear you on the interview situations. I'm 37m in the software engi...

I think you shouldn't mention it. When I used tinder I had no matches when I stated that I stutter but after I deleted that sentence I got a fair share. However, I didn't go on a date because it reall...

For me, it's been working out, failing to speak fluently and still speaking - because shit needs to get done and I can't live in a shell. I try to build my own startup and requires speaking to people ...

Yeah it’s a great outlet and a place to commiserate with others...not many like us out there. It’s not very severe, I can usually control it and, definitely a “covert” stutterer. As far as dating, I’m...

Don't have great answers to your questions so I'll comment on something related: Mention you stutter right away. Come up with a good line beforehand. My favorite was something like "sometimes I get...

I know exactly the feeling. Most people don't even know that I stutter as it only emerges on more anxious situations. Last month I had an interview through video conference and it was a total disaster...

Dating with a stutter

Dating with a stutter Like many people I use dating apps. A lot of singles don’t like approaching random men/women and asking them out, so the apps help with that along with avoiding possible face to ...

I try and use the “closer mentality” (like a baseball pitcher)....never think about the previous days embarrassing moment and try not to dwell on it. This can be traumatic and cause your stutter to be...

I also struggle. I think my problem is that I'm too rigid and too anxious. I need to breathe and talk slowly......

I hate giving out numbers, when stuttering I often repeat myself - so I have to try really hard NOT to do this with numbers. But still, when I struggle it's just a reflex now. A lot of people get th...

Had a embarrassing moment...

Had a embarrassing moment... I went to the doctor and they asked me my identification. I spelled the first two numbers but panicked and gave them the card itself (which they weren't allowed to take be...

I have problems with seven too. And twenty. And zero. I can be successful if I get a running start at it ( your total is seventeen dollars) or if I prolong the S out a little longer than normal. Somet...

I've tried slowing down and taking pauses. They work when I'm talking to myself or close friends but never when I'm under stress. For example when I'm having an intense conversation with someone no ma...

Anyone else have trouble accepting themself and their stutter?

Anyone else have trouble accepting themself and their stutter? My stuttering was generally ignored by my parents as I grew up. It was minor enough to cover up and be a good quiet little boy. But now t...
