Yup it’s the worst especially the first letter of my name is one I regularly block on. At Starbucks I’m called Marc because I don’t struggle with the letter M 😉...

The biggest thing I have learned over the years (all 50 of them) is to just stop. No matter how hard I would persevere and repeat myself or breathe my way through a block, the only way I learned to ...

My name is short (4 letters) and I can only really shorten it down to three letters, but I could give that a go next time!...

As mentioned in another comment, I'm a regular at our coffee shop (it's a busy one so I can forgive them not knowing my name off by heart), and at least one of the servers know my name so I'd feel a b...

I'm a regular at our coffee shop, I don't think I could give a different name haha. There is one girl who knows my name now and bless her as it makes the whole ordeal much easier!...

Just say your nickname. Will for William, Rob for Robert. Just go by something else and when asked, just say yeah I go by that name. ...

Just for fun & entertainment, the next time you order coffee at a cafe, why not give them a name you can pronounce easily? There is no law that says you can't assume a fake name to order coffee. If ...

I’m the same way. I first try to start with “Yeah, my name is Cody” but if that isn’t working and I’m still struggling, I usually use another name like Matt or Mark. Something that I know I can say at...

Can't say my name

Can't say my name I grew up with a bad stutter, finally getting speech therapy during my teens after the teasing got too much. While the therapy wasn't an immediate success, I took the lessons to hear...

Relapsing to me means giving into secondary characteristics like making faces, closing eyes tight, biting lip, avoiding, hiding repetitions in exchange for blocks, ruminating over scenarios of dysuenc...

I was covert for more than half my life, so 30+ years. I felt like such a fraud all the time, but I thought it was safer than potentially looking stupid, or being humiliated. I lied to myself and trie...

Meh. I stutter pretty bad and I just flat out tell people. Especially when I’m having bad blocks. All my friends know. And people that I see/date often I tell them. Trying to hide it makes me seem ...

My bf doesn’t know about my stutter

My bf doesn’t know about my stutter Hi, I’ve been currently 1,5year in a relationship. It’s going really well. Not only in the relationship but also with hiding my stutter. Of course I’m having bad da...

You are a “stop stutter”? Me too. Honestly I want to be able to go back to the repeated sounds instead of just looking like I’m thinking too hard, or working too hard to talk. (My opinion) I develope...

How can I stutter more gracefully?

How can I stutter more gracefully? I want to gently tap the repetitions so I don’t spit, bite myself, or have my eyes roll into the back of my head. I want to feel comfortable stuttering. Yes. The ki...

I’m speaking amongst my coworkers, but it’s not customer service oriented so less talking than say a retail/food industry job....

Yes, and it sucks because a lot of what I do can be critical. I work on the blue collar side of ExxonMobil. It's literally my dream job. I've worked industrial construction all my life and had a few i...

That's a good question actually. It went freestyle in my mind and i started to type longer than i expected, i'm sorry about it. So here is a short answer, you don't have to read the "brainstorming". A...

I think both! I had that same as you... well for me I had it bad as a child but at around aged 14 it was not too bad, but at sged 20 it got worse when i was told i needed to do a presentation at univ...
