Work place question

Work place question Hi, I’ve got a stutter and mild speech impediment (l’s,r’s). How do I navigate that in the workplace? It really hasn’t been that big of a deal till quite recently. I mean, I’ve e...

For some reason, it helps me to make the sound "ah" before a word I'm struggling with. This often results in people having no idea what i just said. "Ah-what?" Not sure if it's a mental problem but y...

"Spit it out" or "Think of what you wanna say before you say it" just makes me give up when I hear things like that. Like yeah I wish it was that easy bro...

I cant do this anymore: introvert with a mind of extrovert

I cant do this anymore: introvert with a mind of extrovert I am 25F and I stutter almost 20y now. My stutter is mid-severe: when I am with my bf or friends/family, I stutter just a little, but in sit...

I agree. I was on them and I felt like a zombie. I've embraced my stutter, I focus on life and not my stutter. The more I do this, my fluency has improved. I still have blocks but I breathe an...

Another repressed memory I just remembered from middle school.

Another repressed memory I just remembered from middle school. This shit is funny. Back in geography class, in 6th grade, the teacher made us read aloud from the textbook. When it was my turn, one of ...

What you guys do in this situation?

What you guys do in this situation? Because of stutter i didn't crack jokes and doesn't make any argument strongly What you guys do?...

Oh yes. The time I recall and laugh about the most was on the word 'Crocodiles'. "Or were you eaten by Croc. Croc..... Croc... Eugh. You know what I'm fucking saying."...

I don't even attempt jokes unless I'm with very good friends. Guaranteed the whole thing will be ruined from set up to punch line. So much of jokes is timing and delivery, two things I am simply inc...

Sure, but then as soon as I've stopped talking, I begin talking once again. I'm not done with what I wanted to say, so I carry on....

I complete the sentence anyway even if the other party (or parties) have lost interest in what I have to say, just to save face. But I have decide to stop talking if I get hung up on the first word an...

Yeah, sometimes the effort to say what I want to say just isn't worth the exertion, so I just give up....

Not at all. I tend to be a pretty funny guy. My stutter ruins about 75% of the jokes I want to say. I'm pretty knowledgeable on my trigger sounds so I run through the joke in my head, see if there are...

Basically me when i know or have that feeling im going to sutter i just dont speak and after i stutter i dont speak for a while....

At 40 i realize i still have issues and it's really held me back in life.

At 40 i realize i still have issues and it's really held me back in life. So stuttering has been a big issue of mine that i want to finally address. I got past stuttering at the noticeable glitch leve...

It happened like many times, many other times I give just a short breif about what I'm going 2 say and thats it. I feel awkward and weird of doing it, but this is me stuttering . Can't change that su...

Interesting discussion. It is definitely part of my identity but not one I particularly want to keep. It's a convenient excuse for what would otherwise be crappy behaviour like avoiding phone calls an...

It’s part of my identity and I accept it, I think it helps make me me. I still try to speak as fluently as I can for the sake of being understood but I can’t always do that and that’s life...

In general NO. My stutter is in no uncertain terms a 'disability', to put it bluntly. But one that is in my control to quite a large extent, hence I feel personally responsible for keeping it in check...

Gotcha, yeah everybody can use public speaking advice. As long as "not stuttering" isn't one of the goals then yes you'll do great helping people...
