I work at Costco, used to be a warehouse manager and a trainer at a gym called 9Round. Recently finished a coding boot camp and am now looking for work as a web developer. I talk to people plenty, e...

It just seems like a work around. Like yeah if I talk all super slow and slurry I'll speak fluently but who wants to talk like that. I don't think anything can cure a stutter other than brain surgery ...

My dad also stutters and he told me to say something in front, like in your case "the function/position of apprentice". Not relevant anymore but still hope it helps you...

i know. i guess i kinda see it like a gas tank where my tank fills (i.e., i feel happy and fulfilled) when i'm with people that support me and people i can trust. and maybe when that gas tank drains d...

first of all, i'm loving this experimentation process and putting in the effort to find what words for you. that's legit, regardless of how successful it was. to preface what i'm about to say, "the r...

i'm a guy, so haven't been in your shoes exactly. but, i spent the better part of 20 years not being able to consistently say my own name. so, i've dealt with this for my whole life. i used to make up...

Tired of being bullied

Tired of being bullied I’m sick of being bullied. I’m a 15 year old boy in high school, and I’m being bullied constantly for my stutter. There’s one guy in particular who started first, he’s a senior ...

I've been in your son's shoes. One really important thing you have to know is, the more importance you give to a stutter....the stronger it becomes. The more you see it as an obstacle, the more it can...

15 year old here with a stutter that isn't as bad as what your son seems to have. My dad deals with it, I guess. 1. First thing I can say is choose when you finish his sentences. If it's practical, ...

Some folks think that the reason "we" stutter is because we are perfectionists and/or overly sensitive when perceiving these stutters that everybody, including fluent, people have. So, this person ma...

You sound like me. Same symptoms, same thinking behind the cause. Anyway, I've made strides. I credit Toastmasters, Lee Lovett's book (google it), self-confidence affirmations, self-confidence CBT ...

Does he stutter when he is by himself? If not, I would suggest to him that he read out loud by himself every day. It reinforces that he is able to speak fluently, and the hope is that this reinforce...

Your son sounds a *lot* like I was. > He's a happy soul and says no-one mentions it at school Exactly the same for me. At least, nobody spoke about it around me. I'm sure there'd have been times ...

Haha I have had a similar situation with my sisters name. It’s Alice and that aye sounds is a certain blocker for me. I just called her lis 😅 I do this for people close to me, specially when I am re...

Do any of you cold approach women?

Do any of you cold approach women? I'm a lonely college student and it's killing me. I haven't managed to meet any women through clubs or dating apps or anything like that, and my major is heavily mal...

If you love each other like you say you do, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get your words out. Whether it takes ten seconds or even a whole minute pales in comparison to your love. I thou...

Hm maybe you can get around it by saying that letters that follow? I know I couldn’t say “eleven” so I’d just say leven which sounds weird but in the context no one really stops to question it since i...

I feel you. You have options, tho. You could keep your own name, or if you go the hyphen route, that may make his last name easier to say with the lead-in. The s-consonant combo is a tough one because...

Same boat. My GFs first name is easy, but her last name starts with an S. You’ll find tricks to navigate around the blocks I promise :)...
