My issue is making me want to lock myself and never speak to human beings I never used to stutter not in English nor my mother tongue.. recently I’ve been stuttering, repeating myself, wrong grammar, ...

Does anyone else have an "optimal speaking rhythm"?

Does anyone else have an "optimal speaking rhythm"? When I was younger, my mom used to tell me to try tapping my thigh if I started stuttering. It didn't make sense to me then, but after speech therap...

"I'm sorry, I think the phone is breaking up"

"I'm sorry, I think the phone is breaking up" I've had this happen to me so many times when I'm on the phone (including five minutes ago when I was trying to make a haircut appointment), and I mean my...

Looking at places that don't require customer service (e.g. warehouse, factory etc.) might be good BUT getting somewhere where you do have to talk could help you a lot. When I got my first job at a sm...

In addition to what /u/Thorius04 already wrote, I can add these remarks: - First off, if we start substituting, we often need to start thinking of different phrasing or different sentences altogethe...

Hey man, i just recently got my first job at a retail food store. I couldn't even tell you how many applications i handed in, maybe over 20, I'm being dead serious. Every time they would call me I cou...

Thank you for this post. I'm 49, a little older than the two of you and I appreciate your vulnerability. I experienced everything that you have experienced and I agree with the previous comment th...

You have to understand that, nobody cares, expect high school of course, but in adult life, trust me nobody gives a shit about you stuttering, a lot people got their own problems, I learned that nobo...

My techniques : eyes and appreciation of words

My techniques : eyes and appreciation of words Hey. I'm 26 and I experience stutter by phase, but it's getting really manageable. To be brief, I wanted to share with you 3 techniques that really help...

That's happened to me as well. I try to substitute words as I am talking. As for the job interview, I'm pretty sure they thought you were nervous. I learned to disclose my stutter in the job int...

Because it is kind of a downward spiral really. I stutter too and used to do this too, but it won't “heal” or “resolve” anything. You are just going around the problem. You are going to get scared of ...

Just curious since I substitute words and sounds s I get stuck with all the time. Why is it problematic?...

That happens to me too, but not to that extent. I think when you start feeling that you’re going to get stuck, just pause and start the sentence over or just pretend like you’re thinking. This way it ...

Certainly. Stutter is likely to vary a lot. The only "trick" there is to it is to remember that there's variance, and in principle always expect a stutter. Otherwise, I think we get too shocked when ...

Good news mate. It's normal that you're feeling anxious, I've been practicing my stutter by reading out loud and breaking bad habits (Moving your mouth or any part of your body in a weird way while t...

Finally got a job!

Finally got a job! After months of me going back and fourth with myself about getting a job, I finally got one. I've noticed my stuttering getting worse day to day. I'm blocking to a point that I can'...

I hate being misunderstood. It's a deeprooted fear stemming from my stuttering as a cold but it still frustrates me. So I became a writer. At least on paper, I'm absolutely articulate. Lol and today, ...

The Problem With Speech Therapists

The Problem With Speech Therapists This is going to be long. But I want to start off by saying this is not intended to disrespect any Speech pathologist out there. I do understand that you guys have t...

ive mentioned mine to people and i got so mant supportive responses from people ive worked in my nonprofit org with. The only thing is they INSIST on putting me around people and in jobs where i have ...

Umm I dunno that is hard. If you can muster the courage I'd say just speak up even if you stutter. Group interviews must be looking for the person that stands out. If you can Be friendliest most out g...
