I hated them in college. The worst (and laziest) ones were introducing ourselves and something like “tell us the worst thing you’ve eaten” and then the professor would go student by student. By the ti...

Are you from US? I have never had to do even a single icebreaker in my 5 years of university (Europe). It's puzzling to me that they are so common in colleges......

Yeah I don't want to feel like the unique guy with a rare disability on the first day of the class....

Ugh. I feel for you. I graduated college last year and i’m so damn glad I never have to do another ice breaker....

it doesn’t really make sense to do in college. icebreakers in high school i can kinda understand but no one in college really cares...

Oh I hate ice breakers. Especially in college. I do not care who the other 30 people in class are....

Lol, I hate icebreakers too. I always make sure to privately tell my professors on the first day after class that I have a stutter. They usually understand! Though sometimes I'm public about it when I...

What makes that so awful is knowing everyone in the class is looking at the paragraph as you read and would notice any word substitutions....

We use to go up and down the rows when I was in class and take turns reading a paragraph from our text books. What made it worse for me was just watching it closer and closer too my turn coming. I’d f...

You should mention to the class “hey I have a stutter” so they understand you...

hello, 27M here 👋🏼 high school was rough for me as well, even to the point where one time we were having a class debate and one of my English teachers literally docked me (and my team) points becaus...

that's the worst way for a teacher to handle someone's speech block....

This is the reason why I skip the first class of every semester. I can't say my name without a heavy block and if there is a crowd of students, things are even worse....

I don't recommend you to drop it. I got extremely anxious and dropped it and now I feel like shit. I thought I would feel relieved but instead I feel like a coward and get worried thinking about the d...

I have found that when hitting a block is to stop talking. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly then try again. I've had my share of really bad stuttering blocks and they can be quite demoralizing f...

>and theres still no solution to speech disorders. That's simply not true. Some of us have found effective therapies that helped us achieve fluency. ​ > they have shit for depressi...

tomorrow I start the second year of high school

tomorrow I start the second year of high school I wanted to know how you got through high school, and if you can, tips on how to get along better with friends, girls, and have a better social life in ...

Ah, that makes sense. Some of the teachers i had in middle school and high school left a lot to be desired… it sounds like your teacher is dumb. I would try not to internalize it (i know it’s difficul...

I once tried to answer a question in a class full of students, the block wasn’t voiceless but more like stutter and choke, not load though, for 3-4s, anyway the teacher just ignored me and said: can s...

I feel you on that bro. Hate when I stutter even when talking to the people I’m most comfortable with. Glad I’m graduating college this semester....
