The Acquaintance Stage (First Post)

The Acquaintance Stage (First Post) Throughout high school I was very anti-social due to my stutter. I would avoid all opportunities to talk, after 4 years at the same school most of my class mates st...

Me, i do not stutter at all during presentations(given that im prepared), but when i talk to ppl, i stutter sometimes, i kinda have it under control but i still do from time to time....

Hey! Sorry for the insanely late reply. I think presentations in general, whether in front of the team or in front of your classmates, are always anxiety inducing. We also have clinical practicals in ...

When I had to give a presentation i talked to my teacher before hand and she said she’d mark me differently to everyone else and to just not be bothered about what other people say about my stutter...

First off, good on you for even trying this. When I was in high school I avoided speaking in front of people and it wasn't until a year or two out of high school that I opened up and started to talk...

A source of most of my stuttering is being nervous and thinking about stuttering. One thing that helps me is really concentrating on relaxing when I talk and taking my time....

Oh ok, then you might want to just prepare headlines, so like when you're presenting prepare your slideshow or whatever you're presenting, and make sure you have the main ideas on there, and always ha...

While I appreciate the positivity of this post I think you fail to realize some people’s stutters are massively outside this scope. It’s not as simple as just “stay calm” and “talk slowly”. It’s a lot...

Most people who stutter, the stutter comes from the anxiety before starting to speak. So usually things that are scripted are easier to do. What helped me out was that, i used to listen to songs and t...

No matter how hard I try I cannot stay calm while speaking, especially in front of my class, not so much with my friends/family It’s like as soon as I start speaking I cannot take a breath unless I s...

It hasn’t helped me yet in regards to my speech, cause when I get nervous I still get the really chesty breath and sound like a glitched out robot, but it’s generally supposed to help to reduce anxiet...

If I'm speaking to certain people, mainly store clerks (say I'm ordering food) and I get stuck, it often feels like I get a look of complete horror. Like they'll get caught completely off guard and no...

Do people look at u like you’re slow when u stutter? Even speech therapists?

Do people look at u like you’re slow when u stutter? Even speech therapists? I work in healthcare and although I hide my stutter I do tend to slip up once in a while and whenever it happens people loo...

I sound like a motivational public speaker when no one is around and then when in public I turn out to be timid. ...

You're like me, my stuttering is caused by anxiety and lack of confidence. When I'm feeling really good about myself, I don't stutter at all. The longest I've gone without stuttering is about a week....

For me it's like whenever I am relaxed or in a place where I don't have any expectations, I stutter less. Probably because anxiety reduces ! Regarding you second question, I just remember the last f...

You will stutter during the interview. It's ok. Don't fight the anxiety. It's ok to be anxious. Here are some tips: 1. Let the interviewer know that you stutter. 2. Focus your answers on three reason...

I’m usually pretty quiet on groups of people I’m not 100% comfortable w and they probably see me as quiet and socially awkward when I just don’t want to stutter in front of them...

Have a job interview Wednesday... Thinking about canceling

Have a job interview Wednesday... Thinking about canceling I'm currently in my second year of college. I realized that I needed to start getting some experience to put on my resume for after I graduat...

I’ve never seen a stutterer in my life! But I wouldn’t approach them. It’s like you are paralyzed and see another guy on a wheelchair. Doesn’t make sense to start a conversation about an unfortunate d...
