When your stutter forces you to reject a brilliant Christmas gift... Hey everyone, I'm sorry that my first post is a vent but I just have to get it off me. Oh and English isn't my first language, so p...

Oh my gosh I am guilty of this-- I have very severe ADHD and I have to actively stop myself from "helping" with the word. Now that my stutter is so bad I can see the other side of the road, and I real...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I've been trying so hard to reinvent myself and get out of my shell because my future relies on me being outgoing and charismatic, I can't be that if I harbo...

Sometimes I like when someone finishes my sentence off. It really does remove the hassle of blocking even more and embarrassing myself....

Same here man :( but I'm practicing deep breathing exercise, I usually block at the start of a conversation so I try to mumble songs before I start my sentence, it helps in diverting my mind....

I hate it when i block and then people try to guess the word that i wanted to say! And worst thing is they usually get it wrong and I'd have to repeat myself. Like damn just wait a lil bit i got i don...

Just a little support is all it takes

I'm lost.

I'm lost. Hey guys, I've got a question for you, I'm 17 and the next year i'll be in university in a whole different country. And the entire project relies on me working 20 hours a week to pay for my ...

It’s crazy how we can anticipate stutters coming a few words ahead. I’ve gotten good at changing words or my sentence structure on the fly. I also talk when I’m by myself. I’ll rehearse conversations...

Thanks for sharing. I TOTALLY do the same thing when I feel a block coming. I pretend to forget the word, or I’ll change the word on the fly. It usually works decently. I don’t do it because I’m embar...

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like our stuttering is pretty similar. Generally mild but the flare ups can be bad. I know when I’m nervous or on the spot mine gets worse. I’m sick of settling for copin...

Did you mean midwife or? Also, I really understand where you are coming from. I have had instances under extreme pressure that I speak fine abruptly....

>Yes I do occasionally stutter and even I can spot biden's bullshit as he's playing the victim... He could have easily said "I met a kid with a strong stutter who said.." but he decided to make a f...

Yes I do occasionally stutter and even I can spot biden's bullshit as he's playing the victim... He could have easily said "I met a kid with a strong stutter who said.." but he decided to make a fool ...

My wife usually orders but if I'm solo I've yoga strategy to make it easier. I just wrote it in another post too but If I'm starting to talk with a person at work or ordering food or anything. I start...

Mate I have a really good strategy. I have a very well rehearsed "high how are you?" if you you struggle with H sounds maybe find a different greeting that's easy to say for you. If I'm starting to t...

This is why in new classes I always sit in the back near the door. I've bailed on several occasions....
