If you stutter just blame it on "new dentures". They'll understand....

I remember jobs when answering with a script was mandatory- no word changing or editing. I got in trouble at one restaurant job for major word changing. I didn't have the stones to say: "you know ho...

I just took a long deep breath. What usually happens is after I catch my breath I try again where I left off and I still continue to block. Sometimes I would start my whole sentence but then I find my...

I used to have a speech therapist. As a kid I would stomp my foot or clap my hands to get myself to stop blocking. She taught me to stop doing that but recently it’s been starting up again. Sometime...

I think it's more the anxiety of knowing you have to say a certain word or sentence that you're going to stutter on, but rather than tell the person what you want to say, you just play it off like you...

Some experience with mild/medium stuttering

Some experience with mild/medium stuttering Hi! In my daily life, I speak another language, not English, but my experience with stuttering is probably similar to many people here. I struggle with cer...

I’ve always struggled with vocabulary and word choice (I don’t always make sense when speaking even though I know what I’m trying to say and tend to blank mid-sentence on what word to use). I’ve been ...

I'm quite bad at 'filtering' how I deal with my stutter. I use substitutions a lot, and reasonably often come up with an alternative mid stutter, take it, and immediately regret it because it didn't f...

Who else can relate?

Who else can relate? Who else pretends to forget what they were going to say when they feel that they’re gonna stutter?...

That's fair, I definitely have to be careful who I do it around. Can't really say fuck words all the time at work, so I just drown out my stutters with a drawn out "uuuhhhhhmmmm" like hitting reset o...

Csnt say I've tried that. But I don't recall ever really stuttering on swear words. That said - I'm trying to reduce the amount I swear. The people I hang out with now aren't the swearing kind I hun...

Even with the fancy "I dont want to talk to anybody" ordering devices, they still messed up my order. Guess who had cheeseless McChickens for lunch and so wanted to complain about it?...

I used to also use some filler words to initiate my speech! and I kept on using that crutch until I realized the reason I would tend to struggle at the beginning of speech because I put unnecessarily ...

Currently I'm reading Lee G Lovvet's book and found few helpful advices how to go around first feared sound. You can simply skip first letter or syllable and people either won't notice or care. Surel...

Congrats on the new position - bravo! I understand where you are coming from on the introducing yourself part, it sucks, i know :( During your on-boarding, will you have a trainer or someone who you w...

at times, the stutter will happen when I know I need to say my name out loud (ie. going around a table and saying your name, ice breaker, next person to shake hands with/introduce yourself with, etc)....
