Depends who it is. My family expects it (my parents). Now that my siblings have moved out, and my friends don't live with me obviously, they all get weirded out when I stutter in front of them. That's...

Stuttering at the Beginning of Talking

Stuttering at the Beginning of Talking Hey Redditors, I'm not a chronic stutterer, but the times when I stutter out of control is when I try to talk or start a conversation. Like, it can be as simple...

I’ve become angry about this at certain points, and the other person had *no idea* why I was mad haha. Trying to explain it is just more torture....

OMG, this is the worst! My joke telling usually falls flat. I assume this is a common trait amongst us. Even if I say it perfectly, I don’t have the faith in my execution to tell it with gusto. An...

Me too. I'm middle aged now, and it's so ingrained a habit that I don't know if I could ever break it....

As a kid I would break eye contact to finish my words properly. I still do it sometimes but I’m working on doing it less!...

This sounds similar to Dr Martin Schwartz’s method. He would say once you get past the first syllable — keep going, you only stutter on the first syllable of a breath. Foot stomping was my go-to cru...

my friend literally had me order for her because she was nervous... and im the one with the stutter...

From my personal experience dwelling for too long on negative experiences creates more anxiety which in turn creates more stuttering which creates more negative experiences... That's a vicious cycle w...

My favorite is when people do this after I stammer (to be fair it's not always meant maliciously, but it still sucks) but they will also tell me that I don't have a stutter if I mention it. Yes I do....

Just a little win for today

Just a little win for today So last Friday I went to a job interview (nothing too prestigious, just a fast food restaurant where I would work during weekends and nights), it was my first interview so ...

Ikr. I cant eat in uni unless i have a friend around. They recently shifted the cafe to the new building. Much fancier. But here u gotta order at one place, take a slip and then go to the other counte...

Thank you for your comment. I agree with most of what you said. I always accept myself, but I never accept the fact that stuttering will always be part of me! Never, and at least to me this mentali...

First, congrats on your new job! The name thing gets a lot of us it seems, it’s awful. I’ve resorted to saying, “ sorry, I stutter” on a few occasions after blocking. Maybe your new boss will facilita...

I use O to start off my words. It sounds weird but it’s better than not being able to saying it...

Good! Thank you, if you remember please let me know how u feel about them. I feel like that, before I had the B-complex I couldnt have the "energy" to speak properly, now I have the energy to speak bu...

Yes. Its had a profound effect, really! Please try buying a B-complex of active Bs.BUT we should know, that, even IF we found a cure, we have been stuttering for so many years that our brains probably...

Starting a new job on Monday, dreading introducing myself

Starting a new job on Monday, dreading introducing myself So after nearly a year of being unemployed, my stutter has gotten a bit worse. I’m starting a full time job on Monday and the part I’m dreadin...

You have to tell the clerk your name or you'll be arrested by the Starbucks police. But really, just give them a name you can say. Don't overthink basic things. Now giving your name in a court of law ...

Have you tried toastmaster? and did you stop talking when you feel your words blocked? I've also tried many methods you have listed, the only method truly that works for me is to just try to talk li...
