Believe it or not, I made a habit of putting Bs in front of words. It only made my stutter worse....

As a kid I used to pronounce words differently and take all kinds of shortcuts to stutter less but now I prefer to stutter actually. I don't have to repeat myself as often....

Hahaha this hit close. I once told the guy from Wendy’s that I wanted the son of the bacon cheeseburger. Because I was stuck on the J on Jr. for a Jr. bacon cheeseburger....

I joke around with it, “lol sssssorry just turned into a sssssnake for a ssssec” Only to people who know about my stutter though haha...

Do I understand it right that you could choose between either creating powerpoint slides without having to talk or having to talk without creating slides? In that case: Don't stress yourself out, don...

I get stuck on T. My name starts with T. So I try getting around it by starting with “My name is”, well guess what, I get stuck on M. I can’t beat life....

I find that chaining words together usually helps me, so I’ll say something like “my name is Rudy” it’s not 100% success bc sometimes I’ll be having a bad stuttering day but for the most part doing th...

I place mobile orders — no talking necessary. However, I do like the idea of just choosing a name that you’re more comfortable saying, like Mark....

I just say a name that's easy, for me its usually Mark. It's not like they check IDs or anything. Just remember the babe you told then...

I do it as well. I didn’t like in the beginning because I was really frustrated I couldn’t say my name even though I really wanted to but it just spares me a lot of anxiety. I‘ll just say my name is A...

My friend (non stutterer) always gives made up names just for fun. He’s a Star Wars guy, so it’s usually Anakin or something like that...

That was me too initially- the improv portion is called Table Topics and it's totally optional - it took me a long time until I felt comfortable enough to volunteer to participate. Many others choose...

Give it a shot - it was probably the single-best thing for my speaking confidence I've done outside of speech therapy. It's a club full of supportive, helpful people. My employer at the time had a g...

Your comment needs to be made into a thread! I have come from not being able to even utter my name to giving hundreds of public speeches and it all became possible because I always refuse to accept m...

Talking on the phone is usually the worst nightmare for anyone who stutters. When you are face to face and you block, the other person can see what's happening and they will wait. If it happens on the...

I like to be all “well TECHNICALLY I’m disabled...” Bc it tends to make people more interested. I just find it easiest to let myself stutter and chill out. It makes conversation easier for me...

Ohh that’s cool, I personally wouldn’t say disabled cause it tends to give people a different view of me so I just try as hard as I can not to stutter...

My stutter is mild and not that noticeable in person any more, unless I'm super tired or run down. But when it comes to the phone? Fuck that! It's 2019, we should be able to do everything via email. M...

I feel ya. When I did speech therapy an activity we did was call stores and ask them what they had (in my case I’m an athlete so I called a Nike store about shoes). The first line was “Hi my name is n...

I'll give that a shot. Wierd thing is that I can it just fine until they're standing in front of me :/...
