Stuttering and Fillers (tip)

Stuttering and Fillers (tip) One of my tactics to largely reduce my stuttering, as much as 70%, is to use fillers. This will not work for everyone, but it will probably help some people. **What are ...

Is what I have considered a stutter?

Is what I have considered a stutter? So I'm not sure if what I do is considered stuttering. Sometimes when I talk there are certain words that just dont come out. The words are never the same either...

I agreed. I have never believed in the speech modification technique and never thought that word substitution was a good idea. It might be counterintuitive, but doing so will only aggravate stutteri...

Same here. I'm nowhere near as good with Spanish as English but I have a wayyy harder time communicating in Spanish due to this. In English it's hard to even pick up I stutter because I can control it...

Yes, I have Block Stuttering too. For me, it tends to become less frequent when I don’t pay attention to what I’m saying, I just let words spill out. But if I’m reading something out loud, or reciting...

I’m the same with Vietnamese. Even though I was born here and my first language was Vietnamese, I know more English because I grew up here (due to school, work, etc). I struggle more in Vietnamese. ...

Be yourself

Be yourself In my opinion it is much better (and simpler) to just say what you want to say and stutter through it, than to be some person you’re not, eating food you don’t want to eat, avoiding many p...

Acquired adult, highly situational stutter?

Acquired adult, highly situational stutter? Hi there, I'm hoping to find others who can relate to this and possibly shed some light on what is going on. I don't recall ever having issues with stutter...

Just commenting here to show my support. I’ve been there as well. It’s incredibly humiliating but hey, every time I quickly add after that that I stutter they all have this guilty and shameful look in...

Couple of remarks here, in the interest of contributing to the perspective sharing: - >**We stopped going** and well, I continued stuttering. I'm now 28 years old. Of course you continued. That'...

Tips, Techniques, and My Experience

Tips, Techniques, and My Experience As a life-long stutterer, it's truly hard to describe the relief to find this subreddit. When I saw it online, my first thought was "wow there's a subreddit for eve...

I do, often with a mild chuckle. 99.9% it's a harmless attempt at humor and if I ever said something about me having a speech issue, they would likely feel horrible. I brush it off whenever possible...

While it is very frustrating (I've been there many times myself), more often than not, they aren't mocking you. They likely don't even notice a speech impediment at all, they likely lack patience in t...

Not being able to say my name is making me very depressed I'm really tired of people treating me like shit because of my speech disability. Just today I was at a resteraunt and placed my order, they a...

I know someone who also only started stuttering at 18. it's rare but not unheard of. Only advice I can give (other than find a *_qualified_* speech therapist who understands stuttering) is to know it ...

Not exactly a reception job, but when I was an intern in the sales division, my boss asked me to memorize a 3-min long sentence of the description of our services. Interestingly, I found it easier t...
