I could speak fluently for 6 days (So there is hope for you!) Here's a bit of hope for my fello stutterers. I am a stutterer, and I get blocks very very regularly. But last year, I had a week of pure...

Anyone else afraid to Uber alone because of your stutter? Or scared to check in to hotels so you get Airbnb’s?

Anyone else afraid to Uber alone because of your stutter? Or scared to check in to hotels so you get Airbnb’s? I’m surprised I haven’t seen any posts about this on here. I feel like I’m the only one. ...

Thank you! That is the exact kind of advice that I was looking for. Ps I also agree with your point on novelty. Over the years, I’ve tried a bunch of techniques that work in the beginning and the effe...

Keep talking fluently alone as much as you can. 20-30 minutes a day is good. The more we can reinforce the fluent part of our brain the easier it is to talk fluently with others. Then, try to use th...

Same with me. I adopted a "I don't give a 💩 attitude" and once I stopped fighting it, my fluency improved. Plus, I stopped ruminating and just focused on my daily activities....

This happened to me a lot in high school. I would know answers to questions, but not say anything in fear of stuttering and being laughed at....

Panic attack at the post office.

Panic attack at the post office. Went to the post office, 1 till open, there was a short line infront of me. No worries. I wrote everything on my package- it was international so I had to pay for spec...

Need some advice

Need some advice So I've been going to clinical speech therapy for a few months now. I'm about 70% stutter free in the clinic and at home. Problem is, every time I'm outside at work (very friendly env...

It is typically in our best interest to find a way to mention it but never apologize for it. If we stress out trying to hide it and imagine judgement, we will likely stutter more and use avoidance tr...

I think what works in such a situation might be very subjective. As in depends on the person. What helped me a little is trying to do small things what make me feel good about myself. In my case strik...

Like I said, most already know it and use it on a daily basis. I just try to order something else first and then quickly transition to the main food. Of course it doesn't always work as some words ar...

I feel you. I agree that it is less of a deal now. I have stuttered my whole life, Im so fed up with it. I often dont care if I sound or look like im about to have a stroke when talking. Im so sick of...

For years I ordered the same at McDonalds. They had numbers back then for each menu, which helped at least to order anything. I picked the number which was the easiest to say. One time I was so angr...

Hawaii pizza instead of Vesuvio.

Hawaii pizza instead of Vesuvio. When I was younger, around 18, I would order a Hawaii pizza EVERYTIME instead of the Vesuvio which was the one I acually wanted. Just because I couldnt say Vesuvio. x)...

If you I wanted to say "Follow me" and couldn't articulate the whole word in one go, i would spell it "F-O-L-L-O-W' This worked for me....

I would have been all over oxygen. Especially if you drop an "it's" before it. The plosives and 'sh' that get me. I know the feeling though! I order iced lattes with "vanilla syrup without the sugar" ...

To me – when I speak in another language I try to think a lot more before I say things and that can helps with the stutter, if I already know what I want to say and avoid the letters I can‘t get out, ...

Oh my god I hate it when that happens. When people say pass and they don’t stutter and I’m like what the helI take advantage of your speech😂. But yeah, I say pass when I get the chance too!...

When I used to get called on in school or at work to read something long, I would always just say "pass". You wouldn't believe how many other people began doing the same even though they didn't stutte...
