I had this convo with my doc not too long ago. She mentioned beta blockers, benzos & anti anxiety medication. Due to my high risk job (I work at heights, near power lines and drive D class trucks) I c...

Recently, I needed to pass English speaking skills exam for my job (it’s not my first language), and I prepared some topics because I needed to lead the convo and ask questions etc. So, we talked mo...

Hey, I need help. (Newbie) So I'm a male teen and have had relatively normal speaking throughout life. I started talking at an early age. I've always had good grammar and pronunciation. But for some r...

Was it hard for you to say your scripted lines? Did you overall enjoy the job? How were people reaction towards your stutter? Could your manager hear you speaking over the phone?...

I worked for apple care for about 6 months. One thing I did that helped was turn the camera on my pc so I could see myself. It didn't work 100% of the time but it definitely improved my fluency. The h...

I'm laughing only because I've been there too. Or if the other person heard a completely different sound come out of my mouth, that's what I'm sticking with. ...

Literally my biggest pet peeve!! I work at a doctors office and constantly get asked my name. It’s so annoying when people say that. I wish I had the guts to say no I have a speech impediment. But I j...

I forgot how annoying it is! I genuinely can't remember the last time somebody said this to me before this. Feels like it used to happen a lot more often, probably because I interact with The Public a...

Yeah this one rolled off me just fine, it just made me realize how long it's been since I've heard that one. I've gotten better at not blocking on my name, and like I said I thought the pause was indi...

Bee through that phase brother! It really suck not being able to say your own name. I have gotten over it now but still sometimes struggle with my last name....

I hate when this happens. Also at the doctor’s office when they ask my date of birth and I struggle getting the words out, “did you forget your birthday?” Do people say this as an automatic defensive...
