Help... So this is the situation. I can speak perfectly fine at home in front of my family and barely stutter. But, when I am in social situations with strangers, my stutter comes up. Also, when I'm g...

That’s very interesting, I could see that happening to myself as well. I’ve found that when I try to explain heavy philosophical concepts (I study philosophy) to others, I tend to explain them very fl...

Who says I'm disbelieving or teasing u . I just got suprised with the theory that says the stutterers r narissitc in two ways. It really blow my mind and I asked u the sources not to question ur infor...

Introducing myself in a group setting

Introducing myself in a group setting Hey guys, I’ve started university in Dublin (Trinity College) about 3 weeks ago I’ve been having an amazing time so far. I’ve obviously had my ups and downs with ...

I know most people wouldn't care about my stutter. That's not really what discourages me. What discourages me is the fact that I'll never have as much fun as I would being fluent. I can't crack spont...

Of course you would. Hot date? Nah I’m gonna have anxiety. Ask a question in class? Nah I’m gonna look stupid. Give a speech for my brothers wedding? Nah I’m gonna embarrass myself. If stuttering...

I really hate this argument to be honest. No, I wouldn't have other excuses. My only excuse is my stutter....

If you didn’t stutter you would have some other excuse for it. Maybe it’s a personality issue rather than your stutter....

Stuttering is discouraging me from doing fun things

Stuttering is discouraging me from doing fun things I just don't even see the point in leaving my house anymore. - After work drinks with colleagues? Nah, I'm gonna stutter. - Spontaneous date with a...

I have my own opinions on stretching but definitely do not do the humming thing. You're introducing more unnatural junk behaviors into your speech that might work at first and then fail other times. T...

I'm a Manager in a large tech company and wanted to weigh in here. I agree that stuttering makes the small talk very tough and awkward. Hands down. Please remember that other people have it tough t...

That's hilarious even though I probably did it many times before without realizing it. Saying bless you is much harder for me then thanks....

All the time. I’m never able to say bless you also. I always think people are going to think I’m rude for not saying anything...

This is what I remember my speech therapist telling me: A stutter is characterized by disfluencies that make up 10% or more of your overall speech. 10% obviously being a very minor one. The range is ...

Same thing happens to me on occasion. Sometimes I’ll do a fake cough or sometime lol. My stuttering kinda comes and goes for months at a time...

I had the same issue. I have to talk on the radio at work and all of a sudden I started getting worse. So I started using easy onsets and practicing with my wife at home (simulating radio chat) and t...

Please don't avoid words or speaking situations. All forms of avoidance will feed your anxiety. A better way of dealing with blocks would be to learn easy onsets to prevent blocks from occurring, or ...

Yes, me too, I use easier words and I take a deep breath and on the exhale, I begin speaking....

Hey, yeah I have had issues with job interviews. Had an interviewer hang up on me once because he thought the connection was bad when in reality I was blocking. We have good and bad days and honestly ...

Yes, my own name (Dylan) but with the technique I have learnt, it has worked wonders. I’ve been on the programme almost a year and I’ve realised it’s more situational, for me anyways, being on the spo...
