Thank you for your advice! But by the way when you first started working at your job and started making phone calls where you super stressed out and nervous? Because I really am. That fear of embarras...

It´s always nice to hear that we are not alone with this everyday shit ; ) I have the same problems as you on the phone at work (I´m a graphic designer). I just can´t immediately say my name or my com...

Definitely practice what you're going to say. Like you, I'm fine if I can substitute words; it's when a word is non-negotiable that I suffer. Practicing helps, though stuttering being what it is, it's...

Afraid to stutter at my new job.

Afraid to stutter at my new job. So I started stuttering when I was a kid in elementary school. At first it was probably a phase. But due to being bullied at school it kinda stuck longer. I eventual...

I'm not any kind of aspiring actor lol and I stutter pretty moderately but one time in high school I was the lead in a skit from a scene in some Charles Dickens novel. Somehow, I was able to speak my ...

Well the root of the anxiety is pretty clearly the stuttering. You stutter worse because you fear that you are going to stutter. I don’t really see how you can just will that anxiety away. What was th...

Haha thanks! But I don't know if this is a good thing. There's this girl I like, but I only talk to her when I'm drunk, I avoid talking to her when sober...

Just got the notification for this. Now I'm on 3 hours of sleep. :D. Anyways, back to the problem at hand. I, personally, think that you're being too hard on yourself. Everyone has rough days where i...

Sure, but I think acting does often produce more fluent speech for lots of stutterers; the linked article basically says as much. That doesn't meant that acting is the *only* time certain stutterers m...

Woah, that's pretty crazy dude. I sometimes wonder if the stuttering is something I have imposed on myself for some messed up psychological reason, sort of like what they are hinting at -- like if I ...

Hey friend, I'm going through the exact same thing. My stutter started slowly unraveling a couple years ago and now it's affecting me at work. I have a psychiatrist, a therapist, and a speech therapis...

Social Phobia, Mental Illnesses, and Stuttering

Social Phobia, Mental Illnesses, and Stuttering http://www.casafuturatech.com/social-phobia-mental-illness-and-stuttering/ I found this article last night and it hit pretty close to home for me. Anxi...

I have so much trouble with people who I think are higher than me like bosses or the alike. I feel you on caring so much. Most people don't care about our stutters but we become so insecure over the y...

That sounds great but I don’t believe ppl ever get rid of their stuttering anxiety completely. Idk, maybe I do need therapy but it’s not what I was looking for in this post. ...

Your describing what is called avoidance and secondary behaviors. They will work sometimes, but your always living with the anxiety when they fail. Now, imagine an alternative life where you don't try...

I’ve tried it before where I tell people that I stutter and bring it out to the open but it only makes it harder for me. My stuttering gets worst. What really helps my stuttering is taking deep breat...

I have a friend who also stutters and even though we never talk about the fact the we stutter, I like to think he knows that I stutter. Us stutters know when a person stutters. Anyways, he suggested...

Nope, the stuttering and anxiety was the same throughout. If anything, I would say it probably got worse because I felt like I built a reputation at this company and people looked up to me for answers...

ya talking in person is easier for me as well. i have a question regarding ur previous job. Did your stuttering get better over time while working at that job with radio? Any difference in your stutte...

I have not been to therapy, but I feel you on this. I just hate how on some days, I can speak so fluently with my friends and family, but on days when I have presentations or when I'm speaking with pe...
