My first name starts with “E” and the only thing that works for self introductions is to say “My name is E.....”. I’d say it works 99.9% of the time. The extra words act like a “runway” for me....

Agreed. I don't think it is necessarily the letter that is hard. Rather, it's your memories of previous bad experiences involving the letter....

Experiment with adding other sounds before the e. For example say heasy instead of easy. Then work alone to pronounce the h less and less. But as I always say on this sub, e is especially hard for y...

While ordering i always specify exactly what i want. It gets bad when something unexpected comes up like: "we're out of potatoes can we bring you something else" i then struggle...

Don't blame god (man in the sky???) for your neurological issue. ACCEPT IT, then move on with your life man. You're world view needs a change and you need to get in touch with a speech therapist and l...

I don't know if this will help, but personally when i changed my view on stuttering it really helped me. I don't look at it like im cursed, its just an extra thing that i have to deal with. Try to acc...

I lived in Mexico for 2 years (I’m American) and I do stutter in Spanish a lot more than my English. I think it’s because with speaking a second language like Spanish you have to think of the words mo...

I have the same thing! I think it may take a while to develop a stutter in a different language because at first, you don’t think in that language, you’re translating it to your native language in you...

Stuttering in different langages

Stuttering in different langages I am french and I've been struggling with my stutter since I am 8. I noticed I wasn't stuttering when speaking another langage (for example in English class). Currentl...

I do the exact same thing knowing that im not the only one that does this makes me happy and no longer scared to talk :]...

I do the same thing. When I started dating my wife, she even mentioned on the second or third date how she was impressed by my vast vocabulary....

Share a common interest, rather than starting with your name. Comment on something happening at the party. It might start up a conversation. They’ll ask you for your name later. Hopefully, you are cal...

I do this too! What sometimes I might have to do (like with proper nouns) is rephrase the sentence so I’ve got a word I can say before the word I can’t. (eg. instead of orchestra plays their songs I m...

I pride myself on being able to find almost any synonym to avoid stuttering on certain trouble words (especially words starting with vowels). The worst are proper nouns- there’s no way of getting arou...

Are you a walking thesaurus?

Are you a walking thesaurus? When I talk I legitimately think several words ahead, and when I know a word is coming up that doesn't treat me well, I will flip in a synonym. I can usually do this on th...

I used to be. If I had to do it I'd have to go into a different room and close the door and it would be quite stressful. Now it's still uncomfortable but I can do it. Even in front of other people if ...

Yeah I definitely think having a stutter does make me less social than I would be if I didn't have it, but I am a extrovert by nature so I am lucky in that regard....

I'm 15. It fucking sucks. People have said they don't notice it but I see their faces when it looks like I forget my own name. I see how you look when I start to make a joke and it takes 30 seconds to...

Fate has tricked me in more ways than one. You never know. And ahhh that's the worst. I used to order something on the menu that would be easiest to say, rather than what I really wanted to eat....

Yes. It was always there just not noticable unless ya looked for it. I was well known in the amateur acting for a while and well fate has other plans with me. Oooh yeah i understand. Its horrible an...
