Feeling self conscious

Feeling self conscious I told my boyfriend I stuttered and it was the first conversation about it. He told me he didn’t notice but he said that I say “like” a lot. I told him it’s a filler word to hel...

I am 57 and have dealt with this since I was 8. I understand all of your feelings associated with this soul crushing problem. 2 weeks ago I started speech therapy for the first time in my life. It ha...

stutter/rant

stutter/rant Let me start out by saying stuttering is the fucking devil and I feel for each and everyone of you going through it. Now that that's settled i'd like to express how every time I stutter I...

That is concerning. I’m a stutter all my life, also introverted. I would also give up saying things. One thing I hated my parents would yell at me to slow down. So don’t do that. One thing I noticed w...

Well, I don’t know that kind of problem you have with R, but I want to say don’t be embarrassed. There are many people have problem with letter R (no really there are). What I would suggest is try to ...

I get the same thing. I work in a job where I have to make radio calls over a Motorola handheld and I get a block everytime when saying my unit number. Those are the only times where my block gets obn...

Or instead you try to say that you stutter but you can't even say that, and you just stay there inhaling syllables....

How to Unblock ?

How to Unblock ? The worst thing about having to deal with stuttering are tonic blocks. Sometimes , i get these "micro" blocks. They usually last for half a second or 1 second. But some of the time ,...

Nice, but changing the words doesn't help you at all. It's just a way of avoiding your stutter instead of facing the fact that you are indeed a stutterer. I had the same problem but I am forcing mysel...

presentation (a success!)

presentation (a success!) I did an oral presentation on one of the key themes of a novel that I studied. I prepared the night before, trying to avoid any blocks and stutters by changing my words and...

Literally me. Sometimes after 10 seconds on the same word I just stop and use hand gestures to get them to say it for me. ...

I took TOEFL in Aug 2015. Speaking 26/30. I don’t stutter while recording my voice. It’s like the fluency that you have when talking with yourself. Record yourself and do timing. Elevate your voice ...

Some do get over it, but that's really not something we should be focusing on. It's not productive to look for a _cure_. Our aim is to _manage_. Anything beyond that is simply a bonus....

I think it depends on the way its done. Usually when it's done in a casual way (like not when someone is doing a presentation or during a debate or Smth) people don't mind (from my opinion as a stutte...

Good. Thats the only video I actually cared. All i wanted to do was laugh at having a stutter so other people who do can laugh too. I laughed at myself which may be why bullies didn't bother me. Could...

ok shameless promo here [https://youtu.be/fYS6a\_QX4YQ](https://youtu.be/fYS6a_QX4YQ) but i just did 3 videos on why i stutter and some of the very embarrassing moments i've had throughout my life. ho...

for me no. I would be exactly the same. I wish majority of people who stutter had the same luck as me. honestly i was spared from bullies. i don't know why? i got teased a little bit here and there bu...

Usually when I can’t get a word out I “forget” the word and think untill I can get the word out...

What do you do if you can't get a word out

What do you do if you can't get a word out I have a strong stutter but inconsistent. I have good days and bad days. And when I speak I have two kinds of stutters. One where I repeat a certain letter (...

I actually have been come over stutter for a couple of days once and I really was the most talkative person in my class. But now stutter came back so I keep silent most of time though I have a lot o...
