Yes they are really helpful, but I suggest you stop trying to avoid talking to people in fear of stuttering it only re forces the fear and makes the problem worse ...

Covert stuttering

Covert stuttering Hi everyone I am what you could call a covert stutterer. In short this means I often hide my stutter by using different words or not even engaging in talking when I want to. End resu...

Under any circumstances, I rather put my face in to fecal matter than try to open my mouth to order....

haha, I have a mc donalds literally on the corner of my road (which is rare in the UK) and i never went there. But since they installed those, I do sometimes go in there. I know we should try to speak...

I’ve driven an extra 15 minutes just to go to the McDonald’s that has these because the one closest to me doesn’t lol ...

Well, tests have shown that they have traces of fecal matter on them. And touching these especially in a bad part of town before eating doesn’t make me feel good. Doesn’t take away from the fact tha...

Hahaa yes I've been there. Usually I get a couple things in mind that I might want and just say the one that flows when the time comes ...

Yeah, not only the courage but also the stamina. I find public speaking freaking exhausting. I gave just a 20 min speech yesterday. As usual my hands were shaking after it. ...

Restaurants

Restaurants I have a wide range of foods I love simply because I’ve last second ordered something I didn’t want to avoid stuttering on the menu item I actually wanted. Some of those dishes have turne...

I have brought it up with people who know me. I try to joke with it also, saying, "I'm not having a stroke, I just seem to have developed a stutter." Seems to be a nice way of putting it....

We shouldn't really have to address it, but I find putting it all out there is really helpful for me. Some people like to make a joke about it, but I actually find just casually telling them is the be...

Thank you for this comment. This is so important and it took me a long time to figure out that accepting, owning and managing my stutter was going to be the only way to live my life the way I want. AN...

I concur with these two responses. I used to hide my stutter as well, and I started a few years back being open about it in interviews, and even putting in on applications. I recently applied for Tea...

Speaking slowly really does help. I find that when I speak slowly, I worry the person I'm talking to is getting annoyed, so I start speaking quicker and end up stuttering as well. They probably don't ...

Thank you. I've sort of come to grips with it already. I've found that if I speak slowly, I can usually prevent myself from stammering. But I always seem to eventually pick up the pace and then start ...

I'm really sorry to hear this. I know any oral part of an interview is a real struggle for all of us. It's really, really frustrating and upsetting to me that people immediately pass on us just becaus...

I had to give a presentation last year when I was in 2nd year (14 yo) and I also did it on stammering. We had to talk for 3 minutes but I think I may have gone over a bit, but I talked to my teacher b...

Keep going out there and talking. The more you do it, the easier it will become. I've been stuttering my whole life too btw. ...

I sometimes do an accent, thats helps but i only do this around people i know. Did it onve while ordering at starbucks and got wierd looks but thats all your gonna get when you stutter too. Figured i ...

Of course I didn't get the job..

Of course I didn't get the job.. Went in for an interview yesterday and had a hard time articulating in front of a 3-Panel group. Walked out knowing that I had no chance at all. Got a reply this mor...
