Some consonant initial words, starting with W for example, I add a very slight "ah" or "uh" sound before it and it helps me get through it. Ex - (uh) Water. Though I've gotten skilled at it by now ...

Yeah. I try to always use it in a sentence and blend it into the word prior. Example: Could I get a glass ofwater, please? Or I do the "Same as what he ordered, please" thing that someone else mention...

Yep! People always think I’m trying to say “wine” regardless of what time it is. Usually someone else will get water and I’ll say “same as them!” Lol...

Yeah. However I can say 'StillWater' really quickly and not stutter at all. Really helps that sparkling water has grown in popularity that specifying still water makes sense. ...

No I'm okay with saying water and words beginning with W in general. However I can definitely relate to the problem in ordering at a restaurant as for words that I struggle with I have to either start...

I spell my name first. Then say it normally. So for instance, hi my name is B - o - b, Bob. And i smile as if its funny lol...

What helped me is instead of introducing yourself and saying “I’m (your name)” say, “Hi my name is (your name)”. Saying multiple words before your name results in less mental worrying, less vocal emph...

Single by choice, so I don't even bother to care really. The struggle is when it comes to regular friendships as my stutter makes me a bit too quiet for the liking of other people, you just know in ad...

so, i have been married for a few years now, we've been together for six years in total. basically, like with most people trying to find someone, i put a ton of effort into dating for several years. d...

Yes! I'm the exact same way. What's really annoying is that as I talk to the person longer and get to know them more I start stuttering. So to them I suddenly go from speaking fluently to barely being...

Yup. I always just say "and to you!" People might think I'm a bit odd but a giant smile solves that... plus whatever. 😄...

It's difficult for me to say as well. Just the other day, a co-worker said "Merry Christmas" to me and I instinctively said "Thanks!" Then she paused and said, "Well...you know, IF you celebrate Chr...

I was ushering at church on Christmas Eve. The day ended up being an M day. I ended up going with “You too!”...

I have this problem too. It helps if you say the word '' merry '' in a Russian accent. Myeerry Christmas :) Might not work for everyone but its worth a shot. ...

If you stutter when you are by yourself, it means your stuttering is caused by improper breathing that became a habit. Make a conscious effort to take a deep breath before speaking, and make that into...

If I'm reading a script with a certain amount of acting involved, I (usually) don't. As for books... I have awful junior high memories of having to read paragraphs aloud....

The problem with "tricks" like these is that they can themselves become part of the stutter. You can use them sparingly, but once they've become habitual, they can cease being helpful....

Just recently I began saying “um” like every other word, sometimes repeatedly. I’ve had a stutter as long as I remember and never started saying it until now. I can’t seem to stop saying “um.” I’ll tr...

I've started to you filler words to get sentence started

I've started to you filler words to get sentence started I've been stuttering for as long as I remember. It has been something I've accepted yet tried to reduce where I can. I've noticed I've been us...

You have head ticks because you're trying hard to push through stutters. It's a learning behavior so the good news is it can be unlearned. it won't easy but it'll be worth it....
