Decades of Stuttering Hi all. Dude in his 40’s here, been stuttering since I was a child. Apparently it can be passed down from family members, my father has it significantly worse. My issue is only a few words or types of words but it’s been bothering me for so long. Saying my phone number when asked…I can say my area code then the next number is 7….which I just do ssssssssssss til I finally get it out. One day on a dinner cruise we were talking to some folks on the boat, I went to ask “where are you from?” But the “where” could not come out. I sat there for 5 minutes trying to get the word out and I couldn’t. I felt so infuriated. Saying “how many sets do you have left” at the gym…the “how” won’t come out. I am calm, take a breath, and nothing works. If anyone has any tips I’d be eternally grateful.
