The "Word Swap" Stutter

The "Word Swap" Stutter First time posting here. Does anyone ever have that stutter where you can't say a certain word or syllable but if you can find a synonym for the word you can pronounce it fine...

Automotive technician. My coworkers understand I have a stutter and give me the time to say what I need and cars and trucks don't talk. If I have to speak to customers the service advisors are always ...

Financial/Billing analyst. On my second year here. I'm on the phone more than I'd like, but have gotten very good at resolving things via email when it's possible. It seems like the phone calls have r...

Bartender. Easy when it is busy and i only have to yell prices out. Sucks when it is slow and people wanna chat. ...

Tell the interviewer up front that you stutter sometimes. LIE and say "it's not a problem for me; it doesn't interfere with work, just sometimes it takes me a little longer to say things." This is...

I just found this subreddit, thought I would introduce myself and tell my story, so to speak.

I just found this subreddit, thought I would introduce myself and tell my story, so to speak. I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. From elementary school all the way through college a...

No use getting angry/disheartened over their natural reaction to a joke, so what I do is try to find a way to laugh it off. Next time just be like "well I'm glad *y'all* think this is funny.... Anyway...

Bravo, you've already identified the problem. It's just that- fear of failing. Between now and then I recommend trying to get comfortable hearing yourself stutter, and try to ignore the negative feeli...

When explaining to someone who asks why I can't talk like them I just say I stumble over my words a lot and it takes a bit longer to get sounds and words out. Lots of people stutter or know of someone...

I actually have the same issue. You can swap the work stutter for "speech impediment" "I just want you to know I suffer from a speech impediment"...

That could work, but it's situational. It's not like I can say : "sorry, I have a holding back issue"...

Holding back. Try replacing the word "stuttering" with "holding back". I "stutter" the worst when I talk to people older than me and during those moments I ask myself why am I "holding back" inste...

My name is the worst. I don't think I've said it without being blocked for 10 years. I can't introduce myself, place pickup orders at restaurants, it's so frustrating...

Dude. The part about stuttering back to her? Just... no. Instead, I would agree with her some kind of visual que as you're talking ("ok" sign, quick wave, etc). It's never fun when someone fake stutt...

Didn't know this subreddit existed... Guess this is a vent.

Didn't know this subreddit existed... Guess this is a vent. Seriously, how do you deal with depression? I never win arguments/debates, never contribute in conversations because I know I'll embarrass m...

I guess two things: it seems like a common thing around here that people won't stutter when they're by themselves/with a dog. Personally I've never felt that, my stutter stays pretty constant regardle...

Hi there, nice to meet a fellow Indonesian here. Didn't expect to meet one on this sub haha. Personally I prefer gojek over angkot, because with gojek at least I don't need to raise my voice. Having ...

I like music so much man, it's my passion. I am playing guitar and attending dance classes and i feel good about it, I really don't have problem with people and when the shits goes down, i am really h...

I completely agree with you in regards to what you said about the victim mentality that seems to be so predominant among people that stutter. I think, for a lot of people at least, that it's orders o...

In the past if a person who I applied for a job for called and I did not want to deal with the phone I would just let them leave a message and then I would just go into the business either the same da...
