Personally I've noticed that because I work around my blocks I tend to think ahead and I usually already know what the other person is going to say after only a few words and I have my response alread...

40-something here. Just a couple of tips: Try to 'stammer forward' - don't repeat sounds, and always be trying to move on to the next sound whenever possible. Maintain eye contact (not in an 'establ...

and that's the thing, i LOVE to talk to people and socialize. i'm a social guy with people i feel very comfortable with, it's just in situations where i'm nervous i choke. i really appreciate your res...

I've struggled with stuttering my whole life as well my friend. it sucks, but what helps me is to remember to breathe and fact is, all we have is time. people are often in a rush, and it translates ov...

That is a really good analogy. But pushing out those last reps feels satisfying, and you can stop. Pushing out those last sounds makes you dread having to push out more sounds that your inevitably goi...

Thanks a lot for that. I go back to school tomorrow after the Christmas break and our class is going to be doing a public speaking class for the rest of the year. As soon as I heard about this in Sept...

They work but you have to do them on a daily basis. My speech gets better when I am making a concerted effort not to avoid speaking situations. It is hard for me to keep up in the long term, but I hav...

Hi, Ftus. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I know the feelings all too well. When I was your age, I had very similar thoughts of "when will this just go away?". I waited, waited and waited, and ...

Hi /u/Ftus. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm 26 and I stuttered from an early age, around 4, I guess. I still do. I hated to read aloud in front of my class and give a presentation to a large...

Hey, stuttering sucks. I had an incredibly supportive mom and dad and it still sucked every day, so I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. Have you tried talking to your dad about how it makes y...

Hello /u/ftus I'm 34 and I have no memory of ever speaking fluently prior to extensive therapy, I still stutter but I have more control over it. Where do you live? Can your school provide any speech t...

I know that this will sound very cliche but you need to have confidence in yourself and try not to let your life be taken over by the stutter. I'm also 14 and I've found that just taking my mind off o...

Same. When I bought my phone, the salesmen started up the process of that new version of Siri where they get to know your name and voice, and he did it without asking. Lol I just froze up and told him...

I've actually thought about learning sign language so that if I'm ever put in a really bad situation. I find people will respect and won't push you with that sort of disability as opposed to a stutter...

I hear you on the small talk. I feel a repulsion to it, it's weird. I know that's not a good trait to possess....

Sorry for the late comment, but I completely relate to this. I had a horrible stutter as a child, and I didn't exactly have the best teachers or classmates to help me with it. It kind of locked me out...

That'd be me. I love hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I guess I just forced myself to do it. If I couldn't get a word right, I wouldn't let that get me down - I just use a synonym and ...

That's exactly what I do. I use the impediment against itself. The more I do it, the more I force myself to be social. ...

Back in college, my MBTI was INFJ. After working for a few years, in which my first job involved talking to clients, my MBTI changed. Right now it is 50-50 introvert and extrovert. I could say that th...

My parents got me one too for a gift, but whenever I want Alexa to play a song I get stuck on the "play" and the timer runs out, forcing me to do it repeatedly until I finally get through it :( ...
