When I first did this it was with my brother in the car, so it didn't matter that much how I looked. I'm at the point now that I can just pretty much do mouth it once and it works so it isn't much of ...

I'm glad you found something that works for you. I have a question, it's easy to mouth 'peanut' to yourself, but how does this work when speaking to others? Slightly off topic- This might seem like...

That's great. If you can get past the anxiety and say what you intend to say, that is the most important thing. I went to a two week intensive (AIS in NYC) where they really stressed the importance of...

I absolutely agree, and I'm glad you asked that question, because it leads into an important issue amongst a lot of stutterers. I spent four (mostly) wonderful years with my crush from early middle s...

"Stop caring", as said by someone who doesn't know what stutter amounts to. Some day, more people will know about it. :) >stuttering by myself (such as **reading aloud** or talking to a pet or **m...

Ok I get you. Yeah it's a struggle. I like your analogy too, how can you go for a nice drive when all those stop signs suddenly appear....

I remember once I was drunk, I had to explain to a buddy what this stuttering thing was about. He didn't think I was a stutterer, and I hadn't really been stuttering that night, but when I started exp...

It's exactly the answer for me. I don't have any other explanation for my situation. My step brother was a stutterer and I became one myself later on. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence. My side of t...

I have had many people tell me this before, too many times to count. Another thing I've heard often is, "Take it easy, breath, slow down". I believe people say it because they feel a little uncomforta...

Follow up in person if you need to, interviews are important. A couple of times it helped me if I wrote things down if I had to talk on the phone. It didn't make me fluent but it helped a bit with an...

Just tell them you have a stutter towards the beginning of your interaction. "By the way, I have a stutter so if I start sounding kinda crazy or whatever & you need me to repeat myself, just ask...

I would do a speech in front of 10000 people. Go out and socialise more and just talk all day....

Yeah I know how you feel but you know what, I just do it anyway and it's good practice. I don't really care what the other person thinks, I only care about if they understand what I'm saying because I...

I can sometimes talk fast in short spurts if I'm having a good day. But I just can't follow! If I'm trying to learn something on YouTube and they talk fast I have to rewind it. I definitely think tha...

As a software engineer, I don't have to talk very much at my job relative to other positions. Mainly my daily interactions are between other engineers a handful of people across various departments. ...

Sounds a lot like my stutter, I have a name with a harsh syllable at the start (ka sound) so it's annoying to get my own name out sometimes. It's definitely linked to anxiety, whether stuttering cause...

Wow, our situations are so similar it almost feels like I wrote this. I also struggle on hard consonants like B, C and D. My name was supposed to be Christopher, but my mum decided on Sean at the las...

It varies how stutterers react to things like that. Usually, just waiting for them to finish is probably the easiest way - adding to the communication might make them want to react to this new part, w...

Thank you for such a detailed response! I think it's great that you've finally been able to find someone you can talk to. I think my next step is going to be trying to talk about it with my mom. Her ...

It bothers me quiet a bit. I believe that I'm a naturally extroverted person (on my good days I talk to everyone that I can) but that my stutter holds me back. There are things that I want to say that...
