I was called a broken record when I was growing because of how bad my stutter was. My best friend always had to be by my side, she was the only one that could understand me. I went to speech therapy ...

"Ignore her in public" as in you two were walking around in the mall holding hands or you ignored her calls/Skype in public? Does she know you stutter? I'm also in the same position and I hate answeri...

I'm sorry to hear that's happened. Think a few of us can relate to your scenario: wanting to call someone but resorting to other means to spare the terrible feelings. A common topic for PWS to talk ab...

Has anyone's stutter ever gotten in the way of a relationship?

Has anyone's stutter ever gotten in the way of a relationship? We were both young and were both are main priorities. She was pretty, funny, and as socially as awkward as I was. We would text each othe...

It's only useful if you only sometimes get a block, saying these words all the time would be a little bit odd. Though, if one is clever with their usage, it could sound completely normal....

I'm gonna join too. Just had my first reading out loud in front of the public experience at university, read an introductory essay about myself and on other subject too. It's needless to say that I bl...

Just found a trick for myself to be fluent while answering the phone. Used to stuck on the hello part. Replaced it with just a "llo" and it did help a lot. Sounds like a faster hello. But, whatever wo...

Same here. Never worked when it was mental. But saying hello continuously in public is kinda weird though lol. But, whatever helps man....

Not 100%. Sometimes I do stammer at it as well. I substitute it with yeah wherever I can. Works fine with me....

The thing is substitution. To not to stammer, we tend to substitute the word on which we stammer with the ones on which we don't. Actually I've been trying it from past 3 days and have been successf...

My main go to was replacing the "h" with a "y" and although it's not the best thing to be doing, it worked well for me in the past. Instead of getting blocked in the vocal chords on that tough "hehh" ...

Let me know if this is still working after a couple of weeks. Not to be too harsh but this isn't so much a tip as much as a 'trick' and tricks don't tend to last. Once you get used to llo or the first...

What I usually do is keep saying 'Hello' to my self before I pick up the phone. Then I quickly pick up the phone midway through a 'hello'...

Good to hear you found a work around. And yeah, substitution does suck. In your mind you are thinking of making the most kickass remark you can, but it just won't come out. You end up saying a really ...

Having to substitute words sucks but definitely works! I'm glad you found a way to reduce your nervousness on the phone. A quick "Oh" before the hello works for me. It also sounds a bit weird but bein...

A small tip for saying that first word on a phone call

A small tip for saying that first word on a phone call Hey everyone! So I'm currently 21yo and I've been a stutter from as long as I can remember. Luckily I've never been made fun of by anyone, incl...

Today i took a big step, but for no reason.

Today i took a big step, but for no reason. I have been dreading talking about my stutter for years as i have been a covert stutterer for my entire life. Today i decided to go to the doctor, and hopef...

Nobody told me anything. I learned to deal with my stutter in my own way, and one thing that did help me was to take a breath and slow down. It wasn't perfect but it did help, sometimes. Thanks for ...

I use synonyms when possible or add words like the, a, and, at and I don't have as many blocks. Like "I'm on the youtube" "im going at the Walmart" lol sounds stupid but people know I just mix words a...

My mom would finish my sentences and I'd get mad lol. I'm 19 now, still with a severe stutter but I've learned to deal with it. I talk and don't pay attention how I talk, I feel like that helps. I lit...
