Thanks for the tips, my group of friends are pretty good. I have talked to them about my stutter in the past and they said it's okay. Although they sill finish my words and stuff, I think that's them ...

At least for me it certainly makes me less likely to actively participate in a discussion for fear of embarrassing myself. Sometimes I don't say anything because what I want to say has words I know I'...

Yeah, I totally understand that, and I was a little drunk when I wrote my reply to you so I probably wasn't as articulate as I could have been :) I more meant that we were all kind of doing the same ...

yeah, that can definitely be a bit annoying. i usually try to politely hint, thank you but im not looking for your help lol....

It's still very hard for me even while writing down what I have to say. But it's much easier than not writing down anything at all. I try my best in person to avoid chaotic restaurants when ordering ...

Thing is, with a stutter, it isn't about forgetting the word. You *know* what you want to say. You just can't say it. So the analogy just isn't correct there. Even a stutterer that doesn't like you f...

> some people get really embarrassed and uptight about their stuttering. It's not necessarily embarrassment. I think for some folks it may stem from having folks fill in the wrong word once too of...

Even with a written down order, I just hate using the phone so much. So I actually do make a point of ordering in person. Still, I avoid any food that I would want to give special instructions on. If...

Thanks for checking in! We had our second meeting last night and I was wondering if I should update here. Everyone seemed to intuitively let him finish his sentences most of the time, with occasional ...

Uhhh it's hard. The good thing is that at work I have to answer phones most days so I get some practice. I have to make calls, too. THAT'S the worst. Hearing the brrrringgg brrrrrrrnngggg brrrrrr...

Hey archie, I'm a third year college student doing computer science, I know how you feel about your speech holding you back. I have so much I want to say and do, I feel like I am missing out on the co...

Sometimes I stutter worse when I plan out what i'm going to say. Especially at restaurants. ...

My stutter always goes away and comes back again. It really is a mistery. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with breathing and I really hate when people tell me to "stop and take a breath...

Thanks for sharing your story homie. Here's mine. I have been stuttering ever since I can remember. From kindergarten til third grade, I went to speech therapy. But I had other issues with my speech...

Commenting for later. I'll share my story after work, it is quite similar to yours! Edit: Here I am. So, I also have a stutter since I was a child (am 22 now, in third year of university). I pl...

I don't stutter at all when I drink, but I stutter a lot when I don't. I remember before I ever started drinking, I was a pretty competent speaker all the time, and when I started drinking, I stuttere...

This. It's a strategy that temporarily increases fluency, but once your brain adapts to it, you will start to stutter again. More helpful are strategies like easy-onset, pull-out, etc. that can be use...

It helps to an extent, I find that personas are very helpful for speaking more fluently personally, the only problem is I choose to not adopt one most of the time because of the fact that I'd rather b...

These changes all allow me to not stutter until I get used to the change. When I first learned English I could speak in English without stuttering at all. Once I had made it routine to speak in Englis...

Has any fellow stutterer tried talking in a different accent? Or adopting a different "persona"? Has it helped?
