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...

Yeah, that sucks. But please don't stop going to interviews? I don't know if you have a job already that you don't like or don't have one, but either way, please keep looking? Of course all this ma...

What's in a name? For people who stutter, it's a bad head space full of self-perpetuating thoughts fueled by fear and anxiety. My suggestion would be to intentionally stutter. My name is Christopher, ...

I've met other stutterers in the past and I've definitely experienced that. Getting past the discomfort is itself a huge step forward, so try things like listening to podcasts by stutterers. It might ...

160 contacts on your first outing is quite great. ( i managed 107 , 70 disclosures) I really want to get back to practicing but I just can't seem to be able to do it :/. Like I'll be discipli...

and I have never heard such intelligent conversation about stuttering. Much like this subreddit, it's amazing to have so much common ground in understanding, knowing that everyone has been through so ...

The worst thing you can do at this point is to shut down & go silent again. If you do that, then you need to accept the fact that you're going to repeat this type of situation again & again un...

I'm an interesting guy. If I'm going to make a post that I can read a year down the line, or when ever I'm feeling "off", might as well make it entertaining, you know. The finger-breaking is true th...

Practice, practice, practice. Stuttering happens. Knowing what to say and how to say it will help. Practice out loud in front of the mirror, practice to a friend, practice to a parent, practice to you...

If we were to give into every fear or stuttering premonition, we would be severely debilitated. Instead, there should be a propagation of stuttering awareness wherein hospitality industry workers are ...

Is this what we really need? A place that enables our fear of ordering into a perennial source of fear? It shouldn't come as a relief for stutterers, more like a warning sign to not succumb to such s...

My SO usually orders at restaurants when we go out. She puts her name down at the wait list. She used to help fill in the blanks a lot. But I talked to her about it some time back. I told her that it'...

The first step would be stop thinking of yourself as your worst enemy. It is quite natural that you think about stuttering. Pretty much everyone on this subreddit have had/is going through that. The ...

Keep putting yourself in situations in which you think you will stutter in and sooner or later you will find yourself becoming slightly fluent. This fluency will increase the more you believe in yours...

The programwas mainly exposure. The first half of the program was talking to as many random people as we can on campus, on the streets, everywhere. We had a select number of surveys we had to give eve...

Basically covert stutters do everything they can do to not stutter openly in front of people. World substitution is one strategy a covert stutter utilizes - when they feel they are going to block on a...

The bit in quotes I meant as my dramatized interpretation of what coddling is actually saying. As in, the people doing the coddling are telling (though not directly, as I wrote) the stutterer that he/...

I definitely can't say I know what's best for everyone or what might happen from a situation. All I know is for me, I had an English teacher in Grade 8 who let me off the hook. I got to do my presen...

This may come off as kind of rude, so I apologize in advance if it comes off that way. I feel like a more constructive direction you may want to consider is taking more responsibility for helping you...

I block too. I've always had this kind of stutter and I feel like it's more painful than if you just repeat sounds. One thing I've noticed that helps - trust me on this - is to stutter on purpose. ...
