Good for you. But if you dragged me on a stage in my teenage years, I would have stuttered on the same level just with more blocks and less repetitions....

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. ...

Totally agree with the root cause. It is 100% a sensitivity thing for me. HOW to apply this insight will depend on the individual, of course. I like to speak at a rhythm as though I'm singing. I take...

Well, learn it! While you learn it you can also notice whether your stuttering decreases or not. So experimenting and learning at the same time. :)...

Okay - thanks for this. Glad the hardship you faced paid off, sure you're happy in your current job (and congrats on that!) I will probably take the plunge. I am well aware that it'll probably get m...

Ah, this gives me hope :) I'm trying to look at the person I talk to in the eyes when I stutter too and stop whatever physical thing I do when a stuttering pattern start... It's seems so easy but it's...

100% in favour of throwing yourself into the fire. It is how I overcame my fear of stuttering. All through high school and university I manufactured my environment to limit the need to speak, even pu...

Well done on your hard work and perseverance. I'm currently working on desensitizing and accepting my stutterign and take responsibility for it. It's a long and hard proces for me with frequent setbac...

The "cure" is to stutter without struggle. Hard to achieve but not impossible....

The best way to conquer your fear of stuttering is to stutter away or even do it on purpose to desensitize yourself. You don't need SSRi's, that come with a host ot nasty side eftects, for that....

What works for me sometimes is starting the call with "I have a stutter so please be patient with me" or some variation of that. Letting the listener know you stutter may ease the ambiguity. For me, b...

It's tough to try and not care about my stutter, but I do think that may be an effective method. If I stutter I do, someone may laugh but it doesn't really matter, right? I understand embracing th...

They work put only to a point. What I'm trying to do now is not care about my stuttering and to voluntarily stutter on words that I know that I usually do. Its hard, I mean why would you voluntarily s...

Ok for me I started to stutter later in life when I was in my early teens. I pretty much kind of know broadly of how it developed. Anyways I ask you that because if you developed it later like me you ...

Well, we'll always have reddit! Definitely an excellent ice breaker. I've had interest in getting a dog not only because I love them but because they're tremendously helpful for anxiety. They'll pl...

You're definitely right! Constantly stepping outside of my comfort zone is the only way to work with my anxiety/stutter. I like to call it the desensitization method (I'm sure there's a technical te...

Aw no luck there then. I'm from California. My dog is generally my ice breaker. I let her go off leash at the park because and if she go towards someone or some other dog, I end up talking to the oth...

I'd like to hear more about your awkwardness, and subjecting people to it 😂. You say you can't really complain, I've never really been comfortable with my awkwardness. It may be an issue I have with ...
