Meeting Her Folks

Meeting Her Folks Help!! I’ve (23M) been seeing this girl (22F) for a few weeks now, and things are getting pretty serious. We’ve slept over at each other’s places and been made ‘official.’ I was re...

For me its just the first 3 or 4 scentences with new people. If i talk to them a few days later no (big) problems just a couple of minor breaks in fluently....

For me, it depends on the person. I have no problem making small talk with a good friend, but if I have to talk to a stranger at a networking event for example, I will block frequently. ...

Unlike some of these other comments, I think you need to bone up on your social skills. Exceling at work is about more than being good at your job. It's about fitting the culture, getting along with y...

during my last year of high school im planning to rap lose yourself (By Eminem) in front of 1,300 people.

during my last year of high school im planning to rap lose yourself (By Eminem) in front of 1,300 people. Ok, you clicked on this probably thinking goddamn that takes balls, well i guess you're right,...

Try one-on-one conversations, I find them a easier. Group talks are a lot harder because you have to adapt to the talking pace of several people, which is obviously much harder for a PWS....

Teenager who acquired a stutter about 6 months ago

Teenager who acquired a stutter about 6 months ago I'm not sure why I've started stuttering. I never stuttered as a child, and my stutter isn't too severe, but i block up while talking with a group of...

One more reply, if you live in North America, get involved with the NSA, in particular go to the national conference (it's in July I believe, Registration might still be open). This is the single best...

Don't apologize. There's no reason for it. Yes you have a Stutter but it doesn't define you. I bet there's more to you then just a speech impediment. Joining social clubs in college is pretty ballsy...

Ok guys, I just had the first viva. Everything went on fine. :) TBH, I posted this because this time, vivas were meant to taken along with 5-6 students sitting in front of the teacher. You know, you ...

I'm 34 and was in a pretty similar boat. I stuttered severely through grade school, hs, and college. I lost count of how many days nobody could understand me when I was a teenager, I missed out on t...

That happens to me too. I think practice and getting more used to these kinds of situations can really help. That can mean going on for interviews (even for jobs you aren't super interested in), or if...
