How did your stutter affect getting your first job? I am 16 years old and it seems everyone I know is starting to get jobs. However with my stutter and anxiety, the idea of just going to a job intervi...

Something That Might Help Your Stutter

Something That Might Help Your Stutter I was talking to some of my friends in a group chat because I was worried about an upcoming event where I would have to talk in front of lots of people. We start...

My stutter is occasional. Is this frequent?

My stutter is occasional. Is this frequent? Hello guys, I'm pretty new to this sub, but not to stuttering. I didn't stutter as a kid and I started doing it when I was about 10-11 (now I'm 20). The thi...

You sound like you're in a very similar spot to me, I'm 22 though. I can't introduce myself well, but can have a reasonable conversation with someone I'm comfortable with. I've found it best to meet p...

I have a mild stuttering disorder. In some situations I'm very fluent: with close family members (wife, sisters, parents), with people that I feel confortable (shy people or people in a lower social s...

When my stutter developed, I had recently changed schools, maybe my stutter started a result of the stress of that. I have been using some methods to try and fight it, I read out loud to myself when I...

Well sometimes I feel even more anxious if I don't stutter, because I'm just waiting for it to happen. That anticipatory anxiety can be worse that the actual "right after the event" anxiety. I guess p...

Put on some headphones, face away from your door and start reading a book or something. Tell a friend or family member to walk into the room at some point (3-5 minutes in or whatever). See what happe...

Yea, ice-breakers and stuttering aren't the best combination. In my experience it helps my mindset to pretend I already know the other people, seeing as that's the point....

I stutter and have made a lot of presentations for work. I never wing it. I write my speech up on note cards and practice it by myself at least 10 times. That sounds like a lot but I make tweaks an...

The times I looked most like an "idiot" was when my main priority was not stuttering. I obviously can't control when I stutter so I just looked ridiculous trying to hide or prevent it. What helped m...

I can not stress 8 and 1 enough. There's no reason to hide the elephant in the room, just go ahead and expose it and get that over with. I had 2 classes last semester that were nearly 90% presentatio...

I tried to get out of my required COM class when I college and my advisor wouldn't let me. I would argue that it was the best thing I ever did to help improve my stuttering. Before that COM class, I ...

Im thinking about starting to micro-dose. Ive read its a great alternative for depression and anxiety. I know both of those have a big impact on my life, and my stutter. Ive noticed on my good days wh...

Sometimes, I'll anticipate trouble and rephrase. Sometimes I can manage if I hesitate slightly before continuing. Other times, I'll just power through it, in stubborn spite of block/repetition, if I ...

I agree to that extent. At the same time those who have stuttered severely 10/20+ years can't just reverse the irregular movements of the cural diaphragm. Well I mean, you can but it'd take atleast a ...

Yes I do. I block rather than repeat. So when there's a part of the sentence coming up that cannot be said easily - I start feeling this weird pressure in my head. Too bad, the research on stutteri...

Sometimes I imagine a certain way of saying a word. The only thing I visualise is my approach to speaking and social situations....

Could you elaborate on this visualizing of yours? It's not just anticipation?...

I think it can be summed up by generally saying if you anticipate the block then you will block...
