how cooked am i? i have to take a speech fundamentals class in my college where i have to do like 7 public speeches in front of 30 people. this has got to be like some kind of humiliation ritual fr. i...

one piece of advice i would give is to wear headphones with a metronome playing!!! find a speed that you can work with that feels natural. it will really help regulate your breathing, pace, and intona...

It helped because I understood the mechanism of stuttering. I see the brain as a biocomputer with a huge number of programs. Stuttering is triggered by information coming through the visual and audito...

Exposure was the only way out for me. Presenting scared the hell out of me but in high school forced myself to take a presentation class where every student had to give a speech a few times a week. It...

Pharmacy placement tomorrow As the title says I have a placement tomorrow at a hospital and I’ll have to interact with patients and ask about the medication history. Long story short how do I go the b...

Vocês são introvertidos por natureza ou a gagueira que fazem vocês serem assim?

Vocês são introvertidos por natureza ou a gagueira que fazem vocês serem assim? Eu queria saber se isso é uma coisa minha ou todo gago é assim. Vocês sentem que sem a gagueira seria mais extrovertidos...

It gets easier the more you do it, just go up there & do your best. Half the crowd probably isn’t really paying attention anyway, so try to relax & not beat yourself up too bad if it doesn’t go as wel...

Lots of excellent advice in this thread so far. I'd just add that it might help to not read from a script. Just think about the message you are trying to convey, not a word for word script you've mem...

I had to present to 30 strangers the other day and I was stressed about it. I practiced my presentation about 15 times.  In the end it went fine. I said I had a stutter at the beginning, I took a fe...

I used to try to prepare the entire script of what I would say, but that doesn’t work well (or it needs 10x more practice than normal) What works for me is to have the outline of what I want to say. ...

The best thing to do is probably break the ice, even if you know that most people know that you stutter. It gives you some control!...

I have presentation tomorrow and I'm so nervous about it😔 Hello I'm new in this group and tomorrow I have presentation in my university, I try to rehearsal a lot but I'm still nervous about it. I rea...

I have to watch myself too, if I begin to ramble, I'm in the "self conscious mode", I let my stutter own me. Sometimes I'm speaking in circles, I take it as a defence mechanism. I dissociate. The ra...

lol, yeah mines not severe enough that I can hide it long enough. Eventually I’ll have a bad block or an awkward pause and then I’ll mention it....

Where does it say I returned it? This post demonstrates my method and how the app works in this kind of scenario. This is r/Stutter. We are here to discuss communication strategies, not store policie...

How I handle Returning expired milk Without saying a word.

How I handle Returning expired milk Without saying a word. Returning items is a nightmare. I get terrified of blocking on dates and numbers while a line forms behind me. So I generate the script befo...

No. I used it as a testing method for how human they were. Punch that fear shit in the throat. Never settle....

Thank you for your encouragement! I’m also trying to pivot into a security architect role, in my current role I’m a pentester and I think my anxiety got a bit worse since we usually have readouts with...

I know exactly how you feel. I’m also in Cybersecurity too, as an Architect. Chasing perfect fluency is a battle you will never win as a stutterer. The sooner you accept that, the better your state o...

Yes!! This is me. Im glad someone understands. I have to wing it and ramble through conversations to get through them without stuttering like crazy. But its hard to sound intelligent when I do it. My ...
