this is very unscientific. also, i can stutter no matter the speed (sometimes). i'm sure lots of other stutterers get that too (sometimes). it's good that you found something that worked for you, bu...

I've actually had rock bottom stages like this. Points where I've embarrassed myself where I couldn't even say my name. I feared going to every single class except Maths because I know there was no co...

Dude I seriously know this feeling. But luckily my name starts with an S, and this is probably my least blocked sound. I'm always scrambling for replacement words in conversation and I've become sort ...

the stupidest part of the name block (at least for me) is that if its someone else with the same name as me it comes out fine usually, but when its MY name its a block. every. single. time....

I know that feeling all too well.. Did you get a sudden jolt of anxiety that just made things worse? If all else fails try saying "I'm MLGredditor" or "My names MLGredditor". It works for me in almost...

Possibly my most awkward stuttering moment ever

Possibly my most awkward stuttering moment ever So me and my 2 friends, (who i am very comfortable speaking with) were eating lunch at Subway. And then my friend sees his other friend walk by so he wa...

This. The same thing happens to me. Especially around my dad is when I have the worse trouble.. Around friends I'm pretty fluent.. and then when I'm saying my name/introducing my self I have trouble a...

I too experience this on a daily basis. Although I feel comfortable around my parents, I actually have blocks around them the most. With close friends, I probably experience my best fluency. And as fa...

Meh, I've tried those. Nothing really ever comes out of them, at least for me. Random conversations aren't bad for me to start with people at all, for some reason it's mainly my name I stutter on. Jus...

Usually with dates and everything, I don't have much trouble talking. It's just mainly introducing myself and saying my name (and then there's those times when I call people I don't know).. Not just w...

Hi all, first time posting here, I'm 31/m/pws, glad to see this sub exists! Hi, so yeah I'm 31 and I've stuttered my entire life. Before I discovered reddit I spent some time on a website devoted to s...

Any clever response to "heh, not sure about your name?" after exchanging names?

Any clever response to "heh, not sure about your name?" after exchanging names? I usually do a soft laugh because i know they will probably be embarrassed when they figure out that i have a stutter, w...

Help with meeting people for the first time, etc

Help with meeting people for the first time, etc First,im 17 and I've always stuttered but it got worse about a year ago. Since then I began to worry alot about it, With my friends i dont really care ...

I love talking on the telephone, I think it helps so much in regards to your stutter, one thing that is great and that you probably realise is that stutter is linked to breathing, right? So when you...

I'm in the same boat. Except instead of things that start with A, E, or B, it's the "sh" sound that I can never get. Which is shit because it's used a lot in my native language....

Help with my mild stutter?

Help with my mild stutter? So I'm 26 years old and have been struggling with a mild stutter ever since I was a kid. The funny thing is that I am pretty fluent all the time and it surprises people when...

Definitely agree with you on making the call right away! I find the anticipation is usually worse than actually making the call. I usually build it too much in my head and think: "What if they judge m...

> there could be other reasons for them not wanting to speak in public. Yep, that's the thing, I know a guy who hates calling, he is very good at speaking with people and socializing, but when i...

Thanks again for the response. I'm relieved to hear that if I had a child he/she wouldn't mimic my speech and develop bad habits or a the wrong feedbook loop for speech that I have. In regards to ...
