This was fantastic. Thanks for posting. I just started a job where I'm doing a lot more conference calls and they can be exhausting. I've started to make notes - but I'm still so nervous I start stray...

Ugh sorry to hear that. As someone who works virtually from my home as a Project manager across several clients for a HR company I totally understand how this feels like. I used to have a noticeable s...

In college, speaking on stage in front of industry panelists and 200 other people about my senior project. As someone with a stammer (trips over words), I was able to speak clearly and slowly, after p...

Oh man, in my senior year of high school a few years back, I had to do a senior presentation. I was like fucking shaking because I was so nervous. I wrote a speech and practiced it several times. My...

If English isn't your mother tongue, what is?! holy hell haha I was definitely REALLY emo about my stutter for a long time - I was bullied pretty bad on and off until 8th grade, and teachers would so...

There's one language I stutter TERRIBLY on despite having studied it for years - I think it might just be because I learned it in high school and we used methods (tape recorders, in-class time-sensiti...

I live in bc canada. From what i understand you need to have a specialist sign off on it and they have to confirm that conventional treatments have failed. I never heard of a drug to improve speech th...

Thank you for your advice :) I'm glad you were able to control it. I think my problem is that my brain is too fast for my mouth, and I speak really fast. I guess I just need to relax (I tense up a lo...

I used to stutter a lot more (learned to manage it over the last 10 years or so). I don't usually bring it up unless I get stuck on a word. Usually people say they never noticed before, and some say...

My advice would be to not make a big thing of it, the more you think about it when you are in the conversation the more attention you are paying to it, and will probably end up stammering more. Don't ...

When I was first learning Spanish, I didn't stutter much at all. I think that's because I was really focusing more on learning properly and getting things right. As I got the hang of it, of course, I ...

I can always feel when im about to stutter, but i dont stutter in my head....

Dont tell them you have a stutter. Employers tend to judge based on a stutter. Something about not being able to communicate. Just remember to talk slow, do some practice on words you know you will st...

Yes, very common. Two words of advice (from my speech therapist, actually): 1) It's absolutely normal for everyone to think about "important" sentences even hours or days in advance. When you realize...

I've experienced this too at times but not when I'm practicing lines in my head. Sometimes, talking in the mirror and making eye contact with myself while practicing talking has helped me. Forcing eye...

So, I have had a stuttering problem for awhile, but like you, it flares up from time to time. I will have to answer phones for my part time job (donut shop) and I sometimes can't even say "hello" or ...

I can say my name fluently but only if I say it quickly in a way that's hard to understand. So I get asked to repeat it and I end up stuttering anyway. Catch-22...

yes.... I went to speach classes that the therapist didn't think i actually stuttered because when we talked about it (what i did the whole time there), it didn't happen. I find, when i stutter and...

I have it all the time. I have to answer phones for my weekend job. I have to repeat what I am going to say before answering and take a few breathes before committing to it....

I think it depends on my current phase, but I was thinking that I would stutter less in English (second) than in French (first). Currently, I noticed than in my third one, Chinese Mandarin, talking to...
