I currently work at staples. I do talk to people, tell them where things are and any other assistance they may need. Although I am not stutter or anxiety free, it helps when people approach you and yo...

I dont think you should over do it but having a job and getting some experience working with/around people is good. You can just start slow if you'd like. I worked at a drug store in high school, stoc...

My gf orders for me at the drive thru. Is that healthy?

My gf orders for me at the drive thru. Is that healthy? I feel like I should do it myself but I don't want to embarrass myself lol. She doesn't care of course, and it calls it cute but I rather save t...

I have been trapped in my little bubble for so long, man. I'm at college, 3rd year, but all of my friends have left and so it was just me. I panicked because my habits (smoking weed) does not help my ...

I usually stand up and try not be around other people. I may go into another bedroom or outside. Getting it over with as you say is a good idea. Before making a call to someone who I don't know (or do...

I'm 30 yrs old. Still stutter but now I can mask it really well. I can switch phrases really fast and I have a blocking stutter most of the time where it's at the beginning of phrases or words with ce...

I've stuttered since I was a kid, and like you, I think I'm a lot funnier, wittier, and well-spoken over writing than over speech. But I've done a lot better in college. I still stutter, mind you, but...

I feel trapped in my own body

I feel trapped in my own body I've dealt with a stammer for as long as I can remember and I've rarely felt of it like this before, however I moved to university a month or so ago. Over text speech, I...

What worked best for you? This is crippling.

What worked best for you? This is crippling. Hey all, This is my first time posting here, and my first time posting anywhere about my stutter, for that matter. As a little background, I'm 23 and work...

I've had speech therapy all of my life man and in the end, it's all about your mindset and what you do with the information, I mean I've retained none of it and never really applied it because I was a...

In view of Stuttering Awareness Day (Oct 22), tell your story.

In view of Stuttering Awareness Day (Oct 22), tell your story. My story: I have stuttered since I could remember, mine is rather pronounced but not severe. I cannot hide it but I have managed with it...

Advertise and HOLD EYE CONTACT. Even when stuttering. Eye contact = I know what I'm talking about and I'm confident about it. Most communication is done by body language anyway....

My therapist has stressed to me to advertise my stuttering. It really does work as it lets the listener know you're not a bumbling idiot and it eases your mind that you don't have to hide it and don't...

Well I am covert at times, but then when I hit that brick wall it becomes painfully obvious. Today I had to give my email address at the gym, got to the @ sign, then physically could not say 'gmail'. ...

I think your a covert stutterer. My opinion is if your ok being covert, so be it. But if being covert takes tons of energy away from you, drop it....

Word substitution is a very common trait that people who stutter have. In fact, we spend a LOT of effort (physical/mental) on trying to hide our stutter and word substitution and avoiding situations i...

This happened to be a long time ago. The top comment seems to have it. We are so resistant (afraid) to stutter that we can't even show it anymore. The harder we try to cover it up the more severe it b...

Definitely at its worst in High School. I moved right before High School and never made one friend throughout those 4 years. So I guess the not talking just made my stutter go on a steady decline. I h...

I may be totally wrong on this, but apparently speech blocks are the next step of stuttering. It's your brain saying "I'm so scared of stuttering that I just won't even talk." If you don't talk, you d...

hm, don't buy into the "introvert" label too much. it's become popular in recent years, but my worry is that people are digging the self-identification part of it a little too much. we might as well ...
