Thank you! >why does this professor not follow the accommodations you have been allowed? I never spoke to this professor before as i was hesitant to do so, because I thought since I’d only be prese...

If someone asks a question and the response is very unexpected, the asker may be nervous/confused and may accidentally blurt out something awkward. Similar to laughing at a funeral By gently disclo...

I haven't expanded my vocab, but I know people who have. The author David Mitchell reflects that in his book he wrote where his mc stuttered (Mitchell stutters too) A lot of us call it "word swapping...

Network network network. I know several successful trial attorneys who have stuttered openly in the courtroom. Disclosure of stuttering might help if he knows he's going to stutter. Though I also kn...

I feel the exact same way, for some reason my stutter is worse when talking on the phone, I can't help it, ill be on the line just completely stuck can't get 1 word out and then just say im sorry and ...

Yeah the lack of eye contact is what can kill a lot of conversations. I used to do therapy for autism and one of the things my therapist stressed was maintaining eye contact....

word substitution where I say avoid saying words that I know I will block on. Works okay like 50% of the time where I can get through sentences without stuttering but the other 50% of the time my sent...

Good read. I am currently experiencing many of the same physical issues you described. I have always thought a visible stutter is better than a covert stutter mainly because you end up developing load...

*I think our problem is we are so scared that people find out that we stammer, more than anything else.* This basically explains my life as well. I hate it when people notice and say "You have a s...

Your situation is hard right now, I have been there a lot. I've done presentations where every word has a massive block. If you can overcome that would be amazing, I always persued to overcome. Howeve...

Thank you for sharing your story and advice. Yeah, being not fluent in English is one the reasons make me stutter more. And I fully agree with you about the more we are nervous, the more stutter we do...

Especially while on the phone, I think we train ourselves to do blocks to avoid the repetitions and the weird faces or noises we make...

You adapt. You learn workarounds to get what you need. I’m socially awkward but I don’t feel restrained in life....

Ahhh it feels like I have written this! Fellow covert over here! So I had to present recently to a very senior board at work. It’s all I thought about for weeks. So I feel your pain. As a covert, ...

When I was a kid, I used to add in an "uh" or "um" before stuttering. Took a long time to stop doing it....

Guys I need some ideas . I decided to speak about stuttering as my class presentation in college being a stutterer myself .

Guys I need some ideas . I decided to speak about stuttering as my class presentation in college being a stutterer myself . English is not my native language . I have been a stutterer from my 5 th gr...

I experience the same with speaking languages other than my native English. My stutter is much worse in a different language. I also attribute it to a confidence issue. I am less confident speaking in...

Happened many times, even with no excuses. Just plain hung up when they’re had to repeat the question to me lmao I tend to block it out from my mind and try again 😂...

every time OP thinks "too late for that", he must consider the possibility that it might actually be a small win. too late to go back to order the right thing, maybe that's right. but just listen. the...

Yeah it brings me to balance but would probably increase stuttering of some that doesn't have it...
