Not gonna lie, I love holding presentations! I usually just preface "Hey my stuttering is not because I'm nervous, it's a disability" and then I get rambling For someone with a speech disability I su...

Stand in front of a fridge one week before the presentation-you’ll lose your voice for a few days. It’s an excuse everyone will believe. Thank me later....

I applied to work at a call centre as I wanted to challenge myself, since there were certain spiels that had to be said I would hand write them out and practice speaking them out loud and for some rea...

My classmate thought he was a wanker, first thing he said to me lol. Well do it as we had planned, 50/50!...

i really wonder what did your classmate think about this bullshit? extra few minutes will not kill him , you dont have to guarantee anything, do whatever feels right to you...

It is horrible, but it's also one of the only ways you can try and force to improve your speech. I still think I speak horribly while I'm presenting but I've improved a lot just by doing them....

From my experience, don't try to avoid it. Practice 100 times, try, fail, try again - this way you grow and get confidence....

If you can write down a script of what you are going to say. That way if your speech gets hanky, you can just start reading instead of trying to talk and think, if that makes sense. I hate telephone...

I remember a presentation I did in high school. I was absolutely bricking it. Had to do it. No choice. This was about 30+ years ago. I got up. Did my presentation on boxing. One of the few times I con...

I’m from Europe, and this professor could be in deep trouble had he said that to someone else. I won’t do anything but give that presentation anyway and shut him up. Depending on how that goes I’ll ta...

I felt like you should not control your words because the difference between stutter and normal people is normal people focus on what they want to express and stutter focus on fluency....

I just want to say, you absolutely *should* go ahead and present exactly the way you always do. Those blocks are a part of who you are, and they don’t make your presentation less valuable. If anythin...

Don't get humiliated, get angry at them - that is utterly unacceptable, and if you have any route to report them, you really should. I had "if you can't speak properly don't speak at all" from one of ...

Thank you for your words. I very much share that last part about desensitizing yourself from public speaking. I have been in academic debate for the last 4 years of my degree, was vice president of th...

I'm using voice to text here so I hope this comes through okay but I am a college professor and I am appalled that they would say such a thing yes it is true that in the classroom setting we have time...

Is our STUTTER approach-avoidance conflict really just a phobia in disguise? (in your own words) (see the images)

Is our STUTTER approach-avoidance conflict really just a phobia in disguise? (in your own words) (see the images) Could the approach-avoidance conflict be explained mainly by a phobia? That is, is t...

Discussion: Do you notice a difference when you “fight” a block versus when you try to ease through it?

i totally get you! middle school and highschool were the worst years of my life. i used to have big dreams about my career and so on. now, after graduating, i dont even want to go to uni. its ridiculo...

Yeah, i do it all the time. Like in saying my birth year, instead of seventy-three; i just say seven three. I stopped going by my birth name because i had too much of a hard time with the B sound. So...

Does your stutter do this too?

Does your stutter do this too? I’ve had a stutter ever since I could talk but it wasn’t never bad, in fact it would come and go like I’d have it for a couple months then it would disappear and then ev...
