I actually belong to the stutter and social anxiety community. I saw someone’s thread about having to give a presentation on a microphone to a crowd. Just wondering which is more intimidating…. a mic...

Around my colleagues 95% of the time, but when I’m the only one there I can sometimes speak normally, but not usually....

Do you answer the phone around colleagues or by yourself? I've found when answering the phone by myself I'm a lot more confident and animated, but the pressure of others watching/listening to me cause...

It’s only really an issue with me when it comes to first impressions and big group interactions. But I also think if someone just “has an issue” with your stutter than it wouldn’t of worked out either...

When you have a moment with him that's 1 on 1, talk about his stutter with. Make it light hearted convo but take it serious, if that makes sense. This convo could help him relax around you in the fu...

I could try. The main reason I got that laptop was for programming. But that vr thingie sounds interesting and I'll give it a try. I might just have to save for vr glasses. And that really of your pro...

since you have a high end laptop, have you tried buying a set of vr glasses to try the VR public speaking simulations? not that free junk, but the one that cost i think 200 dollars or monthly fee, it ...

It helps me if they're at least on the same "wavelength", so less "happy" false talk to content with. A third person, if possible, would help take the pressure off I'd imagine 🤔...

Absolutely. Very tiresome. Especially when it either turns into a patronizing tone (such as speaking-to-a-child-voice or speaking s l o w l y) or people at a gathering unable to see me as anything but...

It just sucks because it makes you look bad in a group. A girl who liked me introduced me to her friend group and I just blocked and looked awkward, and I think they "disapproved" of me, if you get w...

Honestly, go for it. I too want to join the army and I've got a mild stutter but I was deferred for other medical issues and I've to get a couple of references that I don't have. I'm currently workin...

Is anyone here generally disliked?

Is anyone here generally disliked? I feel like any large group that I try and get into, I end up being the guy that's disliked the vast majority of the time, unless there is someone that society may d...

The problem is that I can't get along with groups of people, I am fine with many people 1 to 1. So when they have the opportunity to hang out with the entire group (most of whom don't like me) vs. me ...

How do you deal with speaking in a place where people can overhear you?

How do you deal with speaking in a place where people can overhear you? Like on a bus or train, i.e. an area of confined space with a lot of people close by. I hate it if I have to do so around others...

Repeating myself, being asked my name. One of the worst is having to speak in a group. It's impossible to get a word in, timing has to be just right for that. Even worse is when you try to say someth...

Only once. We were both in the same platoon in basic training. We didn’t really talk to each other. At the time we were both big targets, and he happened to stutter worse than me, so he was targeted ...

Yeah yep yep yep yep. If I make a speech, it's super fast to a point I can read 4 pages in 2 mins of time. I stutter with certain people. People who are older than me. And babes I couldn't tell that ...

I hate family gatherings! They are the worst setting for me verbally unfortunately. My family is loud and my stuttering is at it's worst when I have to talk over other people. It's a real mental worko...

Depends, back when my stutter was severe I only answered questions for small classes(< 15)....

Even worse when your in a class of 35 ppl & the teacher asks you your full name & you take literally a full minute to get it out while sounding like a complete retard. And all 35 of your new c...
