Aww. If it makes you feel better I have to do it for 4-6 hours at a time and talk to 30+ people...

Don't put them in a team meeting. Develop an individual work relationship between yourselves and then work out. A group is much less intimidating when you know everyone in it....

I agree. Harder to interject with more people. Especially if you start talking at the same time as someone else. Then they talk then it goes back to you. Like I tried so hard to get it out of my mouth...

That's interesting, and I can see why that would be. I hope a smaller group is more comfortable for him too. I think some of our bigger voices and personalities will be absent from that group as well....

Thank you for this. This is very helpful. It's funny (maybe that's not the right word) how so much of this comes down to etiquette and manners. We have a few very prominent voices on the team, and, w...

> I will say I'm going to ask him to join another team I'm putting together, one that is a lot smaller and will require more speaking. I can only speak for myself, but I am a lot more engaging in...

1. **Can you speak without stuttering when you’re alone?** Yes 2. **Do you speak fluently when you aren’t thinking of your stutter,** Sometimes. I have fluent days, sometimes for weeks at a t...

It’s not so much about whether or not you are physically alone. It’s more of whether or not your *voice* is being (going to be) heard. PWS tend to become fluent when speaking simultaneously in a gr...

To be honest I'm struggling a bit with your questions and what exactly are you asking. It seems most of these conditions are hard wired in my brain. For example - I probably stutter more in larger gro...

I too struggle to fit in conversations sometimes because of my stutter. Especially in larger groups of people. If it's a 3-4 people conversation I tend to be able to speak better. It's good to surroun...

Do you guys also hate when a group of people, i.e., 6 stand next to each other and talk together and you have like a 0.5 sec to intercept to say something? Fucking impossible...

Stutter With Confidence #59 with Raiani Sibien - Taking Back Control Over How We Feel About Ourselves https://youtu.be/MyUEfoVbS78 I had a lot of fun talking with Raiani, who works at NATO and is one...

Hey! If you need 5-10 secs to say something, just wait. The person behind should wait too. It is just few seconds!!! Allow yourself to spend more time than the mean saying anything :)...

I guess what you describe applies to most people who stutter. Stuttering causes a withdrawal from social interactions and then a lack of social skills. Especially in larger groups. I personally do fi...

In a group conversation, Yes ,you are absolutely correct. It's a feeling everyone of the stuttering people have. On a good side, Listening others gives us lot of information. I hate doing school/colle...

Stuttering can ramp up when the visual component is missing, such as on the phone or at the drive thru. This is for a couple of reasons. Because you can’t see them, you don’t have any information from...

For some reason I speak more fluently with larger parties. I believe bc I am less nervous bc sometimes all the focus is not on you as they are chatting slung each other. But when it’s a 2 top it feels...

I’m not gonna lying like when I speak to one person I have some hard time but I manage it and the person don’t even notice but in a group yes i stutter a-lot...

Have you considered joining a club, that has an established structure and occasions for social gatherings? Think about what you like to do, and there is probably a club for it? I was in the same boat....

Push your self, join a club/society. Even if you hate it, just go there and try to talk to people. Whats the worse that can happen? If you don't like the people try another club/society. You will be s...
