My stutter is driving me insane. Having normal conversations with people that made 100000 times harder and more awkward. It’s embarrassing as hell and I’m sick of it.
Conversations with most people I have daily are difficult because it’s hard to keep people listening for that long and it’s very awkward to talk to someone the first time as they expect me to have a stutter. It’s so isolating. Ever since I was a kid everyone just to make fun of me for it. I wish I could talk like everyone else.
I’ve lost so many opportunities to my stutter just think about it. I’ll never a telemarketer, (not really a lost) I’ll never be a voice actor, and how many other jobs require you to speak to others?
I think speech therapy has strategies for dealing with stuttering.
I know, I would like to go one day.
I am not a speech therapist, but I bet a lot of it comes down to practicing techniques. Have you ever looked on YouTube to see if there are any free speech therapy videos to give you a head start?
Yeah, there are some. I know about this one guy who’s a comedian (idk what his name is) who had a stutter but found out when he did an impression of somebody it would go away so been doing that. I’ve noticed it’s less common. I heard whistling helps.
Music therapy helped my son a bunch (in line with the other singing recommendations).
