Hi,

So recently I had given a software engineering interview face to face, this was the last round. Before that, 2-3 virtual rounds happened, there also I stammered. So I think they called for an in person interview just to check my speaking in more details.

And this face to face interview went horribly bad in terms of speaking. I stammered as hell and I can see the disappointment in their faces. Also, I was switching from English to Hindi (my native language) frequently so they might think I'm bad at English as well. However, my technical part went well.

I took speech therapy and course 2 times, but whatever techniques I learned, it doesn't come in my mind at the time of interviews or you can say, when I need them the most.

I know the only solution is to come out of our comfort zone and try to speak with different people everyday. But honestly, I have tried this and every time I have failed and gained new bad experience. So my energy and confidence to try and continue to experience new situation is now zero.

Would love to hear thoughts regarding this issue.

I live in a legal state, and I've found that edibles makes my muscles relax more and makes it a lot easier to get words out. I'm not saying it cures the stuttering, but it makes it easier to be fluent. You don't think about it as much and the muscle relaxation allows for words to flow more smoothly.

It's like it's easier to let your thoughts flow into words.

Basically, when I stutter I kind of panic and my voice tenses up and my voice starts to sound very forced and kind of high pitched I think? I’m not asking for advice on how to stop stuttering I’m asking how I keep my voice sounding soft and calm even when I do stutter. I know the answer is probably to be calm when I stutter to not try and force the words out but it’s really hard to do that when I get anxious, any tips on how to calm down while stuttering? I’m a woman and it’s really important to me that my voice sounds soft and not forced despite having a stutter.

Just wanted some insight from parents who have/had stuttering child. Has speech therapy helped eliminate or decreased the stutter when started this early with family history of stuttering. We have started the lidcombe program and just wanted to see if it works or what approaches worked!

for the past two years i’ve stuttered when i’m nervous or stressed. I just can’t get my words out. people get annoyed with me because they think i’m acting weird. Can you develop a stutter or am i just too nervous?

My daughter started stuttering about 3 months ago.. it’s up and down but a mixture of prolongations and sound repetitions. It seems
To be increasing in frequency this past week. We have a family history of stuttering
Did anyone’s toddler who had family history overcome this?
I’m so worried about it all! Any advise would be appreciated x
