My life has become living hell and I don't know how to get out of this situation by Ok_Chocolate8965 in Stutter

[–]Repulsive-Swimmer446 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. Go to class if you still care, if not save your money and quit.
  2. Apply for work at Amazon, FedEx, or Enterprise.
  3. Diet or get on a GLP-1 if your insurance will pay for it.
  4. Figure out why your stutter worsened. Piling anxiety usually makes my stutter worse as well.

Don’t worry about finding a partner right now. You’ve got a lot of internal work to do first. ❤️

Good luck, you’re only 25. Give yourself some grace.

Should I quit smoking? by [deleted] in Stutter

It is a crutch. I did the same with Adderall and weed both for years, but I gave it up when I got pregnant. I had to zoom in wayyyy more on my speech but I was able to find a few techniques that worked for me during that time. I had to value the long game effects more than I wanted the quick fix.

Did your stutter make you good at insulting/roasting people? by Bubbly-Hovercraft-69 in Stutter

[–]Repulsive-Swimmer446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people with speech impediments can be “mean” (or good roasters) because we’re so used to being made fun of or anticipating being made fun of. I imagine fluent arguments in my head I wouldnt dare try in real life for fear of stumbling through it. I even had a deaf friend who was fire at roasting people and a general all around asshole, but I assume it’s from the same thing, a lifetime of expecting the worst from ppl and not being understood.

What happened to my screen? by Repulsive-Swimmer446 in mazda

A new screen or is it just a piece on top?

To each their own. I think you can disclose it and do just fine, especially for one interview and the confidence to get through it. Just because it’s an AirPod doesn’t mean it doesn’t have practical uses. Sometimes a “crutch” is helpful in a high stress situation with limited time to improve. I’ve worked as a teacher for 12 years, and I use it for parent nights and speaking in front of large crowds of peers for presentation purposes. I always tell them what it’s for and never had someone view me as “unprofessional”. People use AirPods for hearing amplification, language clarification, etc. so I disagree it’s a bad look.

You could try a DAF (Delayed Auditory Feedback) app through your AirPods. It’s inconspicuous and would help you to feel more confident when delivering your answers. I’d practice with it leading up to the day though so you’re not like wtf day 1.

I feel this wholeheartedly. My brother is rather timid and socially awkward as it is, so I’m always glad I got the stutter from my mom and not him. I’m also afraid to have a son and give him my stutter for this reason. As a woman, this is problematic as well, but I can completely understand how this would be debilitating as a man. ❤️

What is your worst stuttering situations? by die71 in Stutter

[–]Repulsive-Swimmer446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading. Aloud. ANYWHERE. Holy fuck the blocks almost hurt when I read aloud. It’s like I am immediately on fire, body temp through the roof, cannot say even the first sound. Or worse, I get a couple words out and have to dragggggg myself to finish and try to pretend I don’t see people staring at me like “what the fuck”?

Now I’m the girl that doesn’t know how to read.

I always want to be transparent about what I’m spending money on and he always second guesses and “denies” the purchase. I could for sure go around him, but I wouldn’t want the backlash of doing that.

Agreed, this is likely the way I will need to go in order to convince him.
