>"Please give me some hope. Damn, wish I never stuttered or my doctor was right and that I recovered on my own. " Maybe these **MCguire tips** could help you recover, or at least improve your stutter disorder (source: this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/yl5p0w/tips_to_improve_stuttering_according_to_the_book/)) * Build confidence against feared letters/situations * Resist time pressure * Eye contact * Perfect timing: breathe out when moving your mouth. Don't pause. Speak immediately after breathing out * Turn negative perceptions - i.e. a feared letter - into positive beliefs - I can overcome this letter. This is the overkill-technique where fear turns into a boring feeling * Find supportive friends: Accept that you are in the beginning phase to learn the speaking skill. Convey this also to listeners (disclosure). Explain to your supportive friends your new way of speaking * Stop using techniques/tricks * Don't avoid * Change your entire speaking personality * Practice improving your physical and mental speaking habits * Build discipline to improve your personal speaking skill * Concentrate on your performance * Practice Hearing Yourself. Learn to know your own voice * Change your Intentions, Behaviors, Emotions, Physical state, Perceptions and Beliefs towards your speaking skill * Be assertive, i.e. by thinking: "I have the right to overcome stuttering" "I have the right to not listen to other people's judgement" * Have a desire to speak comfortably * Analyze how you are trying to not stutter VS how to speak correctly * Always do your best speaking in all situations
