how to beat your stutter (16M) im a big believer that stuttering is a curable thing, so I'm going to keep it short. as a disclaimer, beating this thing will take a lot of willpower and time; if you aren't ready to change, this won't work for you. therapy and dumb breathing excercises didnt work for me. exercises didn't you have to talk to people. im starting from omegle, i just go on there and talk to people for 2 hours. the first 20 minutes are rough, but after that my talking becomes 70% more fluent. i stutter more when talking to women, obv. but that will also get better. i ended my session today after i spoke to a beautiful Japanese girl, for 40 whole minutes. i stuttered a decent amount, but the girl didn't care, she didn't notice it enough to comment on it. her English was also damaged, she also couldn't pronounce some words like me, or used wrong grammer. but none of us cared. this made me realize, people dont care as much as YOU think. omegle is a good start. you for the first time will see after some time you can also speak better than you thought you could. After Omegle, you can try to talk to people irl. say good morning, nice outfit, good day, etc to people passing by or if you go to the gym, ask someone to spot you, ask how many sets they have left, etc these steps can be scary, and may take a long time to get to. but as long as you TRY to talk to people, you will get better.
