Worse than bad

Worse than bad I was today on a meeting with friends. Sun, vacation vibe, playing, and a lots of talking. And my speech was worse than bad. I stuttered near EVERY. FU**ING. WORD. That was horrible. Ev...

Forcing is counter productive. Forcing most things is usually not the right way. You don't want to fight against your stutter, you want to learn that it's ok and let it happen. When you stop fighting ...

Up until I was twenty, I stuttered, and that was it. However, over the last twenty-eight years, I’ve been accumulating a fine collection of secondary behaviours. It started with tongue-clicking. ...

Anyone else bite their mouth more than the average non-stuttering person?

When I was little words starting with an 'a' syllable were very hard for me to speak, now I have difficulty speaking words starting from 'r' syllable. Today during my chemistry class, the teacher wa...

Man, I agree with you about eye contact. For me anyway it's awkward, plus it seems like too many things to focus on at once when I'm trying to get my words out....

Man, yeah, kids are mean. There was even one boy who was imitating me with exaggerated facial contortions and everything. It sucks to not even be able to talk properly to tell people off....

One positive I can take from your suggestions, is the fact I would never have to voluntarily stutter, or make it my mission to do so. It’s a 100% guarantee, so at least that part is 0% effort on my pa...

My only dream is to speak without using so much effort. It's exhausting navigating what's so effortless for everyone else. I really do think I'd be happy if I could just say "hi" without people throwi...
