It's a bit like sleep ain't it. The harder you try the less you are likely to fall asleep. You have to just accept that you need to lie down still. ...

It's not absurd at all. Its is surprisingly one of the fewest things that is simple to explain. It's just consciousness. If you are conscious and doubt yourself you will definitely stutter. But inst...

I don’t want to discourage stuttering community. However, this is my thoughts on our situation. Yes, we have this condition and should live with this. Some of us manage to control it and feel no li...

I felt this way forever. Now I really don’t anymore. But looking back, especially when I was at school, worrying about the stutter was a much bigger problem than the stutter itself. I wasted most o...

Create an identity statement. You behave and perform based on who you believe you are. Use your identity statement to reinforce who you want to be. Example identity statement - I am not afraid to st...

Easy. You show up. Being hesitant about applying for jobs because you’ll have trouble speaking at the interview is quite simply letting it kick your ass. So you show up, and let it be what it is. You...

It is depressing and it is understandable why. As social creatures we have an innate desire to be accepted by and loved by others. Its hard to love ourselves when others around you don't accept you fo...

It’s always been the same on here over the years. It’s unfortunate, but it’s just simply a fact that stuttering can be painful, traumatic, isolating amongst many other things. I also think a lot of y...

If the hiring team had that impression, that impression already exists. Your withdrawing your application will not change that impression. The interviewers will still think what they think. That ship ...

I'm 25 - my parents have spent well over $10k on therapy and nothing has worked. I've dealt with the same issues ever since I was very young. I recall the times when I was in elementary school and I w...

>Self love and self kindness is the only way any of us are going to live peacefully You're right. As another user said, it's a cycle. We must find a way to break it. I thought I did, but then a bad e...

Stammering is ruining my life!!

Stammering is ruining my life!! Backstory: I am a 27 year old man living in the UK and I have a stammer. I have had it since the age of six. It has definitely shaped who I have become. I was born extr...

The truth is that taking it subjectively and/or objectively could be very different. A PWS if he/she is obsessed with the difficulty (even a light one), can perceive it as a tragedy. I knew one g...

I struggle with all vowels and most consonants , at this point it takes so much energy to speak that I choose to stay silent or if convey - convey in writing so that I don't go through that excruciati...

True I hope I can get the same mental toughness as you but the face of rejection from various institutes repeatedly on face because I stutter has kind of shattered me to the core . It's just sad at th...
