Took me 40 years to understand this, and i wish most people, esp youngsters would understand it, and not have to go through the pain and suffering i went through: making fluency your goal will ruin...

Definitely. Now, I've really stopped caring but it wasn't possible for me before. We have to keep reminding ourselves "so what if we aren't 100% fluent." And try to get as fluent _as is possible _...

I discovered that I was taking myself too seriously, I didn't even know how to smile at people. When I had the chance to reflect I discovered that I'm not important, in fact I'm already at rock bottom...

If it's really your anxiety that is causing issues (anxiety aggravates the stutter), then there's hope! Work on changing your mindset about your anxiety. Everytime you get anxious about talking to s...

Dude I'm the same age, what helped me is going to a regular therapist, find the root of your stutter. Once you've done that you'll feel better about it and wich at less caused me not to care as much a...

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. I think your mom has a point. The more you put yourself out there, the easier it becomes. When things get easier, you begin to try new things, and the o...

Stop being a wimp. Look does it suck yes. Will you het through this - yes. Get therapy and stop caring about what others think....

the only way out is through. taking steps to accept your stutter will eventually disconnect the bad emotions related to your stutter. we get lost in our heads - we become scared to stutter and the sha...

100% agree with u/Muttly2001 and u/ShutupPussy Commit to doing it. Shut down the negative thoughts and anxiety. Refusing to speak is the worst choice....

People think what they will. Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to even form an opinion of a stutter. I announce that I am a person who stutters at first meeting. They can think what ...

Thank you for reminding us✌️🙏(honestly really glad to hear you're over your block, as much as you have described) I was thinking you'd end by asking if it was weird to stop and I was already rushing ...

I don't much care anymore what people think.. I announce I have a speech impediment if it's someone new and I'm having a bad day.. they can choose to not conversate with me and that's fine. But.. tha...

In my experience, and what I've observed here, PWS carry a lot of emotional baggage associated with our disfluency. I achieved fluency working with an SLP, but I certainly carried a lot of the stutte...

Also explore what you can do against it. What worked wonders for me, is self confidence hypnosis and if I may be so direct, weed. All in all, the key for me is being confident and relaxed...

Especially working, it’s possible it’s not the medication that makes you stutter less, but the confidence you have from being more prepared for work conversations resulting from the better focus. I ...

I was just prescribed a run of the mill anti anxiety/anti depressant for the second time in my life the other day. OMG the difference is already night and day. Ive been an absolute mess my whole lif...

Accept that you stutter and stutter is not how you are. Set goals and try to achieve them....

Spontaneity is certainly better than planning every word. For job interviews I never plan exactly what I'm going to say. I'll prepare relevant things to talk about but not how I'm going to phrase them...

Acceptance in terms of resignation and doing nothing about it - no. Why would anyone do that? That's ignoring it, not accepting it. Acceptance in terms of realising the problem is there and understan...

I disagree with the "acceptance is the key" premise. IMO, effective speech therapy is the key to fluency. BUT... Only you can make the decision on what is right for you. AND... Today's decisions ...
