Wedding Bows

Wedding Bows Hello my fellow stutterers, so I am going to get married in a few months and we are going to have a ceremony in which I will have to say my vows infront of the guests (maybe around 60 pe...

The struggle is real. We all know it. Fortunately, we live in a time where we can mitigate a lot of our weakness through the use of computers. Texts, email, posts on Reddit. Try to focus on productive...

Indeed. The majority of tasks that people wouldn't see as anything are very difficult to do for stutterers. I still get very embarrassed in the moment but I don't really care afterwards. Before I woul...

I think for stutterers like us, speech pathology isn't really the answer. I'd always speak fluently in therapy because I was very relaxed and didn't care what the teacher thought of me. I think some f...

It has absolutely effected my life and still does. I’ve always had a pretty stoic personality, so the teasing and the anxiety that often goes with stuttering didn’t bring my success to a grinding halt...

Oh yeah. I call it tactical fluency. I too noticed that whenever I talked in an American accent or like Littlefinger from game of thrones I never stuttered. Its really effective for things like one...

I'd love to believe that good things happen to good people, but unfortunately, to get good things you have to go out and get them. And some of those things for stutterers can be terrifying. I hope th...

I understand what you're going through. I sometimes have good periods of fluency and then other times my speech is so bad I give up talking for a while. I'm slowly getting accustomed to the embarras...

Ordering food. Introducing myself. My name starts with a M and I can't say Ms with out stuttering, and now my daughters name as well which starts with a B. Using the phone is the worse so any situatio...

Luckily not but the "Th" sound particularly in "Thank you" has been pretty hard for me the last several years. Seems to slowly fluctuate which sounds give me trouble. So many times, literally uncoun...

Yeah I haven't been able to completely lose my stutter as an adult. The way I beat it however was through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, not giving a fuck anymore and simply talking a ...

I have noticed that once I started working and talking to multiple people from across the US on a daily basis(large corporation) I've become much more fluent. Putting myself outside of my comfort zone...

How old are you? My speech therapist in middle school had me go to the admin office, let them know what I was doing, and told them my favorite vacation trip. I did this to four different people. It wa...

Definitely start small, but the most important thing to remember is that it's going to suck SO BAD sometimes. You're going to feel all those things we tend to feel as stutterers (embarrassment, shame,...

Yes I agree. I'm a teacher and stutter much less than I did when I was in high school, even in college. There are still moments, like when I'm in a new situation, specifically with hard consonants. Al...

Not really. My letters I have problems with are short A's, H's, and the "Sh" sound. I actually use different greetings to avoid the H sound, which is the hardest for me to say. Instead of saying "h...

Yesssss, my last name starts with Ca....so when I say my full name, I have to say my first name, followed my an ummmm, then hope I don't stutter on my last name lol...

From what I've heard, there's no way of *completely* getting rid of your stuttering behavior once you're an adult. I've seen several speech therapists the past few years, and that was pretty much the ...

do you suggest taking baby steps so to speak? Making sure to talk to new people every day? Or what was your strategy?...

Just tell them you know exactly what you want to say but your brain has misplaced how to say it. Having struggled with them myself, C's and M's can be especially difficult because pronouncing them sta...
