I am 60 years d now and try not to think about my speech much, and that helps. I remember feeling so enclosed, restricted and lonely. Please keep going, share your humor, intelligence and love. It doe...

Does it ever get better?

Does it ever get better? I am 27.. I have a mild and covert stutter. Some days I don’t stutter and some days I do. But every day it’s in my head. I get pleased when I go to bed and haven’t stuttered a...

Yes! It was part of a residential program I did in Geneseo NY many years ago. Definitely helped me. If I start feeling avoidant about blocking I will go out and openly stutter, I find it helpful...

I always try to put myself in situations where I know I’m not comfortable. For example, speaking up in class or giving oral exams really triggers me, but I know I can’t spend my whole life trying to a...

You can do more than you think

You can do more than you think I’m a woman with a moderate to severe stutter. I can’t hide it, also I don’t try. I stutter openly in every conversation that I have, and I have a lot of them. I’m gradu...

I have read «speech is like a river» and it helped me a lot. This post made me start to read «redefining stuttering» so thanks OP!:)...

Off and on I’ve considered it. I never have because it’s taking me an awfully long time to realize that if somebody has a problem with my stuttering, that’s their problem not mine. Of course it has de...

I fully agree with this. I’m 25M & I’ve had a moderate severe stutter my whole life. I’ve done speech therapy when I was 18 using the camper down method but I didn’t really find that useful. Fast forw...

it doesn't require a high IQ to buy and invest. i'm not saying he's a complete idiot, just that there isn't any reason to think he's some kind of genius...

I do this, sometimes I say tha-tha-th-tha-thats all folks right after I stutter, cant fight it, cant cure it but I sure as heck can change how I respond to it and humors my go to. I never really feel ...

Do like me, nothing. If you have a ritual after each stutter it can become a vicious circle. I prefer to tell myself that it doesn't matter, as long as it's understandable it's okay....

I've also been able to greatly improve my self-confidence because of this, it's easy to see, hardly anyone can articulate themselves "perfectly", many people who stutter probably have a more intensive...

Thank you for sharing. I really connected with what you said about learning to handle more intense moments of stuttering as you’ve gotten older. I’ve experienced something similar—my mindset has defi...

I went on a trip when I was about 15, me and 9 other kids with a stutter spent a week away in Stoke on Trent at a manor, I wish I could remember its name. It was so comforting to feel like I wasn't th...

I consider myself privileged because till date no one has ever made fun of me. everyone I meet has been incredibly supportive. The main issue is how I am not able to accept it, it makes me vulnerable...

"Hey man, I really feel you on this. I’ve struggled with stammering too, and approaching people — especially someone you're attracted to — can feel like climbing a mountain. But you're definitely not ...

Would you use an app/ website for stuttering support, built by a fellow stutterer and a speech therapist?

Would you use an app/ website for stuttering support, built by a fellow stutterer and a speech therapist? **Like many of you, I (28M) have stuttered for as long as I can remember.** Lately, I’ve seen...

I do. But a lot less than I used to. Speech therapy was the main help, along with finding personal growth. The gym helped a lot, reading out loud, being more social, not being scared, going out more, ...

yes and he is a head of an activist group that I am a part of but I don't talk about it but it warms my heart....

Acceptance is the only way. We have the privilege to have a daily challenge that is constantly humbling us. I know it sucks at times, but with the right outlook you can turn it to your advantage. Thin...
