If you THINK you can’t, then you are correct. The point of a job like that is to FORCE you to do it. Trust me, when you have a job that you have to say something over and over and over, it becomes mu...

This is amazing, I love it!! 😂 This isn't even close, but it's probably all I got. I have had co-workers ask me to proof their emails or help write them, saying they're asking because I write well....

I often experience the same as you. There are moments when words flow out smoothly, but then in other situations, the same words become difficult to say, yet at another moment, they come out effortles...

It’s similar to me but I get it during mid sentences as well. Only a few people know I stutter though which makes things a lot harder for me as it’s constantly trying to it. People think I’m less conf...

You are thinking right and your question is valid. With stuttering the more thoughts and energy we put into it the more we support the internal framework that already exists that supports it and gives...

Interesting that you mention that. At one point I decided to remove any language that was tied to stuttering. I realized these words carried a significant amount of emotion and this emotion increased ...

As long as we make stuttering a battle it seems to get worse. I was a pro athlete and tried bringing the same mentality to overcoming stuttering, it failed miserably and actually would worsen. It’s mo...

This is kind of turning into a “who has it worse” thread and I think discussions like this could not be more redundant. You see this debate in all corners of reddit and it never goes anywhere because ...

Yes. All the time when I’m struggling with bad periods of stuttering. It’s very hard to display your personality because to do that you have to speak. And when you have such a big personality inside, ...

It seems like how you feel definitely affects your speech. Like you, I had difficulty speaking with my mum when I was younger (and my dad). Fluent speech while arguing indicates that when you are impa...

The person who probably inspired me most as a stutterer was a girl I met in college. She was the first person I'd met who just embraced her stutter, didn't try and hide it and just talked anyway. Di...

Big +1, it was doing this that robbed my stutter of it's power. I allowed myself the humanity to express my annoyance at it and even the humor in it. Blocking is annoying, getting stuck on one single ...
