Trying to have a better control over my speech is not faking. Improving fluency is not faking to be fluent. My aim is not to fit in with fluent speakers, but to speak fluently. Trying to improve is di...

bro, we're stutterers. Our natural state is stuttering and speaking poorly, and we always try to be fluent. that's just as "fake" as me. It's more just fitting in...

Ok. Whatever makes you feel happy. If you have to fake to be a part of a group, i truly doubt if you can authentically ever feel part of that group. But again, I would be happy to be wrong and hope th...

I think that voices are kind of a bimodal distribution, in that its totally possible for a female to have a deep voice, but the vast majority of female voices are higher and vice versa. It'd just be e...

Why do you need to use a fake voice? This is a genuine doubt. I want to understand. Do you feel a female should speak in a certain way and if you happen to speak in that way, it makes you female and...

I'm first language English, it's just that I don't speak "fluently" because I stutter...

I think it’s better to stutter then to get caught in a lie. I don’t think anything will come from your particular story though. I did a more extreme version of this during summer camp. It was with G...

I believe that accepting it it’s the first step of living freely with it. King george VI was a stammerer and was loved by a whole nation, many other influential persons were stutterers. Ever since I s...

Huh? I think there’s some confusion here First of all, even fluent people are never 100 % fluent. Tim is very successful in speaking quite fluently and I consider myself fluent after using his po...

Brudda that kinda opened my eyes. I forget all about confidence when I'm trying to flirt. But when I'm talking to someone I know I don't even think twice about my stutter...

Stuttering does not define who you are as a person, and it should not impact how people see you in terms of romantic interest. Genuine connections and relationships are built on understanding, accepta...

I wish I could give you a straight "do this" answer. The best I can say is just be smooth about it. Slip it into one of your online conversations naturally. Be casual about it, like it's just another ...

Get them to know your personality first online, the real you that's inside, then just drop it in there, ... If they are worth getting to know then they won't mind,.. Back in my dating years there wa...

I would suggest you to keep smiling wherever you talk, it eases me. And instead of concentrating on the words that come out of my mouth, i try speaking in a passionate fashion, maybe sometimes with ac...

Sometimes (though I’ve never actually went through with it), I’ve considering posing as a mute/deaf person.. though maybe it looks like it when I persistently point at something instead of saying what...

Do.you ever portray yourself as something you're not just to kinda hide the fact you stutter? This may seem like a confusing question cause hell I couldn't even find the right wording for it. But basi...

Opening up and disclosing it beforehand takes bravery and you should be proud of yourself for that. As 25-year-old male who stutters since birth, I rarely disclose it before a conversation with strang...

Same here (although not Italian).. I will sometimes, if I feel a stutter come up, choose an English word or phrase that sounds "less native", if you will, because it's easier to get out. This helps my...

Yes, very overwhelming. I just stayed to myself and focused on my studies. I do have some regrets, never again will I be young and in a place full of other young people... but equally its just who I a...

well when i talk about how i stutter i dont stutter even if i tried...
