Same for me. I think it’s because when we talk about stuttering we aren’t trying hard not to stutter. So the pressure of speaking fluent is gone and that’s why we speak fluent....

The only speech therapist I've had focused on a lot of strategies for releasing tension in your mouth and vocal folds, which included some of the things you mentioned, like diaphragmatic breathing. We...

Honestly letting people know that I have a stutter has helped mine a lot. It's like I'm not hiding it anymore and for some reason that makes me more fluent....

Sometimes it feels like I’d be more ambitious without the stutter, but that doesn’t help. On the bright side, I have a filter for things I want to say. It gives me a chance to reconsider before it pop...

I remember your post from a while ago, and I tried to reach out to you but you never replied. I used to think like that, "I will just give up and live with my parents and be a jobless bum forever". B...

Just accept that you stutter. Don’t try to escape it. It won’t change so don’t try to tie your worth to not stuttering....

For me, the only thing that worked was desensitization through voluntary stuttering. 3-4 easy repetitions on words where i would not stutter normally. With time i managed to apply it to real stutterin...

I did my masters and current working on my PhD. I kept introduction short lol. It also helps to understand that if you're doing this in w class with more than, say, ten people, almost no one is going ...

OP is sad they don’t have friends. Sad repels people. Happy attracts people. So fake being happy until you attract enough friends to actually BE happy. Fake ….it….till….you….make….it!!!!!...

The one good thing sometimes is that it makes you think about what you say. Sometimes, when I block so hard that I can't say a word it gives me time to think about what I'm actually saying, and Somet...

Sounds like an excellent approach! /s ​ Jokes aside, like I've said, faking positivity doesn't help you in any way and may work to your disadvantage. Being positive does, but it can't rea...

Fake it? Sure, you may not want to dampen the mood or drag your friends down. But faking a smile doesn’t benefit you (because you still feel annoyed) or your friends (who may see through your inauthen...

This feels a bit like toxic positivity I'd say: Acknowledge you have a disadvantage out of your control. Work on reducing negative feelings and anxiety about your stutter. Push yourself into uncom...

This happens a lot I’d be very interested in a topic or conversation that I’ll have a lot to say about especially with friends but because of my stutter I don’t get to say as much as I’d like due to m...

Wow. This. Thank you so much for this- you have a lot of wisdom and I appreciate your honesty. I COMPLETELY hear what you’re saying, I feel like since it got worse the past two years I’ve HAD to talk ...

Wow... That's a big question. It didn't happen overnight. And just as each of us differs in our stutters and our fluencies, I expect my process / path differs as well. As such, none of this is gospel...

Yep because when you talk about your stutter, you are moving away the barrier between you and the listener. You realizing that listener is "safe to speak" and you are creating a new safe space. This g...

No problems. Good luck! Another hot tip I've learnt just from getting old is. 99.9% of people don't actually care if you stutter. They only react to how much you care about your stutter. If you app...
