I'm accecpting the fact I'll always stutter but not giving up on improvement by speech therapy, and optimistic about AI combined with augmented / virtual reality that will sooner or later be a big lea...
Hey! First of all, thank you for those kind words but even more for your compassion towards your partner. It makes me happy to hear he has such an understanding and amazing person like you on his side...
Yes, but I don’t make it change the way how I am or determine my goals in life. And the less I care about it (knock on wood) I’ve been more fluent. So for me its overcoming the mental battle and telli...
Yes. And fully accepting that activates an inner power. The cliche is true - to live is to let go. And then, with this reality check and an increased meditation practice, along with purposefully d...
No, never ever let your stutter win. My stutter is however mild (but frustrating nonetheless), but the best way to beat your stutter is to carry on regardless....
This was huge for me. At some point I was just…sick of being angry about stuttering. I’ve had it my entire life and it wasn’t going anywhere and I was just tired of letting it upset me. So I just said...
Whenever I was told that as a kid I always thought: What I want to say is STFU and let me work through this. Nowadays a just ignore the person, and work through it....
53 here….. yeah, the amount of fucks given proportionately decreases as my age increases. Someone makes fun of me (yeah, adults still do that) - I don’t have time for their bullshit....
phone calls are the literal bane of my existence. it's taken me many years to get over it, and i'm still not 'over it' - i just suffer through. eventually, i just realized that it's something that you...
It sounds silly, but it's time. To be honest, until I hit 18 years of age, I was just as insecure. But I think growing up and realizing you can't beat yourself up because of the one thing you can't co...
Not so much that - more that u put so much on ur plate (from exercise to work to meditation to reading etc) that u can realize it can be tamed better. Have u ever heard of Steve Harvey when he said ‘s...
This is why they say to accept it - because like life u will have good and bad days and like stuttering u will too. Therapy only helps ‘shape’ how u speak if u want to do that but nothing will ever cu...
Man that's so cool, OP! I have a similar memory from class when I was 10-11 years old. I had a moderate stutter and when we would read the book aloud in class in rotation I would eventually get thru m...
Your situation is very similar to everyone of us who stutter. One advice I want to give you, never let yourself down no matter what. Don't let stutter define yourself, I know it sucks talking to peopl...
The older you get, the less you stop caring seems to be the sentiment on the sub and for me personally....
It does suck but it’s one of those things that you need to accept it and keep going it took me until now (20M) to fully accept it and now I’m going for an engineering degree...
You're good, this stuff is hard - but it is def possible to achieve really not caring about speech differences. Tell yourself that if someone reacts poorly, that's on them, you've done nothing wrong....
Stuttering isn't happening to you, YOU are stuttering. Now what are you going to do about that?...
As a severe stutterer too, I am letting you know all of those goals are possible. I am willing to bet that you have more of a fear problem than a stuttering problem. Not to say speaking is not hard,...
It's really interesting if you think about it. It started when I was trying to say something like: "I want to go home." The word "I" was the problem for me. I would go like: "I, I, I, I, I, I...
