I was also thinking of joining toastmasters and would go with you, but I have doubt we're in the same area lol. I'm in the UK for a start. ...

I understand exactly what you're going through as I have the same problem. But before you think any further about how bad your life is look at the countless fluent people who are uneducated and stuck ...

This is what life is all about, trying to overcome obstacles. Even if you never succeed you can't ever give up. But I know it's frustrating as hell. People who don't stutter can't relate or understand...

I might come off as insensitive, but, please, stop whining. I'm sure you've already tried everything to stop stuttering, even on the phone. Since it doesn't help you're left with 2 options - you eithe...

You can't give up! Our tyrannical fluent overlords will never make it easy, but you can't pack it in. Life with a stutter is difficult but not impossible. Employers value results and will not care abo...

I am the same. If I am asked to repeat an order or directions or anything....I am screwed. It is like I over-think it the second time. ...

I was prescribed lexapro for an unrelated to stuttering reason and I've noticed that ever since I got off it I've been stuttering more. It didn't affect my stuttering while I was on it....

My native tongue is Slavic so our R is really hard, much like an Indian R I suppose. It's common for people to not be able to say R properly and it's totally fine and absolutely no one bats an eye. Do...

Thanks for the tip. A lot of the time I think it's so easy to implement, like just take a breath and talk slowly and I'll see results right away, but this speech pattern I've used has been ingrained i...

Good on you for standing up for yourself. Since you use the phrase "taking the piss out of someone," I want to ask if you're in Australia or possibly the UK? ...

That's very solid advice. However, I have one quibble. > I suggest even stuttering on purpose just to build up that confidence. Naturally, no one should tell others not to do experiments like th...

I have very quiet, fast speech, too. Part of the problem is that I talk to myself a lot in my room, as I write up essays and journals and other meditations. I need to be quiet in that context so that ...

Having been a person who was in speech therapy in third grade (8-9 yrs old), I really recommend parents don't put their child through this kind of therapy. The reason is, that kids can easily grow out...

Yeah, I get this often. It's the worst when somebody catches you off guard. Like when someone asks you for directions and you tell them you don't know just to avoid having to speak a long time. ...

I have a somewhat mild stutter. Don't get me wrong, I stutter in 90% of my sentences and I talk very fast even when I don't stutter. But I just do it. If people don't like how I speak, fuck em. I'm a ...

I didnt read your big post but to answer your title, No. I dont think you should. You're just adding more pressure on yourself to be fluent. Instead i'd recommend focusing on the interpersonal communi...
