Shameless obvious advertising aside, "I know from experience, dude" and I know like 30 other people for whom fluency shaping doesn't work. In fact, I think i've only met one or two stutterers who have...

I totally feel you. I used to stutter in my native language, but I learned to manage it and today I'm fluent. However, when it comes to english, I feel like a failure. The worst part is that I feel th...

Of coarse it's hard to deal with and some people don't even understand how it feels. I don't know the type of stutter you have. I have the "block" one...if I can call it that. It is as if the word or ...

Stuttering has taken a massive shit on my emotions and outlook on life. If I didn't stutter I would have maybe been outgoing because of how I am at home with my family. I talk a lot and crack jokes al...

I'm sorry to hear that your stutter is affecting your life. I can totally understand where you are coming from. Once the cat is out of the bag that you stutter, it gets so much easier. People will get...

Anyone here who feels like their stutter keeps them from doing things in life should seek out speech therapy. There are many things you can do to work towards acceptance of the disorder. It worked for...

People know you stutter, right? I mean, cat's already out of the bag, might as well stop avoiding it. Take whatever time and/or action you need to get your message out. Really, when you think about it...

Low esteem is definitely related to stuttering. Sometimes my days start shitty, sometimes they start good, but however, I've learned that my conversation with people can influence that a lot. If I t...

I hate calls, forced introductions, and roll calls. Luckily they don't bother with constant roll in college or work. Take it as a reason to be punctual--the tardy people will always be asked their nam...
