Well, sure it's easy to quote mine and find things you disagree with. But even still, I think you missed the point of that statement. It's part of a rhetorical question that poses the question, "does...

actually i live in denmark, so that's a long way to travel ;) i've been to a couple of speech therapists during my life, and there wasn't much they could do for me. but i'm not primarily talking abou...

I just turned 25 and still haven't had a job. I'm very behind in college because I dropped a lot of classes due to my inability to cope with presentations, and now I'm shying away from the first co-op...

Sorry for making sound like that. Yeah, i'm not telling you to just do it. depending on where you are in your stuttering journey, oftentimes you cant "just do it" and trying to can sometimes backfire....

the thing that made me start to get it was realizing that though i thought i accepted my stutter (since duh, i know i stutter), I was really just acknowledging it rather than accepting it. I was simul...

sounds good for those people. what can i say? i just don't think we should go around telling all stutterers to "just do it". it makes it sound like they're just lazy (or worse) if they don't. some pe...

If you havent been to the NSA conference, I really think you need to go. I've met some people with a lot of disfluency. A lot. Who still "do it anyway". the difference is they've learned and practice ...

Havent tried it. I dont think it's a bad thing but not sure if it's going to help in stuttering....

Yeah but I think you're setting yourself up for a no win with something like that. As much as people make hiring out to be a matter of inches, there are no two people that similar. There's not going t...

I can't agree with you more on "doesn't let me be happy". I am not really depressed or suicidal, but deep down I am not happy with myself and in some way with God (sorry for the religious reference th...

I hear ya. it's probably something that too hard to do right now. Vowels are super hard to let yourself stutter on, even if you want to. Im in a new therapy program now and I still cant let myself jus...

Have you considered going (back) to speech therapy? It's really find a good therapist who gets it, but if you can it might really help....

I know exactly how you feel. In my school and college years I didn't do things to my disadvantage, just because of my stutter. Till this day it ruins my life. I am turning 24 at the end of this month,...

Have you ever tried NLP?

Have you ever tried NLP? I'm talking about Neuro-linguistic programming. I heard it might be useful. Thank you....

My lowest point

My lowest point Today at 8:00 was my first class of the new semester. I was running late, but only by about ten minutes. I could have easily showed up late, and apologized then sat down. But I didn't....

Thank you, this is a wonderful comment :) I don't necessarily think my stutter is a terrible thing, it just feels like life would be so much easier with increased fluency. Though I agree there is some...

Well said and I like your attitude. Sadly (my) reality works differently. If an employer can choose between two people with similar eduction levels, skills and work experience, they won't pick me over...

I know about that, I have met them myselfs. They tend to have a noticable stutter, but can still move forward when they speak. I have tons of blocks and are often unable to finish sentences. That make...

> at times I may need an extra moment or two to get my words together? this sounds almost trivial. there are many stutters who have extreme difficulty in getting anything out. that's not simply a...

>i feel stuttering is the only thing that doesn't let me be happy, that doesn't let me be who i am. i don't think that's a productive way to look at things. consider your stutter part of you; what...
