Very awkward and if you asked me a few years ago to do this would defiantly not be up for it but i'm 27 and enough is enough. If I can't fix the block I CAN fix my posture/eye contact, etc. I have c...

Thanks! I really feel today was a breakthrough. Ive begun to keep a speech journal to document every social interaction each day and to focus on the positives. I find that stutterers get discouraged...

I'm a first year med student with a stutter and I worry a lot about ending up in a situation where I get passed over for a residency spot because of it. You perfectly described how I feel when my stut...

That attitude alone is what has helped me overcome much of my stuttering. Just like you said, thinking "f*ck it, I can do this" and actually talking without fear. Keep it up, get motivated by your pro...

it's one of the techniques that can be used: to initiate your stutter on your own, and get good at it this way. i don't know how long it takes to get results, because i gave up on it myself when i tri...

I feel you pain. I'm sure we can all sympathize with feeling closed off from the world. Struggling with tasks that come naturally to others is emotionally taxing. Last year I was interviewing for jo...

Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes. Are his questions not valid? Why would an interviewer try and offend you? ...

>than they otherwise would be. actually, you don't know that. or rather, you can't say that. sure, you could picture yourself without a stutter, but if that's the case, you could also picture your...

Thank you! I'm sure I'm being overly sensitive about it, since I'm always on guard about my stuttering. But his comment about speech recognition still sticks with me...I hope other employers don't thi...

Yeah you're right, I'm just down about it now. I just feel that my interactions with people are much more restricted than they otherwise would be....

>It's closed off an entire world to me. i don't think that's entirely true. it might seem that way at times, but you can still communicate. it's just not the same way as most other people. but it'...
