I'm 17, and even though some stutterers would say I have a mild stutter, I still struggle and I still hope that one day it will go away - except I'm realizing it will not. But this slow realization t...

Well i think the vast majority of people (stutterers included) are experts in breathing. we've been doing it perfectly well all our lives. But sometimes we can interfere with the breathing process as ...

Stuttering and breath, anyone else?

Stuttering and breath, anyone else? I've never been able to really breathe through my nose very well. I've got tiny noseholes or something, and cannot get enough air through them to comfortably breath...

sorry, i dont know what that is...

I definitely know what you mean, except I do this with other things other than stuttering. I think that's just our fear throwing fantasies over us so we just stay dreaming, feel good, and dont take ac...

Nope. I'll never stop stuttering completely. I'll have my good days and my bad days. I can hope to do all I can to make sure my good days outnumber the bad ones. The sooner you come to terms with this...

What do you think other people think?

What do you think other people think? For those to whom it's not obvious I have a stutter, I can never really tel what they think of the stops, or my techniques for avoiding them. When I straight up s...

I do feel this way a lot. I'm only 16, and I've been hoping since I was about 8 that my stutter would go away when I was older, I've kept telling myself it will get better... It hasn't and this has l...

Do we all feel like we're all waiting for that breakthrough that will make us so confident that we'll be relieved from our stutter?

Do we all feel like we're all waiting for that breakthrough that will make us so confident that we'll be relieved from our stutter? It has come to my realisation that for nearly my whole life I've bee...

I mean honestly what the fuck. Reading the op was kinda heartbreaking for me. And that shit about "in the real world people wont be patient with you" what the fuck man, have he ever stepped outside th...

you're avoiding facing your fear head on and using a workaround which is avoiding. A lot of PWS do avoid and it only reinforces the fear they have in stuttering. Tricks and workaround dont give you ...

Yes, it can be seen as an avoidance behavior although I personally tend to rather see it as a workaround. You're not avoiding the situation, you're using technology to your advantage to get involved ...

Wow. My dad never seemed impatient or unsupportive of me for my stutter. I need to thank him. Im sorry for those of you that have parents that are impatient with you for this :/...

I think he's forgetting that he's not just any person...he's your dad. It's sad dude. Sometimes it literally takes one to actually *know* one, and I'm realizing stuttering is an example of this. Even ...

Is this on the /r/ sound in the beginning of a word? A lisp occurs on an /s/ or "th" sound (sounds that are in the front portion of the mouth) typically so I would not believe that you are avoiding a ...

I'm a speech and language pathologist (speech therapist). A lisp is produced with sounds like s, z, ch, sh, and j (jelly). Difficulties with the R could be called a distortion or a simple substitution...

what's your opinion on this?

what's your opinion on this? i stutter a lot on the letter R, mostly get blocked and can't say the word. keeping that in mind, people who are born with lisps can't say certain words properly either, b...

I have thought about this before, but i just keep reminding myself this is an avoidance behavior that will only hurt you in the long run. ...
