I started college after stuttering all through elementary, middle school, and high school. I was incredibly internalized at that point so I was dreading my speech class the entire summer beforehand. ...

One thing I really appreciate from having stuttered my whole life is that fact that I was quiet a lot and read books all the time. Because of that and the fact that I substituted words all the time a...

I'm a first generation, native speaking Hispanic and I stutter in English and Spanish. It's worse in Spanish for me I believe because, my English vocabulary is more extensive. I often switch to a syno...

Regarding your three factors, I felt the exact same way when I was your age -- I'm 35 now. What I will say is that I regret not talking in the foreign language more. I'm a native English speaker who l...

I've noticed for me that since I don't talk as much, I listen a lot more. I've also noticed that there a lot of people who talk just for the sake of talking. They feel like they have to contribute som...

I dont think it would vanish, but you'd need to be really careful not to reassociate any of those negative connotations and feelings towards stuttering that you likely have now. If you could do that, ...

I took speech in college a few years ago. It really depends on your professor and you. I talked to mine the first day to let him know I stutter. They are usually understanding and will offer alternat...

Perfectionism seems to be an universal trait amongst stutterers. It actually works agains us. We are trying to achieve perfect fluency while not even people that are fluent are fluent 100% of the time...

I had to take it as a pre-requisite. Definitely wouldn't have taken it on my own free will. I approached it with a positive attitude though. As some people have mentioned, it's much easier to inform t...

You're spot-on with this. I always feel like a 6 year old when I point to the menu item or have my wife order for me....

Master your breathing. It might sound too easy, but speaking mostly while exhaling has really helped me with stuttering. Remember those blocks you get when stressed? Turns out you won't get them(as mu...

It's not something that I do intentionally. But I'd say I don't talk very loud in general. I also seem to pronunciate poorly... I've noticed that in some cases, like when I order some food at a restau...

this sounds a bit like me. I changed schools then started getting blocks. I get blocks quite often still but it has improved slightly. It did used to be very severe though. I'm not the best speaker as...

I took the courage to go and regularly talk to people. Best decision I've made. I feel a bit more comfortable approaching people now....

It's a good idea to put yourself in situations when you are forced to speak. Just let the instructor know you have the impediment....

Well i had to take a comm class in college and it was one of the most fun classes I had. I am a fairly severe stutterer so since introductions people knew I stuttered. But it was a fun class and i was...

I feel the same way man, it's like a light switch, suddenly I remember O stutter and what letters are hard to say (for me ot's vowels and b's and d's are the worst), but I feel it limits me as well, b...

You will be if you don't try to better yourself. One thing you can do is to stop giving a fuck. This is incredibly hard to do but it is attainable. I'm going to order my own food today, sounds like no...

[NSFW] [Language] I laughed out loud the first time I saw this. Nothing wrong with laughing at yourself once in awhile. :)

For me, I worry about what people will think or say when I stutter, I don't mind my stutter when I'm online and therefore I don't stutter. Good huh? I would advise talking as much as possible when yo...
