How does being a selective mute impact your social life? Do you still have friends you hang out with and what about relationships? ...

It doesn't mean he should become a mute. That's giving up....

If he literally cannot utter a word "facing your fears" has nothing to do with it....

True, but it's better than not talking at all because of it....

I'm not exaggerating, my mom has secretly timed me saying an ordinary sentence. She was just like...I don't want to make you mad, but it took you a little over 10 minutes to say that. That was the fi...

thats too vague. I bet many of us force ourselves to talk and it hasnt done anything to curb our fears. We often dont know what we're afraid of and thus dont have a good strategy on how to overcome i...

Some people really do take over a minute just to get out a single sound. I have problems with this too....

They offer scholarships. Contact them. you're wasting your own time if you dont do everything you can to go!...

I've found that having a slight buzz helps my fluency. At this point most people don't even notice my stutter anyway but it helps if I'm having a rough day or I'm nervous around new people. The other ...

I'm right there with you, friend. I'm four months shy of my 30th birthday. Have been in one form or another of speech therapy since I was 5. My stutter too, is so severe it can take me upwards of te...

The dictionary definition of "dumb" is "lacking the human power of speech." So I assume that is why he phrased his response how he did. To your question, I've never once thought about becoming mute....

I've found that .25 mg helps me. I get tired and my stutter sometimes worsens if I do more than that. I also advise not to do it everyday or you'll get used to it and require a higher dose for the sam...

I think everything affects everyone differently, though there might be some things that commonly help or hurt fluency. I can be very fluent while drunk, yet I know someone who's stuttering gets worse ...
