Just Another Rant

Just Another Rant Anyone else feel like life would be a whole lot better if you could either just be completely fluent or lose the ability to speak altogether. I feel like it would be so much less of ...

Sadly I would say yes. Granted, my life right now isn’t “bad”, I have a great job and a relatively active social life. However, the stutter is mentally draining and it has definitely caused me to alte...

I can totally feel you. When the teacher ask me to read infront of the class that embarrassing moment, when there is a viva I can't express myself and every damn time I know the answer, when I have to...

I definitely get this. I’ve stuttered since I was in 4th grade. Never had a shred of self confidence since. I never spoke up in school and I never made new friends. It’s ruined my self confidence ...

Exposure therapy mostly (never avoiding talking even when I have the option to) once I start avoiding things like ordering food or talking on the phone and stuff like that they become worse for me. I...

I mean obviously I really oversimplified it, it took me over a year to slow down and just it’s really about putting yourself out there I guess like food ordering and such, I remember in seventh grade ...
