Being physically fit and having a dream body will make you more confident and you will make many friends in gym so you will start talking more like it is the place where you rarely stutter because you...

Listen…Life with a healthy and functional body is a blessing. There are people with horrible diseases that would trade spots with us in a heartbeat....

We already are. Blind people focus on the good in their life too, along with deaf people and mentally disabled people. It’s a universal experience that disabled people wish to be normal sometimes, and...

M33 fellow stutterer. Best thing I can say is that it does get better. I was much more self-conscious about my stutter 10 years ago, even moreso 20 years ago. I used to think how I ever could get a jo...

I got diagnosed at 43 years old. Medication hasn’t really made a change but simply growing older, caring less about what others think and being more comfortable in my own skin reduced the stutter a lo...

I wasn’t necessarily referring to your understanding of acceptance, apologies. Just the general idea that I see often on this subreddit. I often see acceptance being referred to as a battle, a fight ...

I think you have a slightly wrong impression of my view of the process of acceptance, although I didn’t actually go into at all so no wonder :) “Pushing away” is definitely not part of it and never w...

Absolutely ❤️when you tug on anything in the universe, everything else will follow. Working on shame about stuttering is directly connected to working on shame about anything else. And for me, resol...

I’m not talking about another version of me who doesn’t stutter nor wished about it. I’m talking about you comparing people who stutters to people who are blind, deaf or having a mentally retarded chi...

There is no version of you that exists without stuttering. That is the life experience we were meant for. Maybe another version of you somewhere has another experience. But you can’t wish for another...

Bro. Try being born as someone who can speak fluently. Their struggles when it comes to speaking are none and talking is just second nature. Yes we have disability and some people also struggle with ...

Good for you but I don’t think we should say that confidence is the main solution, as I still stutter and I’m confident. People still mock me and laugh at me. Like a large majority of stutterers have ...

Yes, exactly, learning to be patient and let the repetitions happen without spiraling into panic, forcing, embarrassment, etc. —the work of a lifetime! But ridiculously powerful and transformative. No...

You can think of it this way - the actual stutter is *just* repetitions, and everything else is a byproduct (blocks, ALL avoidances, anxiety, etc). the byproducts happen *because* you are trying to h...

Thanks for your comment, I was hoping to spark conversation but I think it’s too complex for the overall vibe of this sub. You point to the reason why I can’t honestly say I’m *completely* stutter-p...

Don't need normal therapy? what are you jibbering on about. Speech therapy is far better than the methods you propose. You sound like one of those terrible life coaches conning peoe to buy your cours...

It definitely would, but that's not reality. It is what it is, no point in imagining friend groups, lovers, opportunities for a you that doesn't exist. Could your stammering get better? Probably(depen...

Can stutter-negative and stutter- positive coexist?

Can stutter-negative and stutter- positive coexist? I would hope that they can. They are both entirely valid ways to experience stuttering. Internet stuttering spaces do tend to be heavily one or the ...

stuttering with a smile is a very good piece of advice, often when u stutter in school, my friends will tease me and shit, very normal if you look at it in hindsight. ill just laugh with them, becaus...

It’s not easy, but in the end you’re right. Our attitudes shape our lives. Most of the time when people respond negatively to our stuttering, it’s not the stuttering itself but the attitude of shame a...
