Well written and thanks for sharing. The one thing I’ve realized is that my stutter is likely NOT going anywhere. After that realization, I have options: 1. Kill myself, 2. Live depressed bc of endle...
None of these for me ...... have tried all kinds of speech techniques (quite diligently) for 40 years of my life... nothing stuck, nothing worked more than few days or few weeks. Only thing that def...
Not trying to rail road your poll but I'd say none of those. The thing that's increased my fluency the most is to not try to fix it. General anxiety reduction helps the most. The less attention I giv...

I was an introvert until I became a cop/paramedic. Now I can’t shut up. Confidence is key, don’t let others define you. Punch that fear sh*t in the throat and be yourself....
Recommend putting yourself out there more and accepting that you’re gonna stutter in front of others. I work as a waitress and it was really bad at first but got better as I’ve done it more. Now whene...
Try to be positive and keep working with your speech therapy. It really worked for me and I work in a job where I have to speak in meetings and cold call strangers. It gets better the more you get use...
You must work in the mental health field. Your advice is sound. Anything we do to improve ourselves is a step toward happiness. We do experience various stages in life, some more difficult than others...
A lot of the problem I believe you’re facing is actually that socializing for everyone is like a muscle. You not speaking is probably leading to atrophy of that muscle, metaphorically. It’s kinda what...
> why don't we stutter in it despite all the difficult situations or even if all people are looking at us? Because these words are easy. Yes and no. Yes, the words are easy but in my opinion, all...
