Half of folks here have improved their stuttering to certain degree and looking to share their learnings. Third of folks here are looking for help because they're lost, and the remaining just want to ...
I used to be like you. It doesn’t do you any good to pretend that you don’t stutter by avoiding talking about it. Everyone already knows and there’s absolutely no shame in talking about it. When you a...
The thing is - they probably don't even know that I stutter, and that it's a disorder which I cannot control. They probably think that I'm just a dumbass weirdo, who just never learned to talk. And ...
I’m an appliance technician. I do service calls and fix and re sell washers/dryers on the side. In high school I was a big science and math nerd and didn’t think I would be in the trades. But it’s goo...

I think I would be a very different person if I could speak normally. I would love to be able to socialize, to discuss things and give my opinions, to talk to girls, to be funny. I'm pretty much force...

I think you are redefining disfluency and adding this element of avoidance behavior. Last time i checked, most professionals characterize avoidance as a secondary behavior, NOT as one of the three ty...
Not exactly, but sometimes I wonder if I had the power to restart my life without stuttering, but keeping my personality, "myself", that I developed through the years. Still, I don't think it's suicid...
Communication is more than spoken words. Social interaction is more than spoken words. “Its over before it began” I disagree with that big time...
In my experience and many others, you will not be mocked or made fun of for stuttering while doing mundane tasks like ordering food or making a phone call. I’ve been at the airport all day and stutter...
Okay, then the answer should be at least sort of obvious. Don’t resist your stutter. Easier said than done. But become comfortable with stuttering, so you don’t got to resist. Resist is the same thing...
This is a loaded question that deserves more of a conversation than a post. It sounds like you may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or some similar therapy.. We have the stutterer's mindse...
I’m pretty sure you will find that almost everyone here who has developed a comfortable fluency has done so by using disclosing of some kind (voluntary stuttering, direct disclosing etc). My person...
