Does anyone use Instagram?

Does anyone use Instagram? Reason I’m asking is because I follow a woman who is in her mid or late 20s and struggles with a stutter. She lives in the UK and is raising awareness on stuttering and how ...

What I want to focus on is that you treat them like you would any other person. At least for me I just can't stand that look of pity in the other person's eyes. It happens subconsciously but please tr...

Interesting. I know people that stutter openly but it does not seems that their stutter diminish. Somehow they are feeding their stuttering on their attempt to accept it. The vicious circle you are t...

Glad it works for you in a way, but I don't drink - never have, never will - and refuse to randomly self-medicate. Even though I'm 52, I still hope to one day find a way to get at the root cause of th...

Plenty. I am spitballing here as it comes to mind: \- Don't finish their sentences, unless during a crucial moment and they are hung up, and then finish their sentences. They will appreciate it. I wo...

Hey, I’m also a stutterer in college. I’ll be trying out your routine to see if it helps in any way. I also just wanted to give you a little tip—give yourself time to speak, even if others don’t. No m...

It's best to ask them about it, they know best what helps them, what they feel comfortable with, etc. Apart from this, just just interact with them like you would with a non-stutterer. You could watc...

Learning to play music is not the same as learning to accept something. That’s like saying you can learn to not stutter anymore. I’ve tried what you’re describing several times throughout my life and...

I'm 41. I learned of acceptance at 24. It's hard to answer your second question because it's still a work in progress, and I continue to learn things about myself. However, with other chaos going on...

Have hope that like it being severe right now, it can change. I’m a 78f who has experienced stages of better fluency. Also, take advantage of every possible treatment. Don’t overlook self-treatment as...

If you show people that you don’t care about when you stutter, then they won’t see it as something weird and it’ll be okay. I constantly travel, party and meet random people as I’m a social person, an...

It can surely take a very long time for acceptance and have the ability to stutter freely. Remember, a lot of us have ingrained behaviors due to stuttering for decades. It can take another decade, o...

Good for you. Never give up trying…maybe until you’re almost 80 as I am. I’m tired. Sometimes acceptance is helpful. My stutter is very mild. I just turned down a chance for an evaluation at our local...

You can’t simply choose to accept it though. You can try to induce a mindset but it’s only temporary and it doesn’t always work. True acceptance needs to come from within, in an organic and internaliz...

It’s very hard to not think about that. It can make you miserable, though. I love that you realize your stutter is making you someone you don’t hate. I think it has the power to give people the abilit...

If I have known you, I’d gladly be your friend regardless of your stutter. I’ll judge you on who you are not your speech impediment. I am also a person that stutters 28F. I am deeply sorry about your ...
