You suggest to believe that the words you want to say are meaningful. Positive effect: you stop compulsion Negative effect: you don't become resilient against the 20+ triggers that lead up to an ant...

I actually didn't know this, as someone who stutters, I usually do the opposite. I don't think much when talking otherwise the more I think about what I'm going to say the more likely I will stutter, ...

I like that party guy. As a stutterer, I’ve definitely learned to use my words wisely. I don’t waste my breath flippantly. Thanks for the story...

I agree we aren’t educated enough. But then again, is there good education on the topic? It’s mostly opinions and theories from small studies. From when I was 5 till I was 15, I was told many differen...

You made bold moves even with your anxiety and that's good. I used to have anxiety and I know how it isn't all about pushing yourself sometimes and it's an auto-response, that's all fine. I want you t...

I completely agree with confidence being a huge factor. But i think you have to think about it differently. I have 0 compultion to stutter when I convince myself that the words I want to say are meani...

I don't know if it's directly related or just a coincidence, but i was never hired by any of the companies i disclosed my stuttering to. One interviewer actually asked me if "it affected my work". It ...

Has anyone done the McGuire Institute for Stammering/Stuttering? I did it about 7 years ago. It changed my life. They have you do this as a challenge by calling restaurants or hotels and just asking ...

So I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You ca...

I too have ran out on many situations. It’s been a source of shame in my life. To me, however, there are no rules or things that must be done or ways we should act. Everything is made up by humans. ...

i'm actually in the same boat as u! i applied for a job at a local theme park where interacting with people is the "highlight" of the job, it does put me in an uncomfortable position but putting mysel...

Well done. Sounds like a confidence booster. Stammering can dictate the terms of our life path in the form of avoidances; sounds, words and more widely life opportunities and ambitions. It takes coura...

Yeah, it is so limiting to avoid almost all contact just because you stutter. I had some kind of therapy to accept it and to work on it, and now I often forget that I even have it, despite not talking...

"Tips to reduce stuttering - based of stutter researchers in the University of Alabama" 1. I no longer need to chase the “Fluency God.” 2. I can live without constant fear. 3. I can speak well wit...

That's true yes. But I mainly watched that specific video to get insight and I kind of got what I needed. Like getting the understanding that something is indeed holding me back and I wanted to share ...

I'm not sure if anyone has watched this already but I hope it helps you <3 I think the main issue (for me) which he talks about in this video is identifying what's holding us back. Because the onl...

I think it’s because you feel inhibited, so your brain manifested it physically. My guess is that you are a sensitive person that has a fixation on being the most civil person you can be. So the ide...

I don’t have this issue but have heard of it before. My friend who stutters says he physically cannot fart while other people are around. And I have similar issues such as when I’m spray painting, ...

I agree. Depending on the situation, sometimes disclosure can be awkward for me, but it does take a burden off my shoulders to try and mask my stutter....

What weird timing for you to post this!! I was walking home from the gym a few minutes ago and was proudly thinking to myself, “I don’t ever substitute words anymore.” I used to always substitute word...
