I’m confident. I’ve ALWAYS been confident. My issue is that I never shut up and my stuttering is too evident. 78f who has stuttered from childhood....

Agreed! This might also explain why "acting in a different voice" improves fluency for some PWS but not for others—myself included. For someone like Emily Blunt, it’s possible that her sub-personaliti...

It explains why some PWS can act without stuttering. Because they assume different (sub?) personality when impersonate somebody. It is well known fact. Example: movie “Shakespeare in love”....

All my life I have felt dumb and stupid about myself because of my stutter. Just now am I trying to accept it. Because it’s obvious my stutter isn’t going to go away. I’m glad this is a new ‘trend’ ar...

"Confidence in speaking" yes it is true. How you are going to achieve it? It builds up when you do good in speaking and fades up it goes wrong. Even if there are 3 to 4 times when we speak fluently, b...

Welcome aboard! I started my "stuttering journey" in my early 20's; almost 20 years ago. You bring up a great point about listening to other's experiences. I thought I knew everything about stutterin...

(Warning I’m going to brag a lot) I wrestled for 18 years and have played/performed music for 15. I’ve competed and performed in front of thousands of people, sometimes tens of thousands. I took piano...

Stammering would not matter if we achieve confidence to speak.

Stammering would not matter if we achieve confidence to speak. Mostly stuttering does not occur when I am reading alone or talking to myself but immediately there are audiences then it creeps in. I be...

Having no self

Having no self This mentality... while I'm still nowhere near it, I'm trying everyday to achieve a glimpse of it. Just so you know that this idea that I'm about elaborate on is just my own and is not...

It teaches people that having a stutter means there’s something wrong with us. Society wants perfection and they cannot stand seeing people who are different....

I agree with you. Stuttering is 'deviant' behaviour. It's behaviour that deviates outside of the norm that is expected. And, furthermore, saying that we are accepting/comfortable with it is more devia...

A few celebrities who have made public statements about their stuttering never going away, but rather them learning not to let it stop them: Emily Blunt: “It’s nothing to be ashamed of to have a stu...

I completely agree with you. Growing up, I stuttered equally in all situations—it didn’t matter who I was speaking to. Even when I was alone, I still stuttered the same way. As I got older, I practice...

Nah I hard disagree. Alot of people here seem to have given up and try to cope with acceptance without ever hoping to actually cure their stutter. Not a fan. Maybe these celebrities diligently worked...

I resonate with you saying how you’ve been born with a stutter and how fustrating it was so I’m glad you went therapy and you mostly feel okay now. Thank you for commenting, much love ❤️...

I think I defined great people as those who overcome adversity. I'm sure there's plenty of other types of great people out there. Some celebrities are. Some celebrities are pieces of s***. I think E...

There are 2 types of pws, one that can speak more or less fluently when they're talking to themselves (or talking to their pet), and another who stutters regardless of the situation. For the former,...

You’re assuming that everyone stutters for the same reasons. Some stutters can be overcome but some can’t....

I agree. When I was much younger, I thought it was interesting and cool, but as I've gotten older (I'm 52 now), I realize that hearing about famous people like Jame Earl Jones or Marilyn Monroe suppos...

what's your definition of great people and are celebrities considered great people? My take is that celebrities have big egos, and it's a story that sounds good. The fact is that 85% of children gro...
