Finally someone calling out the Toxic positivity. They think it's *technically* the correct moral things to say to anyone no matter the context. I agree with you ....

Small Victory

Small Victory Usually when I get gasoline. I have to say something short like "30 dollars on number 3" and stutter a lot. Always resort to "uhh, uhmmm" with all the eye movements away from the cashier...

Does no one notice our stutter?

Does no one notice our stutter? I've been working in a call centre for maybe 6 months now. It's no secret I stutter, it's not bad and it's inconsistent but it's obvious I stutter. I spoke to a colle...

I just feel like I have to. I don’t want to hide my stutter if the relationship progresses. If I do that, then I feel like I’m hiding who I am....

I don’t necessarily agree with that. Maybe that’s true for some, but for me, if I’m not afraid to stutter in front of someone, and I don’t feel inhibited around them, I don’t stutter. So if that same ...

You sound a lot like my husband. He’s a good guy and his love language is definitely serving other people. But it can also be really nice to be around someone without the pressure of having to keep ...

I think gaining confidence definitely helps with stuttering, but vulnerability is the trait that ultimately relaxes us and loosens us up. So pair confidence and vulnerability together. Otherwise, you ...

Something I found incredibly helpful was to stop hiding it. Whenever I speak to people I don't know and the inevitable block comes, I usually stop, force myself to smile (it helps) and say something a...

The thing is having a stutter you have to learn to be firm more than anybody else in order for people to take you seriously. When you were with your friend and you agreed and didn't want to cause conf...

I’m both in speech therapy as of now and go to a few local support groups that meets monthly virtually. Speech therapy and the support group allowed me to be vulnerable and my authentic self while not...

Have a job interview tomorrow, wish me luck.

Have a job interview tomorrow, wish me luck. Have an interview tomorrow for a job in my dream career field. Been around this block before, feel reasonably confident with the kinds of questions I'll be...

I promise promise that you haven’t. Any woman who finds you boring for your lack of speedy delivery is not truly interested in *you*....

I think it has to do with not being authentic. When we try to hide our stutter, we become more close off and boring....

I should probably write a book on this. I'll try to summarise. I'm very introspective, and realised that I would stammer when part of me wanted to speak and part of me didn't, which created some inne...

MENTAL: Resolve inner conflicts. Speak from the heart. Overcome trauma, depression, anxiety. Mindfulness. Stress resilience. Avoid unnecessary stress. Self-respect. Acceptance. Care less about other p...

Well phrased. I don’t get it either. It’s also strange that according to the author, stuttering is a hinderance only because sOcIeTy makes is that way. I have a hunch that the big majority of stuttere...

Precisely as I thought. Now think about a time when you were fluent? Notice the qualities of that movie in your head? Is it bright? Is it colorful? What are you focused on? Is it warm? Is it soft?...

Look out for my posts. I recently posted to the community. Feel free to answer the questions I've laid out. I'll be posting more about the methods I've learnt in order to gain control over my stutter ...
