I worked with Daniel Boyle a few years ago and he was great! It did help me with my stutter and overall confidence. I still stutter a bit, but I don’t care anymore ...

Deciding to not improve your speech isn't an admirable story. People want to hear success stories, not acceptance stories. You can accept your stutter AND improve your speech and the same time. Throwi...

Bloodstain noticed that any novelty in speech production alleviates stuttering. So your case is perhaps different. May I ask you a question: is there anything that makes your speech more fluent? If...

Same. 30+ now. I have so many real world problems now, a couple stuttered sentences here and there don't bother me. If a teenager in the McDonald's window giggles at me struggling with my words, idgaf...

Aaaand just like that you discovered what eastern meditation philosophy, esp, the buddhists and hindus have been teaching for thousands of years. Its a fascinating topic which I've also started gettin...

This is very timely! Just today I listened to the latest Fr. Mike Schmitz video about stoicism. In it he talks about acceptance. Exactly what you described. https://youtu.be/vH5hDeVXsAU?si=-3ILj290cR...

Don’t feel badly. We do whatever we have to do. If that can allow you to more comfortably express yourself it’s the right thing to. Another stutterer....

Maybe it comes with age, but I'm mid-30s now and in the past few years I've just generally stopped giving a crap. About how people perceive me. If people chuckle when I mangle my order. What people sa...

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...

I think that the professionally held belief that stammering can't be cured is probably correct. However, some techniques can give a level of control that has several outcomes. 1. The level of control ...

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...

Yes, that is a prolongation stutter. It would be worth getting her into speech therapy to help her manage the stutter. There is no cure for it, however they can teach her some methods to perhaps reduc...

I'm proud of you man for putting yourself out there even with a stutter. Keep up the great work, you'll find someone eventually ...

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 disagree it's ok to stutter. You do not want to stutter in the real world. I don't like this new trend of accepting that it is "cool" or "ok" to stutter. And if you're male especially, trust you do ...

Confidence- it's very easy to say but so difficult to actually do. I spent 7 years working in a different country and my confidence soared. As a result, my stutter almost completely disappeared. I mov...

I understand what you’re saying, but saying that “great people overcome adversity” does kind of imply that those who can’t or choose not to are the opposite. When people stop treating me in a way th...

There are still many great people who stutter who have overcome adversity from stuttering AND openly stutter, and i think that's OP's point. And to continue that point, unfortunately we don't see that...

No one was calling you weak. You're setting up some false dichotomies here. Because I advocate for fluency, doesn't mean it's the only narrative out there. I never said I was against acceptance. Jus...
