I’m sorry, from one stutterer to another, I know it’s not easy…but sitting down and having a pity party is never the answer. I’m proud that you are looking for answers and trying to get better. I ca...
Shake it off. You can only control your reaction not the other folks reaction. Stuttering is just how we talk, accept it and move on. Most people won't even remember the stutter after the moment, but ...
Im not convinced. You assumed that people with stutters didn't want to do the "hard work", this implies laziness. You also assumed that people wanted to "keep their stutter" because they don't want to...
I know this sound cheesy but fuck what people think. Just keep talking and if they don’t want to listen, you’re not worth their time. I have spent most of my life in fear of speaking but I got happier...
That’s a good question. I’m actually not sure how I developed social anxiety to be honest. I just find that when I am socially comfortable, I usually (albeit not always completely) speak fluently. O...
Fluency is a goal every stutterer would like to achieve, but in some cases, you first have to accept the fact that you stutter and become comfortable with your stuttering. In most cases I believe stut...
God did not give you stutter. You gave yourself stutter because you let that happen. That's the hard truth. The good thing is that you can do something about it by hacking your brain. Read up and neur...
The time I "stopped" stuttering because a ball hit my jaw
The time I "stopped" stuttering because a ball hit my jaw I've had a stutter since I can remember, although my parents say I developed it when I was a 5-6 yo. It's not very extreme, but it's still bad...
That's now how it works. Lots of people express developmental stuttering in their teens. I know some who only started stuttering at 18, 19 years old. You didn't do anything to create this and thus, th...
Been there and actually done that. When I was a teen I was very ashamed (I still am ashamed, but much less now). I hated myself. I was mostly ashamed for what I felt was “less than” or “less intellige...
I appreciate this comment so much. I guess I never really thought about it being perception of self and being in my comfort zone. I was thinking about my comfort zone a lot, I was asking myself if tha...
I’ve had a stutter my entire life, it’s gotten worse when I feel my confidence is low. The key to social confidence with a stutter is putting yourself in situations that push you out of your comfort z...
Yes. The quote at the start about Einstein saying as humans we tend to complicate simple processes is very interesting too...
Thank you, we care way to much about our speech but I know Its frustrating and very difficult I think to ever overcome anything Is to heal within Instead out....
Ironically everything you say are actions that you do to avoid stuttering. Stuttering is not what got you into this situation, but the fact that you are avoiding it. I know stuttering can suck. But it...
This is deeply familiar. For me what helped the most *by far* was talk therapy. I’ll always stutter but the thing I have control over is how I feel about it. It took a long time, but the shame is f...
Do not let your stutter dictate the direction of your life....
I agree with this and what OP tried to convey is true, but when you're on the other side, sometimes you need to discover those kind of enlightments on your own terms. Its a fine line and it's tough....
