I don't know how to react after this experience (Half rant, half advice) I (26 m) have mild stuttering (which can easily go up to moderate in certain settings). Today I was feeling quite happy and c...

First post here, asking for tips Hi all, im a long time lurker and I need some tips. My stutter is not that bad at all to be honest, most of the time I dont stutter and when I tell people that im actu...

stuttering takes all my energy

stuttering takes all my energy Do you guys familiar with the feeling of constant fatigue? No matter how well you slept, how well you eat, etc.? Just a few minutes of talking with a severe stutter on p...

OK, looks like we are both adult people who stutter. You, as an adult, maybe no longer have fear of speaking. I don't either anymore, but when I was a teen, I had the fear of speaking because I stut...

As a fellow long time stutterer, I am not of agreement with any of that. Fear is not holding me back. Stuttering, on the other hand, is. It is ill advised and detrimental to health to suggest to a "...

Same... One day, when you feel motivated, you can try ordering diet coke:) Of course you don't have to do it, but small successes make happy...

Awesome :) I always order Coke Zero, rather than Diet Coke, cuz I block on 'Diet'....

I haven't met or heard of anyone else in my life who stutters and I also struggle a lot with social anxiety. My worst stutter/block was around 40 seconds, I believe – it felt like several hours. All b...

I once asked for a coconut late and got a cold coconut late. You figure out why. Well done, I personally find ordering coffee stressful af, LATTE seems an almost impossible word...

I used to think that but it's actually usually the opposite. Most of us (at least in the beginning) will try to avoid conversations and speaking in order to "hide" our stutter. That makes you appear m...

I feel like one of the biggest issues is that people perceive you as scared/not confident, even when you are confident. Your inability to speak your mind and express your thoughts makes it hard someti...

USA here. I’m probably in the minority but in grade school my classmates were very supportive - probably because we grew up together from a very young age. Going to high school was different as I ...

Yes I agree with this, sometimes I have to build up a confidence meter for me to achieve 80-100% fluency. As a pharmacist, if I speak well for the majority of interactions in the morning, I feel way m...

Hey. PWS hide their stutter very well. Speacilly one´s that has a mild type of stuttering. Like myself. I use a lot of avoidance behaviour so people don´t know I stutter. When I tell some people that...

Many hide, many are covert, and some are mild. If you want to find others who stutter (and you should, because it will help), you have to look for them. Many ways to do this, such as the National Stut...
