The best advice is: don't TRY to speak fluently. Then you don't feel bothered

The best advice is: don't TRY to speak fluently. Then you don't feel bothered If we feel pressured, we trigger our stutter. So we feel 'bothered' by our stutter. Thoughts on itself don't cause 'feelin...

How did you try 'to detach because' to detangle 'deciding to paralyze mouth'?

How did you try 'to detach because' to detangle 'deciding to paralyze mouth'? I am at a stage where I realize I add 'because' to two thoughts. One of them is: 'deciding to paralyze mouth'. Could you ...

A method that helps me a little. I’ll try and be brief but will probably fail. Just today, I’ve been testing a method I came up with that I feel has actually helped me with my stutter a notable amou...

I'd hate to try and hide my stutter on a date and while also trying to be myself. That doesn't really mix. Also I think it's harder to be confident when you're trying to hide a part of yourself you're...

Good on you for taking a stand. She sounds like a miserable person. No one has the right to make you feel bad about stuttering. Maybe next time this happens you'll tell the person off right then and t...

That's interesting. It could definitely work for some people. I guess it would depend on how open a person's mind is to surrendering to another person so they can crack the mind open. I have great res...

I think if I make a joke and others laugh that’s fine! But when he actively says “I feel bad but I make fun of him for his stutter” that makes me feel like he won’t accept me for me and so I have to h...
