The problem I think with this method is that it would take a lot of confidence in itself to tell people you will only speak when you don’t stutter. A person with the level of confidence to do this may...

Yeah, no. This won't work for a majority of people, especially those in a work place where smiling and gesturing without words will come across as highly unprofessional and rude....

As someone who is both a stutterer and a therapist, this would actually be the opposite of what I would recommend. You're describing a common avoidance behavior. The problem with stuttering is you can...

While this may have worked for you, I think it is more important to say what you want to say, regardless of fluency. Also, as someone else said, most PWS don’t feel confident when speaking. If I used ...

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share this method. However, I am not sure if it is realistic. Here's why: 1. When I am, for example, at work, I am required to speak, regardless of how confident ...

I had a situation earlier this year at work... Been at the job since last year. I'm fluent. Had my stuttering under control for years and years. i.e. No one at works knows that I have a stutter. One...

I’m a 22 year old guy named Sam as well! I think what’s helped me the most with being fluent is talking slower and looking at people versus what I would usually do is look down at the floor during a b...

I feel the fact I couldn't talk much has enhanced my creative ability, especially in writing. Am also able to perceive much things around me, constantly listening and my mind constantly working up a w...

Check out the book called Stuttering is Cool: A guide to stuttering in a fast talking world (a Google search will find it). It addresses shame among other things....

It depends on the situation. Are they ignorant of your speech impediment? Do they not understand? Are they being mean? If you're unsure, give them the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, assume con...

In my many years of experience, they have *no idea* I’m struggling to talk because of an actual issue/disability. When they fund out, they are horrified. I’ve learned how to bypass this situation...

I agree, sometimes it’s embarrassing especially on the stammer part. But people are very understanding it’s not like we can help it. People might actually be more willing to help them out if they stat...

Definitely don’t drop the class. What’s worked for me when my stuttering has been particularly bad is to just let the teacher or anyone listening know that you have a speech impediment and to please...

Not sure, if it counts, but stuttering has made me a more articulated communicator, as I have to speak very few words....

Always glad to hear that a person's speech has improved. The important part is to be able to speak and express ourselves without worrying about our stutter. Once this happens our lives will be much e...

What should I do?

What should I do? This is my first year in community college and I have majority of college classes online but only have one in person at 10AM and the teacher expects us to be sociable and always want...

I didn't stutter when I had my Bar Mitzvah, probably because although I knew how to read Hebrew, I didn't understand what I was reading. So no judgment....

If I were you, I would file a complaint about that doctor. It's absolutely horrible that he did that. My 14 year old son has a severe stutter. He started seeing a psychiatrist when he was about 10 ...

If you have a particular type of stutter where you might have involuntary extraordinary movements around your mouth and jaw area (related to stuttering obvs) and especially if you're meeting the other...

I shove it down my throat. If I choke on it, then I just keep forcing it until it goes down. The discomfort is nothing compared to the shame and embarrassment of stuttering....
