I relate to this so much. Ever since my stutter appeared, people have labeled me as "shy", "introverted" or "awkward"; hell, I even did so myself. But with the years I've come to the conclusion that I...

You’ll get to where you want one day and all of the avoidance will only reinforce the defence mechanism so try to expose yourself to make eye contact with people. Start off with doing it with yourself...

Depends on the situation I think. For myself, around family and friends, I just be myself and stutter openly but at work because a lot of my work depends on good communication (doctor), I tend to slow...

I felt this way. I even went to an intensive therapy program where I adjusted the way I spoke to try and control my stuttering. It worked at the time but even when it was working, I just didn't feel l...

same, I'd rather be me than a slightly more fluent false version. that being said, my speech in high school was a nightmare. with age confidence and a crap ton of work on acceptance I'm a decent com...

I prefer to stutter openly rather than changing my natural speaking (rate, inflection, etc). Not going to pretend I am something I not....

I don't stutter when I read off something

I don't stutter when I read off something I have really bad blocks whenever I'm asked to say my name, but if I write my name on something for example my phone and then show the person the word whilst ...

Ok would you rather keep on stuttering and embarrass yourself than going around a word to sound fluent? I don’t use the crutches that go around the word. I use the crutches that give my voice a meani...

I've been filming a lot of content stuttering severely on purpose to strangers. I do this to show everyone that it's okay to stutter and you will not die. If you can get to a spot mentally where y...

That’s some good advice. I used to try and hide it but it comes out eventually. Maybe I just need to allow myself to stutter and learn to embrace it as an aspect of myself that I can’t control. Thanks...

Actually for me the whole key to ‘overcome’ the stutter or actually really improve on it is acceptance of it and don’t see it as something bad anymore. The more you see it as something bad you try to ...

Personally it doesn't bother me at all, but there is a line with jokes before I start to get angry with people. As far as your examples, I think it's fine because there's a difference between simply t...

Please please please don’t separate yourself from who you are. It won’t go away. This is probably a fact. If you’re in university, I hate to say it, it’s yours now, you’ve gotta get used to it. You d...

When I realised making fun of someone’s stutter was a great show of character. It became easier to tell who was a good person or not. And I’ve been fortunate enough to have convinced every adult/pare...

I think she noticed it it as soon as we met but she never really said anything about it. And now she says that she never really notices that I stutter unless I point it out which makes me feel good ab...

I believe that when a child first begins to stutter, it is a different type of stuttering than adult stuttering. I believe a child may stutter due to being sensitive to their own emotions. Not sure, ...

Yes I relate so much to this. I do this as well and it makes them feel uncomfortable more so than me and helps a lot with fluency( I know this may sound a bit mean,using their discomfort to help mysel...

Please do not give up. I've had my stutter since age 5. These are my accomplishments: 1. Was talked out of suicide 2. High school graduate 3. Joined US Air Force - Honorable Discharge 4. Att...

I’ve been reading some literature on stuttering. One of the main theme I’m noticing is how we should stop to try and hide it. It even says to stutter on purpose. Overall the idea is to detach yoursel...

You are a person who stutters. Striving for fluency is denying and fighting against yourself. It's the messaging that you're not ok, that you need to be fixed. You can't fix who you are but more impor...
