Not in university anymore but the friends I had generally were accepting of my stutter. I also always told professors about my stutter if I felt it was bad enough or if I had to present in front of cl...

Great point! I'm 23 now and my stutter has been getting a lot worse over the past several months due to being so worried about what others think about it. When I'm my most fluent is when I'm not overt...

I completely agree, sometimes you can quite literally will yourself into speaking fluently. Positive affirmations also help a ton, while reinforcing the idea that you can't be fluent just makes you di...

Wow this makes so much sense! I totally relate with being in the present moment because then we’re much more calmer. I use to stutter to the point that it would be hazardous to be around me while I ...

Nice one. My favourites are: The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job,...

"that I don’t care anymore." - I think you answered your question, and that's awesome. Continue going to gym, get fit, continue talking to people even if this happens 100x more times, it's part of fi...

I agree completely! The athlete shoots a ball with luck and stutterers stutter on luck from our perspective. If we stop try to speak fluently, then we won't focus on the negative thought and then we w...

>conveyed my message effortlessly Thank you! I never tried this thought "conveyed my message effortlessly" (instead of 'I speak fluently'). I always try 'I speak fluently' but I see that your posi...

In my opinion we can do the following: \- ask yourself: why do you doubt that you speak fluently? For example "because I cannot do it alone, I have the belief that I need more". Keep asking why: why ...

I agree. ​ You said: "It reinforced my belief that I can speak fluently and with ease." ​ In my opinion, if you are reading aloud, then your goal should not be "It reinforced...

It reinforced my belief that I can speak fluently and with ease. Talking to others is basically the same as talking to yourself, you just attach unnecessary stress to it, which causes stuttering/block...

what comes out comes out. Do you mean: "whatever comes out, I don't let it bother me because I don't care about the stutter"? I agree with you. How can I think less about 'trying to speak fluently'?...

Wonderful! We have to stop giving stuttering free rent in our heads!...

Always the same thing really, don't talk like an auctioneer. Know what you are going to say and calmly say it, and what comes out comes out. I know this doesn't work for everyone and it doesn't help m...

"What exactly would the debate be?" The debate would be about ideas regarding speaking fluently (permanently). If one has a suggestion for a certain 'idea' for example 'don't try to speak fluently' t...

I think he means, every time that you stutter, forget that you just stuttered because if you focus on the words you stuttered on then it will increase it, you start predicting stutters. Do you have ot...

Man that last line hit hard. I feel like I’m at the age where I’m a “man” and not a “boy”. Being insecure and scared for what I was given isn’t gonna help me any. If I act weird and scared because of ...

This right here! This is a major major major realization. It only happened to me recently and man has it opened up so many doors....
