That’s great that the medication has been working! Though I agree with sunnydlite. I can’t say because I’ve never taken meds but stuttering is composed of a lot of emotions that need to be processed f...

I always hate doing it. It just feels like total failure. I get it, I know people mean well, I know it does make it easier. But damn does it drive the point home....

Anyone else feel like you can’t express yourself at all because of your stutter?

Anyone else feel like you can’t express yourself at all because of your stutter? I can’t say any long sentences without stuttering unless I’ve practiced for a while. That means that whenever I’m with ...

Life is not about participation trophies. You need to toughen up a bit. You didn't stutter. It's not something to be celebrated. It just is. Go on with the day. You're out having a great day with her...

Thank you for sharing the book link; I’ll have to check it out. Confidence is always something I’ve wondered if it relates to stuttering. For example, when I’m talking out loud to myself I never stutt...

There's so much I want to say. But I feel trapped.

There's so much I want to say. But I feel trapped. There's so much I want to say. But I feel trapped. I rehearse what I want to say, but I know all too well that it's futile. The moment comes to ...

Being monotone is independent of stuttering. I did sound robotic in the video but in everyday speaking situations I don't sound that robotic. Thanks for commenting...

I do not aspire to sound like that. Monotone, no inflection in your voice. I’d rather stutter and show personality than talking drab, boring, and fast....

Apparently Reddit's formatting gets messed up when I copy and paste something I typed from Word. But yeah my point is the functionality behind computer hardware isn't able to get altered by anything...

How do I stop being embarrassed by my stutter?

How do I stop being embarrassed by my stutter? So for the most part I’m developing pretty good confidence. I’m 17M, I think I look good, I actually asked for a girls number which I never done before s...

You'll make it through. I'm going through a phase of not being able to start words that start with L. What I've been trying to do to help my anxiety and calm me is I keep telling myself to be unapolog...

I want to accept stutter as a part of me

I want to accept stutter as a part of me Hi, please do read if you have time. <3 I've been stuttering since I was a kid. It held me back a lot of times. When I know the answer on my teacher's que...

The thing that really weirds me out is that I don't stutter when I'm alone and no one can hear me, but as soon as I start talking in a way that someone else can hear, I start stuttering. I was doing...

My stutter is a bit worse around my parents, my mom worse than my dad. It never used to be like that though. After my parents split up when I was like 20, I still lived with my dad. I've always had re...

I do the same. My father also came with his share of trauma. I don't think I stutter because of the trauma he caused me. I can see how he was also traumatized in his life, and unconsciously passes his...

Stuttering is not a problem of speech because it is not speaking that makes us stutter.

Stuttering is not a problem of speech because it is not speaking that makes us stutter. Disclaimer: This is probably not relevant to those who stutter after brain damage. I know when I'm going to stu...

Ah man, what a long answer I could write. I find that (among many other factors) my stutter is quite proportional to my level of comfort around a person. For example, I stutter the most when speaking ...

I used to do that too. Given my fear of stuttering, I thought if we texted more, they could first get to know me so even if I stuttered, chances would be they'd be more eager to look past it. It's a ...

I agree with everything you said. Except for the thing about "something about communication triggers stuttering". Stuttering depends on if you feel safe to express yourself authentically. Meaning de...

Last time I saw her I only remember really getting locked on my worlds once. The other times were so mild. The other people I work with I constantly stutter around. But her I don’t. It’s legit like I’...
