Any "don't"s for writing a stuttering character ?

Any "don't"s for writing a stuttering character ? Hi, I'm currently working on a character with a stutter, but I'm wondering if there are maybe cliches or misinformation that annoys or offends people...

I see where you’re coming from, and that’s totally understandable to be annoyed at. I probably would feel the same in your position, however, I am someone who isn’t very social or outgoing. I feel shy...

Haha I can relate to this, I feel like I'd be such a social butterfly with no stutter. But I think the nervousness people feel speaking infront of groups is how we feel talking in general so I can def...

Mine definitely is. I had a severely traumatic childhood that I did my best to suppress the effects of for a long time. When I finally started to talk about it my stammer just appeared one day. The ...

I had a very severe stutter, now my stuttering is much more situational. In terms of technique, when I was very severe I think it does help to work on breathing from the diaphragm and speaking at th...

Yup that's it, 100%. The only additional thing I'd say is that you'd also have to practice your new good habit (exaggerated at first and gradually returning to normal) 24/7, and stop using your old ba...

Thank you for expounding on your theory. I find it really fascinating and it seems to make sense. Simply put, it's the basic idea of replacing old bad habits with new good habits. The difference is...

Stuttering is very beneficial when it comes to dating.

Stuttering is very beneficial when it comes to dating. Stuttering is extremely beneficial when it comes to dating. Yes you heard that right.  (If you are not interested in dating psychology, this pos...

I've often thought about this, and speculate this method is similar to how all the famous actors we hear about being stutterer's are able to achieve a sense of fluency. The question I have is how doe...

Yeah it works. When I worked in retail security I could easily and confidently ask customers for receipts. At home lol I could barely say the word receipt to my mom. The hard part is retaining that wh...

Well over time you reduce the dramatism in your voice bit by bit, until your new fluent personality voice is rid of all the dramatism and sounds like your normal voice, and the (mostly) fluency has st...

I read all your words, just you know, keep fighting, after many years, I managed to don't give a f to anyone because as long as I do my job, I'm good , stop thinking what people think, u will see them...

It made me to push my self out of my comfort zone and it gave me some of the best friends. When you meet new people and show them your vulnerability (stuttering) from the first minute those who will l...

It is really liberating because you stop focus on hiding your stutter and you focus on the conversation. Most of the time people are really curious about my stutter and I end up inform them. So yeah I...

Thank you very much for sharing your story, it was really helpful. I found that the 80% of my stutter is that I base my self worth on it and I feel that others judge me about the Way I talk. The other...

I work as a Batista. Some days used to be a living hell and I was really terrified when someone asked me about the price of coffee. I didn't like that. I didn't like when I woke up the first thing t...

Dear Mr. Fear of stuttering

Dear Mr. Fear of stuttering Dear Mr. Fear of stuttering It’s been years since I have faced you, but I thought I would make this letter out to you.  You have really done a toll on not just me, but ev...

Update on my waitress interview

Update on my waitress interview Thank you to those who boosted my confidence to just let the manager know I stutter that if he’s going to make a huge deal about it and not see that I can still be comp...

I think pretending to be a "happy stutterer" and others should tolerate me for who I am (while I don't tolerate those people, who feel awkward and uncomfortable listening to a stutterer) is the new no...

My problems? I feel so sorry for you in a way that you are so obsessed on feeling as though fluency is far more impressive and what every stutterer "must" achieve instead of accepting that not everybo...
