Thank you for taking the time to write this. I specifically like # 2 a lot, reframing your outcome or what we consider success or failure. Im learning that all though blocking in front of strangers c...

I'd probably wager that me including the fact that I stutter on my online dating profile is probably why it's filled with the sound of crickets. On a more serious note, I definitely put that on my pr...

Respect for approaching some strangers, that is still something I cannot bring myself to do. That is worthy of celebration. Its unfortunate it didn't work out as you would have liked, but thats how th...

They also only ever just show people stuttering, not trying to deal with it. For example, there's no stuttering on the word "chair" for a second, and then changing to the word "seat". Which is a trick...

Ok to be fair everyone is different and different therapies can help different people. with that caveat out of the way, there are therapists who want to be progressive and tell you stuttering is ok (w...

I thought I was entirely cured once. Just out of the stutter state of mind entirely for over a day. But then when it came back it was that much more devastating but remember these days and ignore th...

I used to pronounce my hard K sounds like a T sound, I went to speech therapy at school and also dealt with the same issues with the “intellectual disability “ thing in early grade school. I eventua...

When I say you can learn to control it, I'm not saying it'll go away. In fact, my post specifically said it'll never go away. When I'm talking about control, I mean you can communicate and participate...

I blew it it last night with a woman

I blew it it last night with a woman Hello my fellow stutterers, just a quick thought jot-down here. I was out last night and some russian girls called me over saying i was cute. As soon as I started ...

Yeah I can relate to this. I can’t put it just on my stutter, it’s probably mainly the personality I developed as a result. I know I have odd quirks. I just didn’t think they were that big of a deal....

Feel so fucking great!

Feel so fucking great! Just finished a job interview. I stuttered but I owned it. Don't care if I get the job or not as I feel fucking happy facing my fears. Facing your fears does wonders. We are mor...

Sometimes I really hate the way I speak.

Sometimes I really hate the way I speak. I don't mean the stuttering, I mean having to resort to short to-the-point sentences instead of beautiful, elegant, phrases. I mean pretending I forgot basi...

Totally empathize - so much of the time we’re muzzled by our stutter...

I’m the same way. I’m witty and often I can’t express that. Luckily I have friends that know I’m quite witty but I’d be able to be so much more myself without this damn stutter lol. What’s helped me t...

My sense of humor takes big blows

My sense of humor takes big blows I’m naturally a quick-witted and sarcastic person and I love to argue and joke around. My stutter obstructs around 70% of my sense of humor and charisma, and it’s ext...

Agreed. Most of the time we are our own problem. You hit it right on the head of the nail mate....

No, your stutter doesn't ruin anything. Read your post again. >Feels like every time i try to tell him a joke or a story ***my brain tells me*** You're ruining your own moment. Have some faith ...

This is terrible advice. These are all very well known, well documented avoidance techniques that ultimately do more harm than good. What happens when you sing the first few sounds of a sentence and s...

Stand up comedy

Stand up comedy I wanted to test myself so I decided to write several jokes about my stuttering into jokes to tell. To my surprise my stutter completely went away on stage so most of my jokes I had to...

Not rude at all! Yes, I committed to speech therapy since the start of the year and my therapist felt happy to hear that I'm beginning to find new confidence. I owe it all thanks to him that he told m...
