Yeah, it seems like they are very contradictory. But I just want to not worry about it so much. I know I’ll always do it and all these “cures” are BS, but I find myself getting so caught up in waiting...

Thank you for your response and kind words. I've isolated myself from everyone and don't want to be a burden. Or I tend to suppress to those who were in my life. I don't want to drop my baggage on to ...

Hosnestly this is exactly how i kinda feel and used to feel. People are always trying to get you to "spit it out" or to finish your sentences like chilll but that aside you got this bro i mean it, you...

We've all felt this and in reality it does suck, but there are ways that you can make it better. The envy of seeing other people talk effortlessly did used to hurt, but man what can you do! Nothing, s...

I've gone through that. Every waking moment thinking of stuttering or avoiding people so I won't have an opportunity to stutter. Unfortunately the answer is as you said, stop thinking about it and sto...

I’m an SLP student and what I do know is that a big part of it is how you view your stuttering. Do you embrace it or ashamed of it? Avoiding it creates heightened anxiety which often leads to more stu...

I guess that was my question about YouTube. I was actually overwhelmed by how much content there was and didn’t know where to begin....

Quick and "fun" little rant about my stutter

Quick and "fun" little rant about my stutter So I've had this stutter for my whole life, no freak accident gave me it or anything (idk if that's how they work). I've just had it my whole life, along w...

Out of curiosity, what’s your native language? I think it’s probably more common with some languages than others, just because of sounds and how words are constructed. I barely stuttered when I was le...

The best thing you can do is to treat this as a learning experience, sort of like a stepping stone where you're building and improving your speech based on good and bad experiences. Here are the thin...

Your approach to the situation is admirable. For what it's worth; I think you are doing all the right things. I'm now 42 and I've been through it all growing up. Bullying, anxiety of speaking in fro...

Wow. People truly don't understand the amount of emotional baggage that comes along with stuttering. I was on the opposite side of the spectrum (I was more outgoing and was bullied because of it), but...

Hello :) I am 31 years old, but that little girl was once me. I am still outgoing, spunky, social, speak my mind— most of friends describe me as life of the party. My stutter has definitely held me ba...

A practical piece of advice that really allowed me to lose the fear of stuttering and enables me to express myself naturally without the constant agony of negative anticipatory thoughts, is as follows...

Hi u/Ok_Music7549 \- Thanks for your post. I'm sorry for the difficulty that you've been experiencing. This has indeed been a tough time for many. (Seth will comment more on that aspect.) One of the ...

My story is quite similar. My stutter peaked in severity around that age too (I’m now 35). There are probably a thousand different opinions on this topic — “the way out.” I can only speak for myself....

I never had luck with therapy until we stopped working on fluency and started working towards being an effective communicator. Fluency is never going to be an attainable goal for me but I can be decen...

I’m not sure what is technically correct, but I don’t use “stutter” as a noun ever. I only use it as a verb. I tell people that I stutter. Not that I have a stutter. If using the word as a noun is act...

Hi... I reckon that it is actually a lot more *frustrating* for you to actually "**express**" yourself as a stutterer, **especially** while you're wearing a mask, bc people don't ***see*** your mout...

As wrong as it feel man, if you hide, I guarantee you'll have more regrets than if you don't. There's 2 different voices you can listen to. 1 being the voice of your stutter and your insecurities sa...
