And your shame is probably making your stuttering a lot more. Do you feel shame about taking a shit? No you don’t. It’s a lot nastier than stuttering but everybody does it. You just need a reframing o...

You really went out and did 75-100 contacts with strangers? Exaggerated stuttering on purpose? And used your most feared word 75-100 times? And humiliation is an internal feeling. Nobody feels humil...

I feel you. I honestly have not met anyone that truly has felt and feels what we go through most days, weeks, years. It sucks. Hang in there. I bet it made you hard as a rock (blessing/curse). If...

This is accurate. I have mild OCD where once I stutter on something I didn’t before, ill start obsessing with it and then I’ll start doing the compulsion of saying that word out loud (or sometimes in...

There is no redefining a life time of endless humiliation. The worst is all the grifters promoting fake cures. Nothing no works. No one knows why it happens. No one knows how to fix it. No one gives a...

This is a story of my life. I can’t even talk in normal conversations, much less flirting, and trying to woo someone. That’s just asking to be humiliated....

Growing up I always thought I would be alone. I had what I called the Unholy Trinity: overweight, pimple faced and a stutterer. It was terrible. Kids suck and some of those kids grow up and become a...

The thing with stuttering is, most of the suffering is imagined in the stutterers mind than world could inflict on you. You remember every little humiliation, mockery, missed opportunities. People mig...

I get it. Shameful events from years, even decades, ago still pop up randomly in my head. It’s awful. When I was a kid, it was a daily thing. Now I’m an adult in control of what I do (mostly), so I do...

I'm 35 years old (female) and have never had a relationship mostly because of my severe stutter. I was bullied hard because of my stutter and I simply cannot trust people to not laugh at me 🤷‍♀️ I ha...

I agree that it can be traumatising to put yourself in super difficult situations. Some say you shouldn't avoid situations or use tricks, but repeatedly banging your head against the wall doesn't help...

I feel the same way. I’m the type of person who feels intense shame for days on end and I just can’t let it go so I understand. Thank you for the encouragement:)...

My nightmare is being alone and never getting married and having a family. This is honestly the biggest reason I am working so hard on my stutter, not only the embarrassment and inconvenience. Hearing...

Drive thru’s will be the death of me. I learned a long time ago that they need to be avoided. For me, I believe it’s always best to NOT put myself in situations of excruciating pain that create everl...

Pushed myself to order something out of my comfort zone in the drive through and failed miserably

Pushed myself to order something out of my comfort zone in the drive through and failed miserably i had a fine day at work talking to people without a single issue and my mom asked me to go to kfc to ...

To me it’s mean not feeling any negative emotions when you stutter. Accepting that is how you talk and not feeling ashamed about it. Also not being afraid to talk just cause you know you will most lik...

I had a really hard time with this for a long-ass time, and still do have lots of moments. It made it a lot easier when I thought about those times in elemtary/middle/high school and being insecure an...

It's such a simple concept... But I still can't get over it and master it. I guess it's because of my experiences along high school and such that insecurity took root in my heart, and it's so damn har...

What does exactly "accept your stutter" mean?

What does exactly "accept your stutter" mean? Let me explain myself: When we talk, we need to push in order for the words to come out. We need to make an effort to talk, right? So, when we talk, we ar...

I've tried this so bad. Soo bad. I can do it when I'm alone. I can visualize myself in a conversation with another person just flowing and if I stutter, then I stutter. If I feel tension, then I feel ...
