I'm also an extrovert gaslighting myself to be a introvert I can say many words fluently but this fear makes those easy words hard, I struggle at beginning once I'm comfortable I can use those words a...

You can do it!

You can do it! Message to everyone there: stuttering isn’t curable, but it is treatable to the point where it barely is a problem anymore. I’m a high schooler, and struggled with a severe stutter sin...

I was reading this post and it was like I was looking in the mirror. I too don’t audibly stutter. I have abrupt speech blocks that cause me to desperately find word substitutions on the fly. Sometimes...

First time posting ? Seriously I don’t know what I’m doing.

First time posting ? Seriously I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t really know what I’m trying to achieve here. But think I just need to vent ? Anyway I’ve stuttered my whole life, I think it’s deve...

You don't Need to Prove Yourself to Anyone.

You don't Need to Prove Yourself to Anyone. I've been thinking about this for a very long time and as a person who stutters, I feel like I'm in a good position to talk about this. Over the many many y...

Anytime man, ive been through it all, as i got older tho i found if im talking to someone normally somewhat ill let them know i have a speech impediment and it kinda helps keep it away at times cause ...

Ugh I hate my phases in which I stutter more than usual. It is a little discouraging 😭 like even my word switching trick doesn't work 😭...

My speech has been beyond atrocious the past few weeks. I’ve been reminding myself to “use my tools” more than ever, but, at times I just give up....

Need to vent

Need to vent Has anybody had speech blocks when talking so bad that you decide I’m just not talking today. Over the past few days I’ve had such bad stuttering that I don’t even want to talk. I use um...

I second this, I always try and contribute during lectures and honestly I strive to never let my stutter stop me from contributing. Sometimes when I get stuck on certain words, I’ll use a similar word...

\> But in the end, no one enjoys talking to a person who stutters. Mate this is just not true at all. I stutter in every sentence. Maybe the first conversations someone is a little uncomfortable, but...

Thank you so much. I just feel like it would be super embarrassing to tell them right before we slow dance, hey I stutter btw. I might as well let them find out by themselves. Everyone is so judgmenta...

Take small steps. You don’t have to raise your hand for every question initially but build up to it. Make a goal or speaking challenge that you’ll speak up 1x a week or 1x a day. Then build it up to 2...

Anxiety plays a huge part in it. I rarely stutter with friends or family who are already aware of my stutter. Building your confidence helps alot, i found that letting someone know beforehand makes it...

I tried a kind of goofy 'yello' but it doesn't really fit my current lexicon. Or you can try just announcing yourself - *answer* "this is LowRes - can I help you?"...

Almost everyone who talks has repetitions at least sometimes. Lots of people have frequent repetitions that are minimally impactful, bc they are able to move to the next sound easily. Fewer people g...

If what you say about society is true why does it not bear fruit for all stutterers?  The claim from OP is that society judges based on their fluency and favors articulate communication, where is the ...

I remember finishing high school hiding my stutter. I only spoke when I knew I was in a phase of reasonable fluency, and here's something that goes against what everyone is saying in the comments: I w...

You know maybe one day they invent a chip that can be installed near the brain and it distracts us or smoothens the connection while speaking so the fear of stutter and stuttering itself goes away...

I think you might not have a really good eye and ear for it. I stutter and recognize someone who stutters probably once per month. You have to watch for secondary behaviors such as switching words qui...
