When I started my current job 4 years ago, my stutter got so much worse than it was previously. It was such a source of stress and negatively impacted my personal life as well. I didn’t know if I woul...

You’ve got this. I struggled with presenting for so, so long. This past year I had the opportunity to teach in college as a TA. The first session I ever had to teach was absolutely TERRIFYING. Id st...

I mean, both points just seem to make life harder on you, you know? I figure it's hard enough to begin with, so maybe just run with the stutter as is, and see if that makes things better. Definitely ...

Welcome! - Two things stand out to me: >I act like my stutter doesn’t annoy me with others, and play it off as nothing Don't do that. Don't "lie". It's unhealthy in the long run, I think. :) -...

Definitely this. I know it’s hard to do because it’s not something you like about yourself. It’s incredibly hard. But for me it’s brought a little peace. The right people will see you and love you for...

I don’t know your age but when I was growing up I let my stutter control my life! I never made good friends because I was that quite kid who skipped school 90% of the time. Once I got out of high scho...

Dude start calling people out on their shit. If you keep all this anger built up it’s only gonna make it worse. I stutter too but I’ve learned when people try to take advantage of me for it, don’t let...

> prep, the topics will comes naturally to you because you're in a flowing state. You don't need to think about the lines, the lines will come naturally to you be default. Maybe not the exact same ...

Thats actually a really great question, I've gone through something very similar, I think this will resonate with your situation. So yes, "over preparing" to you right now means to analyze what you ...

Your post hits close to home- this week I had to do a small presentation for a team meeting. I had prepared and practiced well but when the time came for me to speak, I froze up and I stuttered on eve...

It's okay , my friend. I know you've done your best and sacrificed so many things to fight your struggles and to get to where you are today , not only that but to get the job you want . If you're ha...

I really agree with this post. Learning to focus on expressing yourself rather than focusing on your speech is very hard to do. At least it has been for me. However I really believe this to be the key...

I’ve had the same contemplations (also an auditor in public accounting). I remember when I first came on as an intern I told my senior “I am enjoying my job but ideally I would end up working somewher...

I’ve had various moments like this during life, and what helps the most is re-examining my limiting beliefs and intentions. Do you believe people will think less of you if you stutter? Is your intent...

There have been threads on here about people going to similar things. The big thing to remember is stuttering is not a death sentence or the end of who you are. If you stutter, you're still you, just ...

Vent Stuttering sucks. When you want to tell a joke, you stutter at the punchline. You want to take a part in conversation: you end up staying silent. You have an idea to share in class: the person si...

I did McGuire over 20 years ago, just before Anne Blight had a disagreement with Dave McGuire and went off to form Starfish. The main focus is taking large breaths, like you do when exercising or sin...

Really really appreciate this!! I really resonate with the last part too, I get that completely, I’m super light hearted about my stutter and I think that’s why people sometimes don’t realise it’s a s...

Hello! Thanks for sharing. So there was one boy that liked me and i kind of liked him too. Even though i knew he knew i stuttered , once we were talking and i said yeah u know i have stutter and i sta...

Don't hide your stutter.. Just try to lessen the stutter.. The more you u hide the more severe it gets Im too a final year medical student who struggles in my oral and attandence.. But I did accept I...
