Yeah, having accepted it for myself as much as I can, any increase in my fluency is just a little extra plus rather than the only thing that matters...

Yes! "it's probably going to go away" is not that great because then if when you're eighteen and still stammering away, you find yourself quite ill equipped for that. I certainly did. I think that the...

We should probably think of it in the other direction: Some will outgrow it, which is a likelihood we can express in relation to a certain age, statistically. This does mean it becomes ingrown and una...

What (I think) cgstutter is trying to say that you shouldn't give a fuck what people think about you. Presentation and stuttering? Go for it. Speaking through the phone? Just do it. I know this is a b...

Hello! I wish i could give a good advice on overthinking(: i guess lets just not let stutter ruin our lives...

I dont use techniques, addressing the self esteem, judgement from others, and mindset is what brought me to where I am today...

This is a great mindset to be in. Glad you are here. But in my experience, trying to "forget about your stutter" will cause you more pain and stuttering. As this means you are putting energy into st...

Just trying to help. I get the impression you're jaded, and it makes you kinda hard to talk to. Perhaps try being a bit more open to other perspectives. You're not alone, you know....

>"crutches" and "reading aloud" and "mind training" So what's this about, exactly? Any things in particular that you're doing (radically) different now? - Also, hey, if your stutter is not mani...

Yes, exactly. We gotta treat like usual when we encounter challenges and setbacks. I think you missed my point. :) And the rest?...

I wouldn't call that a loss - I would call that the other party leaving. Not on us. ;) My point is about recognizing that we succeed when we succeed. It's a criteria thing....

I see what you're saying but there has been many times during my journey that I have asked for directions and the person just walked off. If I were to see that as a loss because I didn't get direction...

To take it just a wee step further, I'd actually suggest paying attention to the extent to which the communication goal was achieved. Like, if you got directions for pop tarts, that's a win, completel...

Exactly correct. Just you doing this brief presentation its a sign you're going to grow. Every outcome is in your favor. Just taking the action, you win...

Judge yourself based on your ACTIONS not your OUTCOMES

Judge yourself based on your ACTIONS not your OUTCOMES This one saying, completely changed my stuttering life. I truly believe ingraining this in your brain will do nothing but wonders for you. It i...

Thank u for ur advice! Fake it till u make it has been the philosophy so far so hopefully it works, age often brings more confidence as well!...

I think that's a good thing to be able to notice, yeah. This basic situation of "being counter to" or "facing an obstacle" can certainly make us angry... but the effort involved in presenting anger m...

Indeed. It's about achieving the purpose of the communication. Anything else is just details surrounding that point, and we should focus on the main thing. :)...

One thing I've learned through over a year in speech therapy is going into it trying to hide it as much as possible usually doesn't help :( Whenever I worked (full time student now), I was worried peo...
