Man you have every right to feel the way you do right now. It can be extremely tough. Especially being 19. That age is hard and full of constant comparisons to others (which of course does not make yo...

Oh, I totally do not make eye contact when I talk to people. I can usually get as far as looking in their direction or looking at their forehead, but I look down a LOT. I don't know how much of it i...

Can I offer this perspective, vulnerability is strength. Having to be vulnerable is strong. Putting yourself out there with your stutter is strong. Vulnerability can even act as a character meter, if ...

People who stutter (PWS) aren't monoliths so take your cue from him. Does he flinch or look annoyed when he stutters, or does he just roll with it? If he seems unflustered, chances are good that he's ...

I've look this up for myself. Never been told about one. I've usually kept my stutter to myself even though it's obvious, so I guess people choose to ignore it. I've resolved to be upfront about it fr...

Ah, I see - you feel bad about _lying_. That's easy enough to remedy: Go tell the truth instead - and while you're at it, explain what you're going through....

Be good to hear others opinions on this. I think it depends on the person. Maybe if it was very obvious and they worked hard at it then it might be appropriate. My stutter got a lot better when I wa...

I’ve thought the same thing about Bruce and Sam but when I hear Biden talk about stuttering, I can tell he knows what he’s talking about. I wish that Biden would talk about currently being a stutterer...

I've read in "advice to those who stutter" second edition that substituting words lets you subconciously build up even more fear. Still reading that book, but seems to be a good lecture aswell. It's a...

It depends on how I'm feeling and how my fluency is that day/in that moment. If neither is feeling great, or if I don't feel like working through a block, I'll substitute a word. But if I'm feeling be...

I haven't read the article yet, but long-term "recovery" is possible. It's not perfect fluency, but it's significantly improved. I still have bad days, and have to work to manage my fluency, but I don...
