You're not broken. You don't need to be fixed. The speech therapists that treat you as such are wrong. The things that may make your life miserable are disruptive learned behaviors and unhelpful thoug...

Meditation is to absolve yourself from the cursed voice in your head so as to purely be present without interruption or doubt. It is to be without self review, in full acceptance. There is no thought....

I have always been an over achiever and very critical about my own perceived flaws. I think I just need to remember that I am relatively smart af (or atleast academically) and my speech doesn't defin...

To my fellow brothers and sisters who stutter. I got some motivation for you.

To my fellow brothers and sisters who stutter. I got some motivation for you. I've been practicing semen retention for the last 15 days and my confidence has boosted is significantly. The reason why I...

A lot of these comments have a great advice, but as a fellow 17 year old who has also struggled socializing with kids, I think I can provide some advice. The biggest one for me was working on myself a...

I’m 24 now, so not much older, but old enough to be in a different stage of life, and I’ve gotten here while stuttering all the while. First off, you’re not fucked in the head. Social anxiety is nor...

I was once your age (I feel old saying that, I’m 28, lol) It was a scary time to communicate with other people and finding work. It’s definitely tough living with this impediment. It’s something you...

We should probably note that we don't know how precisely stutter _works_, so that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about models of (self-)understanding. If we think of ourselves in a ce...

going out if your way to talk to people will help out believe it or not. dont look at the bad side of going out to talk to people & stuttering. look at it as, “i gave it a shot and went out of my ...

Congrats. Keep going. The reading out loud is mission critical. If you can layer in affirmations and some other bits to start shaping a new mindset, I think you'll be astounded how much progress you w...

I think I'm like most stutterers who've been stuttering for years and years - sort of comfortable with it most of the time, a bit annoyed at other times, a bit embarrassed at other times. But overall,...

"Getting over stuttering" can mean a couple of things, I suppose. It can mean getting to a place where stutter no longer makes you mad, sad and that sort of thing. It can also mean getting to a plac...

> I would do anything to get rid of my stutter because I feel like people just look at you at a “stutterer” if they know you stutter, rather than your actual personality. I feel the same way. But...

Ey, it's tough out here playa ngl...Idk what caused me to 1 day snap out of my inner obsession with my stuttering many years ago but one day I got tired of concentrating so much on my stutter and just...

I whole heartedly agree that the stuttering “treatments” are a load of shit and purely don’t work. They divert the issue elsewhere and do not solve the underlying problem. Accepting your stuttering is...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. I have always believed stuttering to be psychological, atleast for some of us. 3 years back, I stated an opinion here (without concur facts), that s...

I disagree about not being able to do anything about it and accepting it. But that doesn't mean you should think like I do, so i'm just sharing a different opinion here. I'm nearly fluent now and I l...

Much appreciated. I actually don't really see myself as a person who stutters anymore. It's strange, the mental switch that went off. And I don't think that I think like a fluent person, and maybe I n...

I repeat ten affirmations, 20 times each, at least once per day. I used to do twice a day. I use the set in Lee Lovett's book, but I've also used other ones like, ''I own my own power,'' ''I can do an...

I'm shy as well, and still bad at this approach too. But it's pretty much impossible to completely shut down and disconnect from other people's opinions and all that, I think it's important not to try...
