Being Authentic as a Stutterer

Being Authentic as a Stutterer Hey guys, today I went through a series of interviews for potential jobs, that actually went very well. I stammered a few times, but nothing noticeable or earth-shatteri...

Lean into the emotions of the situation other than fear. When I think too much about not stuttering, it's debilitating. If I'm preoccupied with the rest of the interaction the stutters are just minor ...

I think I know exactly how do you feel. I used to feel like I'm acting in front of other people, like I'm not able to show them who I actually am, like there's no true me. I think it's still true to s...

Yeah, I swear saying weird sentences so I avoid stuttering has got to end, even if I make the weirdest face I gotta say what I want anyway...

I started using that mindset a while ago. I got tired of being restricted so I broke free and started saying stuff even if I stuttered on them. I got tired of find replacement words that didn’t quite ...

I'll join you for fucking sure. Uni is starting in a week or so, I'm gonna stutter anyway so might as well just say what the fuck I wanna say...

I'm sorry you've been struggling so much. I've been there and I know it can be very tough. I would like to share a few things I've learned along on my journey that I hope will be of some help: * The ...

ohhhhh, no no. I don't "perform/impersonate/accent" anymore. That was just an excersize I used to analyze my stutter. I'm a performer for a living, but I don't put on an act, or accent, or anything ...

And do you feel like you're in control of your personality still? It's not putting undue stress on you, having to "perform" in order to be able to talk? I'm asking because this is the sort of thing w...

Hey, it's not _you_ who's doing this! It's not _because_ you think about it, that you stutter. You just have a stutter! That's what makes you stutter. :) You can think about it or not - it doesn't ma...

I went through a period like that and it went pretty well for the smaller blocks but by the time the big blocks popped up the flow of the conversation would normally be ruined along with my mood which...

Should I just talk and ignore my blocks

Should I just talk and ignore my blocks So I block stutter and before I talk I’m always thinking about not stuttering and while I talk it’s the same thing. Should I just talk without worrying Bc if st...

Yeah man I know what you mean by using dating apps. Its soo much easier for us to express ourselves. But its annoying becuase I am shit scared I won't be able to reciprocate that same level of transpa...

Yes, this happens with me too. I go around telling people that I am an introvert because I usually don't start conversation and talk only when question is directed to me but I have been told by my fri...

Yes! My partner thinks i’m hilarious because I can talk almost fluently around them/they follow my sentences easy anyway, but everyone else has no idea and think I’m more shy than I really am because ...

I think the idea of having a voice is never as straightforward as "I think it and then I say it". So, whatever it is we think we want to say may not necessarily be what we come to deliver - regardless...

I totally agree. I feel like no one really knows me. I can have such long and detailed discussions within my own thoughts, but they're just not possible in real speech. It's not just what I say, bu...

That last sentence “fluent people don’t understand” is one I preach daily. People think I stray away from conversations or think I’m heavily introverted when in reality it takes so much conscious awar...

This resonates with me so much! Keeping busy has always resulted in a drastic change in my speech and stuttering. I notice that when I’m forced to show up I do and make the best of it. Stuttering take...
