The solution is to first understand what stuttering is. And being able to distinguish the shit talk from real talk. Curing stutter is a long journey that cannot be walked into alone.. We need each oth...

Stutter is not gaugeable. You cannot say “I have a lil bit of stutter”. You either HAVE it or DON’t. End of story. Now. for people saying “I stopped caring what people think”, I’d say that it’s a goo...

Not really no. Most people sympathize with me when I stutter. Especially if I stop and say “sorry I stutter.” Everyone knows someone who does. No one ever cared, it was made up in my head because of ...

I was way worse when I was younger. I am an adult now and I really don't care what other people might think. Being an adult, I also know that other adults have their own problems and don't care about ...

At age 40, I stopped fighting it and finally embraced it. A whole new world opened up and I began to push myself out of my comfort zone. Live your life, I wasted 35 years due to fear, embarrassme...

It took over half my life to stop caring what other people thought of me. I went from a blocker that couldn’t say her own name to someone that stands up for herself and has like 98% fluency. I wish I...

I’m an coherent stutter but I’m pretty good at hiding it very well. Some think I’m very fluent but it’s just exhausting to hide 24/7 and sometimes my stutter just slips out. A teacher in high school a...

yeah cause we do it to hide we are stutterers. It’s a way of escaping facing the reality. So I’d say: Stutter to death but never escape from it through any tricks. Escaping the problem will negativel...

I'd say I BARELY stutter and everyone except SLP will not recognize me as a PWS. I tried practicing prounciations, tongue twisters, and mocking broadcasters when I was 14.5-15 y.o to cure my stutteri...

That’s bc that’s the nature of a block - it happens *because* you are trying not to stutter. Instead, tell people you have difficulty getting your words out. Don’t say “stutter” bc most ppl have a w...

I used to stutter maybe 90% of the time, now it's probably more like 20-25%. I used to blame my stutter for my problems, but became aware that there's a whole load of other problems in my head unrelat...

Try your best to make eye contact with the person or look at the face in some way or form. And don’t be ashamed if you do stutter; that’s when the stuttering is more likely to happen when u feel shame...
