It really depends, everyone has their own experiences and confronts to their stutter in very different ways. I personally accept it as a part of myself but i want to handle it as well. But in any case...

I suppose we could mention something like Stockholm Syndrome... - The way I look at it (personally) is that I want to say what I wanted to say, and this sometimes means facing a stutter head on. In ...

I spent so much time hating it when I was younger. Now it is just a part of me and who I am, like my freckles are. I know little tricks I can do to make my stutter go away, but they require so much...

This is a tough one and opinions differ, so this is my personal view. I won't say I embrace it or even prefer to speak with a stutter. For a long time I saw it as an alien element and wanted to wash ...

Does anyone feel that stuttering is apart of their identity and prefers to not use techniques they have learnt to speak more fluency? My partner has a stutter. They have gone to years of speech therap...

Imposter Syndrome and Stuttering

Imposter Syndrome and Stuttering Hi guys- this is my first post on this forum so apologies if I break any rules. I guess like the title says my stammer makes me feel like an impostor. I've just fini...

I think it takes a lot of cognitive restructuring to reduce your anxiety around the stuttering. Instead of “oh no!”, you eventually switch to “that would suck if it happened”, to “if it happens it hap...

I know I'm a little late, but as a person who stutters, I have a lot of feelings about Bill Denbrough from It. He was actually the first fictional character I had ever encountered who's stutter wasn...

Love can be expressed in more ways than speech. There's many love languages. And why does fluency even matter when dealing with people who love us and we trust?...

Oh yeah I see what your saying but after making fun of each other, you can’t “lose” because of your stutter if that makes sense....

It usually depends on the situation, joke and the person saying it. People around me learned that a “safe zone” for a joke is right after I make fun of it. You can always tell if someone’s just being ...

I feel you. Just yesterday I was thinking about the first time I got to talk in front of the whole class on my first year in high school, like, 15 years ago. I remember I couldn’t speak one single wor...

I read the study and it states that your stutter may come back if triggered and they give 2 examples of how a trigger can bring it back. My perspective is that everything, for me, is a trigger, becau...

WAY less fluent lol. I went from like a 4 to like an 8 lol... I need to be constantly talking to people and exposing myself to stuttering otherwise it becomes so much worse......

I started reading the book by John Harrison and another by Ruth Mead on stuttering. The idea that was really poignant in their books was the important of our thoughts and beliefs. I think this is de...

The relationship was great we were together for 7yrs she made me a better person I remember when we started dating I used to feel so confident around her but as time went on my stutter even became wor...

I had to stop trying to mask it. The techniques I was using sounded worse than the stutter. I'm almost 40 and have been stuttering my whole life. I have a family with kids. My daughters have slight sp...

I'm the opposite, i let them tease me about it, its a flaw in me and its not like everyone else doesnt have flaws, i've accepted that im going to stutter for the rest of my life, if they're the jokey ...

Eh it doesn't really matter to me. I'm pretty introverted anyways. And the only drug I do anymore is weed and I almost only smoke by myself anyways. And my speech doesn't get reeaally bad unless I get...

Yeah!!!! Dude for me it's all about the stress of stressing that you will. I'm going to do what you're doing more. Especially during this quarantine, not speaking to anyone. You kinda forget your flow...
