I totally understand how you’re feeling. For me, college started to get easier once I accepted my stutter, was open about it, and tried not to care too much. It definitely is hard to do this, but I ac...

My boyfriend of three years has never minded my stutter, and when we first met it didn’t bother him at all. He helps me order things when he knows I’m having a hard time or I give him the “help me” lo...

Honestly, I thought and still thinking about it. But I need courage to do it as I always find it easier to hide my stutter....

Be comfortable in your own skin. I have a moderate stutter and I focus on living and not my stutter. It's amazing when you stop fighting your stutter, your fluency improves. We are all different i...

We like/love people for their positive attributes and not for their lack of negative ones. The key is to be yourself despite your stutter. Don't let it hold you back from showing everything you've got...

I've been given this 'advice' by my non-stuttering friends as a teen, like "you don't stutter when you do funny voice impersonations, can't you just always pretend you're acting?" It doesn't really w...

Wow- I loved this article. The beginning described the process of what happens really well. It’s also great that they addressed the problem that many stutterers have (me included) of not being able to...

I highly recommend you ease seeking fluency. It’s unfortunate that is what all of us look for it but it’s not the only thing that can help. There is no fix because there is nothing wrong with us. We a...

I'm of the opinion that accepting it as part of who you are is key to deal with it. For me, trying not to stutter makes me get more stressed and build up more tension, making the whole thing worse in ...

hey- i would like to help rationalize a few of your (perhaps recent) realizations about when you do and don't stutter, what i've found it's meant for me and my blocking stutter, and then also lend som...

This is great. It really is. Maintaining eye contact during a MOS is not easy. However (as someone in the back sighs at me loudly), may I suggest that you might have come off as a person who did stut...

I would take them at their word. Probably 80% of the people I work with don't realize that I stutter (until I do). But I find it particularly frustrating when people think that I'm stuttering because ...

I know exactly how you feel, you are not alone. I am 23, I also have a very bad blocking stammer that is 100% psychological, it makes life very hard. The most important thing I can tell you, is don't ...

Been there. Until I just did it. I told myself no more will fear control my life. Now, I speak in front of 1k people (medical professionals) in large auditoriums and I LOVE IT. Just little by litt...

I do that all the time. It doesn't help at all. For me, it's just a bad habit that stems from the embarrassment that comes with stuttering in social situations....

I also tend to look away and O catch myself regretting it immediately! Eye contact demonstrates confidence and fearlessness. I think that's partly why I stutter. Fear. Making eye contact is something ...

I do, all the time. It's a habit I want to break as it makes the conversation feel really impersonal. But then I also think that's exactly why I look away, to try and get away from the conversation/p...

The weird thing for me is that I'll explain the situation the first time by stuttering and hardly getting my words out. But once they say can you say that again the line is breaking up, then I repeat ...

I don't pretend, no. I stutter if I must, and that's that. There's no reason to hide a stutter. It's just a thing that some people have. The world doesn't fall apart just because someone stutters. If ...

This is a good insight to realize and I think one of the first steps to embracing who you are. However this will also mean reducing covert behaviors until you are no longer covert. The first step to c...
