Observations after becoming an ESL teacher and learning another language. Hey, I've always wanted to share my thoughts on this since I've thought it was interesting. Before college, I wasn't fluent wh...

Same here! I’ll be really worried about stuttering a lot and messing up during a presentation, and then I won’t at all. The weird thing is that I tend to stutter more around people I know, not strange...

Old guy here looking back over 60 years of stuttering, hopefully with some perspective you may find helpful. One unobvious truth about my stutter is that the less I care about it, the less of a probl...

This is something you have to remember: Even if you stutter, you can achieve a productive and satisfying result. - You should not be afraid of stuttering. You should not be afraid of what people thi...

Honestly this is one of the things I've had to struggle the most with. But at the end of the day, they're just people. They won't eat you alive. Confidence will build slowly but, if you atleast try so...

A 35 pws I know had a Lexus for one day before someone ran a shopping cart into it and made huge dent. He said he unleashed a tirade of profanity with zero stuttering. I do not per se suggest this. W...

Perfect, you'll do just fine then. I would classify myself as exactly that when I was first in college. Like people have said, college is a better environment for us stutterers. People are more accept...

Everyone puts on a front to some degree. The super confident articulate people are trying really hard to seem that way. Every one has things eating at them to some degree they just aren't as obvious a...

Oh yes I think it should work for me too. For me it's usually with new people that I meet, but with days the stuttering gets minimal if I interact a lot with them....

I don't forget it, but when speaking without thinking. I tend not to stutter as much...

Well don't you sound so confident.. I found the idea of confidence and eye contact to be nothing but relevant. Personally, if I'm going to stutter, I'm going to maintain eye contact and portray confid...

Same boat I swear in a past life I must’ve been an actor because my ability to jump in and out of character(s)/ accents WITH FLUENCY is ridiculous! Look we need some answers science 😅...
