I just had a date after 2 year of shame of my stutter I was always afraid of going a date because of my stutter. My friend and I decided to download tinder to challenge ourselves. I don't know how t...

Big stakeholder presentation tomorrow. Just going over and addressing thoughts in my head.

Big stakeholder presentation tomorrow. Just going over and addressing thoughts in my head. After getting laid off a year ago, I find myself in my thirties and back in school taking design classes to u...

Please dont use any sedative medications to cure your stammering. Do yoga and meditation and change your mindset. Dont think what othera will think because no one have time to think about you even for...

I tried speech therapy for years, and it never clicked with me. I’ve found that by simply coming to terms with myself, I’ve come much farther....

I second that. The quest is not to find a way around it. As they say, the best way is "through" it. Just takes practice, perseverance, and some self belief. ...

That's the way to go! We are more than our stutter. Don't let it define who you are. I have gone a similar path and, from my experience, it's a combination of speech work and attitude work (confidenc...

Self acceptance is the first step. Confidence and self-respect is what ultimately "cures" it. Whenever I have a bad speech day, I read in my journal of a day that I achieved great speaking success, da...

I just gave my first public speech today in a hackathon ( I stepped in for the main speaker as he wasn't available) and can't believe I hardly stuttered. For the past few months, I have learning self ...

Your post doesn't really offer much advice. It's moreso a progress report/humble brag. I'm glad you found success and I hope it lasts. But you aren't saying anything other than "be confident" lmao....

Alright here we go: 1: Learn about and how to control your parasympathetic nervous system. There are tons of weird alternative medicine ways that claim to do it but there are also science backed ways...

So the advice is, “Relax and be confident!”? I completely agree; however, the challenge some have is HOW to achieve that. ...

I have the same thing as you, and I think most people refer to it as a stammer. Like you as well, I usually have trouble with words that start with vowels (especially wonderful that both my first and ...

One thing that helped me accept stuttering, after years of going through therapy or trying out devices and even hypnosis, was realizing literally no one around me cared about it. My dad stutters too, ...

I have to admit, I'm on the same wavelength as reddictaccountiuse -- I'm detecting with some of your comments hints that you think it's your son's fault that he wasn't able to follow through with the ...

Stop treating it like a big deal. If you treat it like a big problem that needs to be fixed, that’s going to make it weigh heavier on him. Let him find his own path....

I had a phone interview today, I'm well beyond 18, and feel the exact same way. I wrote two pages of notes for a 20 minute call and was able to *maybe* get through 1/4 of it. This was for a senior e...

I appreciate your personal take. My path was similar in that I accepted and stopped avoiding my stutter, which then increased my fluency. That worked for me, it worked for you, it doesn’t mean it’s un...

i don't think you are wrong! thanks for your comments, i agree with you! it's an individualized journey and we have to listen to how we feel and how real-world situations go and act accordingly. what ...

Don't let it have an effect on your happiness. Don't worry about things that are outside of your control. My stutter is uncontrollable, so I let it be uncontrollable. I put no effort into trying to "f...

Thanks for sharing! It's good to get different opinions and attitudes about stuttering -- it feels like such an individualized issue, we all have our own story. ​ I have done or do some o...
