Just to be sure - I'm not trying to undermine that! I'm sorry if it came off that way (to you or anyone else reading). I'm definitely not going for "forced positivity" or "forced optimism" (in case t...

I admit, I'm not saying we should do things that are hard _over and over no matter the cost_. I'm just trying to speak against the notion that we should just not bother at all. I also think we should...

I definitely know about timings getting messed up like that. But that's not reason enough to stop us from trying, I think. We shouldn't boil the entire _option_ of speaking down to "oh it's not guara...

To be perfectly honest, I don't lend much credence to those terms (the dichotomy of introvert/extrovert). I think it's something that blew up on the internet, mostly, because it's all too easy to rela...

I would say so, yes. If you posit an adversary, that's somehow already outside of your control. Perhaps you then think in terms of a fight. But that's not necessarily a good approach. Of course, narr...

Stuttering is not doing wrong, but I would like to be more in control of my speech. D- is OK in my books haha. To me, it means try harder. I realize bad grades can actually lead to worsening of my sit...

I'm 30 yrs old, a female living in Africa. I've stuttered since i was 5 i think and i've managed to get through life mostly ok except of late where i seem to be regressing-fast! However i've learnt tw...

Well , i also struggle with blocks , one thing i would recommend doing is to just say the word “boss” for once , ignoring the reaction of others while saying it. Maybe who knows it might not be as bad...

I'm not familiar with this game, but I read somewhere that the brain can create new pathways. So it is possible. Perhaps visualizing is the way. Visualize that you are in the pros when playing and wh...

I never recommended having faith, actually quite the opposite. You have to work for it, instead of having faith in something external (i.e, a pill). You have to face your fear, stop avoiding life, acc...

I'm 18 and off to uni very soon too, and I've been thinking about the effect it might have. But I think this thinking is the problem! I'm forcing myself to try to realise that it's not a problem! It's...

Everything is all in our heads. Learning to manage your thoughts is the greatest gift stuttering can give you. Try a meditation or awareness practice. Some people here will argue a reductionist approa...

Your story sounds almost exactly similar to mine. But I have about 10 years on you so I've been through it all and feel I can offer some advice. 1. It really helps to be open about the fact you stutt...

This is so relatable and I'm glad you shared the experience. I feel like there's one of two ways you could view it - yeah, there's the natural "oh god that was awful why do I have to stutter, why God...

Network Engineering. I stutter. Don't limit what you think you can do. The limitations are truly in your mind only. There was a time in my life where I could never imagine doing the daily things I do,...

Yeah I have a problem with authority too. I’m 32 now so my parents are no longer authoritarian figures so I don’t have a problem speaking with them. I’ve also learned to not give a shit about my stutt...

It's a two way street. We know how frustrating it is. Personally I hate being told that. The thing is, that hyper-awareness is very real and arguably just as damaging as struggling to communicate. ...

I stuttered too..there are two things I did that reduced my stutter to barely noticeable. First: the "don't give a F" attitude. Basically, I just tell myself that I don't give a F what others think, I...

There is no borderline autism: You're either on the spectrum or not. It's just a social thing, that can be overcome. I think posting the celebrities will work....

Wow I'd never heard of this. I 100% believe I suffered from that for many years. This is surreal to read. It feels like reading my own thoughts. I think I've worked my way out of it recently (ironical...
