Well... force yourself. It'll be awkward for a while - rather a long while, in fact, since these are very ingrained habits - but over the years, some measure of skill and normalcy should surface. I'm...

I do the same. I just try to force myself to at least glance at the person when I notice myself doing it. Something that's important to realise though, is that it's normal not to make constant eye c...

I think it's a hard step to complete without a milieu that furthers it. I've been lucky to be around nice people, where I could get used to the idea of stuttering without repercussion. Over time, this...

>This is exactly the mindset I'm trying to cultivate lately. I'm a person who stutters. I've been one since I was a child. Why do I feel the need to hide it or feign perfection? As I get older, I'm...

I think there are a couple of aspects to unpack here. Allow me some lines text, if you please. :)   As I've been trying to say a lot in here, we never actually move from a "perfect sentence...

Haha this sometimes happens to me, but I don't think it is because of the stutter....

The thing is I never admitted to anyone that I stutter, the only people I admitted to are my parents and my partner. Took my parents years and years to accept me having a speech problem and give up fi...

You're tired and worn thin. It happens to everyone, regardless of stutter. The stutter is just another way for it to happen. It also sounds like your have a difficult advisor, which is another source ...

/u/sampiren \- this really strikes a chord with me. I'm 36M stuttered pretty severely when I was much younger, it is less now but it's definitely still a big struggle. I can related to wishing I coul...

Honestly a phd is very psychologically draining. You are training to be an expert in a very focused area. I'm sure being a woman in a male dominated field, with English as a second language, and a stu...

What you've accomplished so far is damn great, you should be really proud of it. Take a break when you can and clear your mind with some hobbie. English is not my first language either, however I stu...

This right here is the correct answer. Most people don't care if we stutter. We are our worst enemies because we hold ourselves back out of fear....

Not necessarily. I'm not going to echo the commentators down below who say do it anyway, because I agree with them as someone who has dealt with not only stutter, but dysarthia and word blocking but ...

As a woman I can say definitely I should have leveled up way more by now. I am a small black immigrant to boot and the amount of shit I have to take is ridiculous. But compared to the shit my grandm...

Does anyone else have this moment when ur alone?

Does anyone else have this moment when ur alone? it seems like the only time i feel "Normal" is when i dont talk.. like when im talking im a different person and thats not who i am, but when im alone ...

Talking while focusing.

Talking while focusing. When i was 17 i got into a period of depression and during that time i used to search in the internet for solutions for my stutter, and during that time i passed by a channel c...

Well, you stutter. So do I. But I don't hide it. There's simply no reason to. People have all sorts of traits - some of them are convenient, some are less convenient, and some are outright hindrances....

Do note I wrote 'tantamount' just before that part of the sentence. My presumptuousness is heavily modified by that. - At any rate, in the case you're making, I do believe we have a bit of a conundr...

> trying my hardest to hide it That's a bummer. You shouldn't have to hide anything. That's putting undue strain on top of something that's already taxing......
