Thank you and obviously you as well. It’s strange how it ebbs and flows. I know it’ll pass and I’ll stop being so dramatic. :)...

You know, I tend to not use the word "confidence". It doesn't quite sound like what I experience. I think I like the word "familiarity" instead. Like, we know sort of what to expect, which means we do...

I have quite the vivid memories from years ago of me stuttering publicly with people reacting weird about it, so I'm not the person to ask for help in this case. What I can say is that, you're not a...

Long time lurker, but I rarely post. I felt like this should be one of the few times though... Confidence is everything. I went to a college where they focused on group work, presentations, and paper...

That’s the way I felt at your age. Sort of the way I feel now. I’m 50. I like the way you expressed the desperation but also the sprinkling of LOLs like “Wtf why me it’s so bassackwards retarded it...

IMO therapies that focus on stuttering comfortably and without fear or tension. Same natural disfluencies, different behavioral response....

Getting over a tough day/situation?

Getting over a tough day/situation? Usually I’m feeling good and fairly confident , even with minor slip ups , but some days I can get pretty negative in a slump, what kind of stuff do you guys do to ...

I’ve commented here before on someone asking a similar question. I can tell you that I suffered the most in college. People don’t understand it and you’re constantly either having to socialize and spe...

Great post. You have given some simple practical advices. What you said in the beginning, about other people reactions, is plain truth. Maybe it's hard and scary to understand, but the fact is that ...

Accept yourself and stop focusing on other people's reactions

Accept yourself and stop focusing on other people's reactions Stutterers are always focusing way too much on how other people will react, how others feel. Why? Why do you let other people's reactions ...

They don't but in their ignorance they're also right. They don't understand how all-consuming the problem can be for stutterers, because from their perspective and in the grand scheme of things, it'...

I've probably read close to a dozen books about stuttering from cover to back and some times they helped mask my stutter, but nothing felt natural. I became fluent only after I tripped over the root o...

The benefit of speech therapy isn't really better speech, but more so how you feel about your own speech. At least that was the case for me. ...

Sounds like speech therapy would do alot out good for you. It has helped my change my mind set towards my speech to a more positive time....

Hey guys. I just performed infront of 900+ people on friday. I can finally say I did it. (With long ass story)

Hey guys. I just performed infront of 900+ people on friday. I can finally say I did it. (With long ass story) (Link to video below) I conquered my biggest fear and shit on its grave. It’s my last yea...

And you are assuming that it is not debilitating for me. Don't assume things like that either. I'm not going to sugar coat things. Life is tough, the world is tough. You either grow to meet it, or y...

Agreed. But I don't think it's the sub's job to force people into a comfort level that they may not be ready for. I can appreciate that approach but it has kind of an off-putting sink or swim strateg...

Good, hit that breaking point and just accept that it's a lifetime thing. It's much easier when you just go with it instead of fighting it. And I don't mean only your life is easier that way, which it...

Giving advice to others

Giving advice to others After reading through a couple of threads on page, I feel like I should do this: So you stutter, you feel like your world is crumbling, you’ve got no one to lean on, or take ...

Awesome story! I had a similar revelation when I was 18 as well and my stuttering almost disappeared afterwards (maybe because I wasn't as anxious anymore). Recently it's been coming back (I'm 24) and...
