Yes, I am 25 and doing well in life right now. I always use my stutter as an example for motivation, that if someone like me who cant even freaking talk straight, which should be basic for us humans, ...

Exposure was the only way out for me. Presenting scared the hell out of me but in high school forced myself to take a presentation class where every student had to give a speech a few times a week. It...

speech therapy doesn't work for you*, but it's proven to increase fluency in many others. there are many possible reasons why you might fail to respond to therapy. if i were more cynical i'd say you n...

It gets easier the more you do it, just go up there & do your best. Half the crowd probably isn’t really paying attention anyway, so try to relax & not beat yourself up too bad if it doesn’t go as wel...

My life is good and I don't hate myself at all. I love myself. I build a life for myself even with a severe stutter which is awesome but my life would be 100 times better if people like you didn't exi...

Just stay calm, be confident dont let urself down by just knowing the audience number. I have had countless presentations & seminar, some went well and some didnt. I prepare well, take notes on how i ...

i hope the person you were responding to finds peace with himself or herself, and learns to love himself or herself more than they currently do. there is no point in arguing with people who have thi...

You've embraced self-bullying as a way of life. That is so sad to see. Self-bullying is a lifetime of pain. You hate yourself because you believe the lies that you are 'broken'. You are stuck in a loo...

The fun part about IT is that it's full of people with odd quirks. If you're life is 'perfect' you wouldn't really fit in! And everyone you work with is carrying around some sort of hidden problem. Yo...

The reason 70% of stutterers have suicidal ideation is because stuttering is the only disability that is not treated as disability, You and me are a bunch of nobodies that hold no influence. That st...

Lots of excellent advice in this thread so far. I'd just add that it might help to not read from a script. Just think about the message you are trying to convey, not a word for word script you've mem...

every single thing that you've cited--blocks on a name, ordering food, telling a joke "at the right time"--are things we feel pressure about because we've been taught to compare our speech to the spee...

The neurological basis of stuttering is the most liberating thing I have ever had the privilege of learning. In fact, it takes all blame from myself away. You blame yourself for stuttering, i'm here t...

I believe it can be healed/managed/cured/reduced whichever word seems fit. Listen a lot of children stutter when there are young and statistics show 80% of them grow out of it. This happened to my bro...

It's only a problem because \*you\* say it's a problem. What if societal norms said we all had to be a certain height to be 'normal'? Then those who were born outside that height are deemed 'broken' ...

I don't understand why you wouldn't wanna talk about it. I talk about my stutter so that I educate the people around me that it's normal. Talking about it shouldn't be a burden. Side note but I don'...

No. I used it as a testing method for how human they were. Punch that fear shit in the throat. Never settle....

Thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏼 But hey, I’m only human too, and I also go through bouts of self doubt, sadness and anger about my stuttering too. At the end of the day, I am who I am, and I ...

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s really awesome. You’re a strong person, and I’m going to take inspiration from you. I’m going to focus on my goals and keep working on improving my speech, and...

I’ve decided to live with my stutter in order to heal from it.
