Sounds exactly the same as me. If I’ve had a few beers and completely forget about it I’m fine, soon as I remember I stutter it makes itself known. ...

That’s awesome! It’s not so bad but I notice I have it when I have to plan on saying certain things and more so when my anxiety and stress is at its peak.. not thinking about it helps. Most people don...

I can empathize with you. I was born a social, extroverted person and my stutter used to be a big reason to why I had a lot of introverted and mute moments. The muteness was definitely debilitating, b...

How did you guys accept your stutter? (Practice Self-Acceptance)

How did you guys accept your stutter? (Practice Self-Acceptance) I'm a very severe pws, like facial contortion, block on every word bad. I'm also very covert about my speech, I try at all costs to avo...

^ exactly. We condition ourselves to live in our heads and assume that our stutter is going to ruin our life. Of course it's one of the hardest things to deal with, but we fail to realize that other p...

Such a good thought man. I had a interview for graduate school a few months ago. Once it began I could feel the sweat dripping off my fucking head and the speech blocks appearing. Once I became so ner...

Mate, mind my language, but what the fuck did you expect their reaction to be? For the average person, hearing/seeing a stutterer is translated as extreme nervousness or some mental disorder. They can...

I don't know man, I was sick and tired of hiding my weaknesses by staying far from public speakings... This time I decided to come out of my comfort zone and see what I'm actually good at. I won't lie...

Talking about things like you have done is the most important part of acceptanxe. For so long I never spoke about how hard it is to stammer, but youll be surprised how many people have geniune empatht...

I can never say stutter fluently, never. How ironic I guess. It’s so annoying because I want to say it with confidence but I can’t even say stutter ...

I promise you that you care SO MUCH more about your stutter that most perspective SOs will (especially if they take the initiative to get to know you). Make the issue known early, and you may be surpr...

It was a very good friend;my friend group knows about my stutter and honestly they never seemed to mind so I never felt conscious stuttering. So things got close with this girl and I asked her out eve...

I would love to give you an easy way out, but unfortunately there isn't. I'm from Italy [M 23], and i too have a not severe stutter, that i always hide with quick word swaps, pauses and accurately p...

That's good you got help. I've never gotten a speech therapist because 1) I have horrible anxiety 2) I feel like my stutter isn't that bad, it isn't as bad as yours was. ...

I have mixed feelings about it, on one hand it’s a relief to not have to struggle to say it, but then at the same time it makes me feel incapable. ...

Why do you think that is? Is there a direct link between stuttering and initiating conversations, and why do some people struggle with one more than the other? I personally don't talk about my stutte...

I think the best way to not give a fuck about what people think is to just own it. You have a stutter, it is what it is. It doesn't define you, it's just something you have. Instead of being afraid of...

I’m a 21f, I recently started opening up about my stutter. I’ve ignored it my whole life and my family never spoke about it either. I’m pretty much starting from scratch on really accepting my stutter...

Nice, but changing the words doesn't help you at all. It's just a way of avoiding your stutter instead of facing the fact that you are indeed a stutterer. I had the same problem but I am forcing mysel...

Opening up to family and friends was one of the best things I did for my stutter. Not feeling like you need to hide all the time and feeling shame, it can be liberating and your speech gets better as ...
