It gets better with age, yeah. I started seeing it more as a gauge on the personality of who I was speaking to, rather than a reflection of how I should feel about myself....

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I had just as much of a hard time in high school. In fact I still have vivid dreams about embarrassing presentations and getting called on to read and barely b...

I really admire those who can speak with a smooth and relaxed voice.

I really admire those who can speak with a smooth and relaxed voice. When listening to some podcasts, youtube videos, or presentation, some videos like this [one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0NuO...

Hello I’m 34 M and I have stutter since 7. Seeking a therapist will help but what also helps is to check in with yourself and tell yourself I stutter so what it’s who I am and if that change that’s go...

I manage a gift shop so I deal with people every day. And yes I’ve stuttered my whole life. It’s really hard and I hope you find something that helps you!...

There was an Oscar winner about a stuttering King a decade ago. It’s just really not that common. And mostly invisible. I don’t blame people for not being aware of us....

A lot of us feel less important. Stuttering does real damage to our sense of self worth. Today needs to be the day you look in the mirror and see the most important person in the world. Every time ...

I see a man of resolve and brevity in you. Don’t be disheartened. With this new age of technology, you can be anyone you want. Most jobs don’t need speaking roles anyway. Most centimilion dollar tech,...

I’m 67 yo. I remember taking a speech class in high school. I gave a speech on mixing drinks and acted like there was really vodka in the bottle and that I was getting drunk. The teacher came over to ...

Untrue. Biden has been open about having had a stutter for decades...

Yes, stutterers have some kind of misfiring in the brain, so they are as neurodivergent as ADHD or autistic people. I think the difference is their "difference" is much harder to ignore at the surfac...

It can definitely be genetic. Stuttering runs through my family on my dad's side...

Agreed! On the other hand, even being queer or neurodivergent (for example ADHD and bipolar) started to be normalized but the stuttering remains and probably will remain in weird side alongside with m...

Yes, even before society had taught me that I was a "freak", i used to befriend the immigrant and foreign and queer kids at grade school. Like is drawn to like. And they were usually more interesting...

Stuttering and Stoicism + Taylor Swift

Stuttering and Stoicism + Taylor Swift I’m a fan of Ryan Holiday and his writings where he aims to share the stoics as guides and inspiration for daily life. His book, “The Obstacle is the Way” coul...

Seek out eccentrics, indie people, freaks, and other outsiders (including immigrants). They are used to being outcasts and usually aren't as judgemental due to being excluded themselves from the mains...

Thank you very much for sharing your journey here, most people dont realize that its not a speech issue (how can you fluent when alone or talking to friend/pet/wife and not when talking outside). its ...

It will pass, I was you just a few years ago, I had a teaching job that's mandatory as the final step of graduation in my country, somehow my stutter became extreme out of nowhere, I had 0 anxiety and...

OP - it’s hard to see what is when we’re all consumed with something else, like the stutter being the source of all things negative in our life....

Absolutely, anyone who has had it severe holds the trauma and experiences that came with it. It will always be somewhere in the back of their mind and always has the chance of coming back if life circ...
