Well said. My experiences are very similar. It’s effective, but I wish it was easier. As with most things, growth and improvement rarely happen without some discomfort....

Public speaking is scary for those who don’t practice. I assume your dysfluency isn’t severe or your boss wouldn’t have asked you. As an instructor you would improve over time - more relaxed etc. It’...

I also started going out more and doing exposure therapy for few months. I've seen some improvements. As you have said it's extremely uncomfortable and somedays are like hell. The more you get out of ...

I think that you should not avoid situations where you have to speak, because this will only increase your stress and stuttering. Recently, my teacher asked me to represent my class at an assembly w...

I have this same problem. I find exposure therapy works well over time. It’s extremely uncomfortable, of course, but there eventually comes a point when you’re around these uncomfortable things long e...

I can relate. My gut reaction is always to turn down opportunities like this because it’s uncomfortable and I’m afraid of what might happen. Even so, I will usually say “yes” to this stuff anyway, no...

this is the way... our mind is the most powerful tool there is, and we can achieve great things by visualizing what we want to achieve AS IF WE'VE ALREADY ACHIEVED IT, taking risks & facing our fear...

The key is to force yourself a little out of your comfort zone. Yes it is embarrassing at first but it is necessary! Trust me!...

I would also be terrified but it would be a great opportunity to grow. You can start out by stating you have a stutter then just get into it. I think you would get more respect than ridicule by having...

I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and recommend that people always try new things. The only way to GUARANTEE your failure is to never try...

I really appreciate your post. This is the motivation we need to overcome our anxiety and fear of stuttering. It really helps...

That guy is a cunt who should feel shame, not you. Anyone that mocks anyone for something like a stutter clearly isn’t happy and clearly hasn’t and won’t go far in life Keep your head up, OP ❤️...

Some people might not advise this, but this is something I did. At the start of each year, I emailed all my teachers and let them know of my stutter. Many teachers let me opt out of presentations. The...

Listen, I have been really struggling with my stutter, until suddenly something dawned on me and it’s been helping a lot recently. You can’t control your stutter, but you CAN CONTROL your CONFIDENCE....

There’s more to all of us than the fact that we stutter. I bet some of you are hilarious, wicked smart, amazing chess players, runners, skiers, chefs, a loyal friend, avid readers, movie critics, anim...

Bob Marley said it best: forget your troubles and DANCE, forget your weakness and DANCE. I know you're down in the dumps right now and stuttering has wore you down. I don't know about you but I tend...

What I usually try to do now is hype myself up before the interview, repeat positive affirmations and smile a lot. If I stutter, I tell the interviewer about my speech impediment and quickly move on. ...

Somedays are just bad, can't help because you lose all the hope and confidence you have built over the days. You feel why this curse came to me only. But after 2-3 therapy session I'm ok with whateve...

You tell your friends you don’t appreciate it when they speak to you like that about your stuttering. If they don’t like it, then go it alone at school. Don’t get too heated, though it would be tempti...

Yeah, like 20 years ago. It was bad. It’s better, I got better and feel better. Find new friends, get a hobby, start working out a new gym, shake it up....
