You don’t achieve permanent fluency but rather temporary fluency. Read books out loud, also the day you stop reading a book expect to stutter more than usual. If you take a break from reading books ex...

I mention it when a stutter happens and also make sure I include situations where I’ve spoken in previous workplaces to back myself up when I say my speech never got in the way of my performance. It...

I cringe when I hear that too… if anything, it’s a reminder that no one is 100% fluent. Usually, when someone says it, they’re just trying to save face quickly. It’s good they have a way to move past ...

Yeah me too, I have it in my CV and my LinkedIn. I'm working on my self acceptance and openly standing to it is an important step for me. If they have a problem with it, they won't invite me to an int...

I have been an adjunct at a college for \~9 years. 99% great with the pain in the a\*\* 1% who do not come to class, blame me, and roast my speech on their course evals. I am up front on the first day...

I do, and use it as an opportunity for self-effacing humor. When I'm introducing myself I'll say something like "and I've stuttered since I was a kid but it only comes up in low-pressure situations l...

Thank you. Unfortunately I have told him to try and slow down and it didn't work. He was doing the um um um thing but now he gets stuck on words that never gave him a problem before and he seems confu...

I feel your pain there. People are full of useless, even harmful advice…. Do I just talk less and less. I just tried calling a University in the area that a has a speech pathology program but I had to...

My stutter might be a bless in a way sometimes.

I did once, and I think it actually made my speech worse. It kinda got in my head and I spoke worse than normal....

Can definitely relate to this. I think it’s also important to whom you surround yourself with. You need people who don’t judge you for your stutter as the only way in my experience anyway that you i...

I,m 18M and the things you mentioned in your post are the exact same thing that will happen to me in future and how hard or impossible it is going to be for to find a girl who understands me and Best ...
