Striving to be fluent is fine, but in order to change first you must accept. Acceptance is where change begins. However, one should not just accept and do nothing about it, always try to learn new thi...
I stutter at work and everyone likes me. Stop worrying about other people. Realize it's an internal battle with yourself. Do you avoid speaking situations? Stop doing that. Attack every speaking situa...
For me there have been a few things that have helped to lesson my anxiety drastically. 1. Remember that people dont think much of your stutter besides simply acknowledging it. 2. Even if people do th...
Well, it's good you can self-analyze like that. I think everyone goes through something of a journey with stuttering and other problems. I tried drinking before college classes too. What helped me wa...
Yes it does. It's a good way to learn/ practice techniques to help control the stuttering, and a good way to manage your expectations and emotions towards stuttering. 90% of stuttering is our own nega...
I'm not a believer in speech therapy and all that. I think for a lot of people it can be an impediment to acceptance. I have a mild to moderate stutter as well and I've come to love conversation. I d...
>you either choose to suppress these, or you choose to channel these I actually think this is far too simplistic a description of what emotional reactions are all about. :) But I'm not trying to ...
you're arguing against a point i'm not even trying to make. i'm not saying "frustration" is the only natural, inherent response to a difficult situation - neither am i implying we are uncapable of cho...
>a perfectly human trait Well, that's the thing: "Human nature" isn't really an argument for anything. We can talk about tendencies, but we can also talk about other tendencies that point in other...
Thank you for sharing this story, i can't imagine how humiliating that must have felt. total dick-move from your family member, super inconsiderate. I just wanted to reply because it seems to have mes...
i was asking out of curiosity rather than implying anything, but i do think that being frustrated every now and then is a perfectly human trait - just as healthy to have an occasional frustration in ...
Interesting question. It implies that it is common to carry frustration around, only to take it out on something later. I actually don't think that sounds healthy. Sure, I've been frustrated about m...
There are two things you are doing which is making your stutter worse. 1. Getting depressed when you are stuttering 2. Getting happy when you are not stuttering. Don't get excited and become happy ...
I stutter myself and was doing it for past 26 years. I panicked when my daughter started to stutter. I tried everything to get rid of her stutter but no success. All speech therapist suggested talking...
Okay? And I also substitute words OFTEN and frankly I hate it. I just personally find it very stressful and sometimes find it better to just fight through my stutter or block, and it actually starts t...
I already am fluent. Did you watch the video I shared, and others of mine? Those goals that you've mentioned do help you to achieve fluency. But why stop once you've achieved those things? There's alw...
I fully agree that gaining a sense of empowerment and control is essential on becoming more fluent - i've said something similar in my [post about a book for self-therapy](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stu...
I think we can both agree that fluency is when you speak with great ease and showing no signs of stuttering (the odd em's etc. doesn't count). What you've said about "no guarantee this method works ...
Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech
Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech I've spoken about people who have "settled" in the past and it's had quite a mixed response. People understood and acknowledged my points bu...
Thanks on both fronts! You're right, I just need to calm down and be deliberate about it. If there was a magic fix I think we'd all know about it by now haha....
