I understand. I'm 39 and lasted a year of high school without any stammer. That was a serious acting achievement. After that year I dropped out and moved to another school where I was open with my stu...

Absolutely not, but I'd be lying if said I didn't have my fair share of doubts. I'm currently a pharmacist and you just imagine the crazy drug names that I can trip up on when I'm counselling patients...

This. You gotta own it, embrace it, and accept it. Without accepting your situation you will always be miserable and stressed. However if you learn to accept your Stutter it won't bother you anymore ...

Please don’t do that to yourself! The more you smolder your speech the worse it gets, Stutter as much as you can there’s nothing debilitating about it as long as you’re in peace with it. And keep in ...

If you run away from your stutter now, you’ll be running away from it forever. Confront your stutter and stop letting it make you feel so uncomfortable. It’s the way your body works and there’s nothin...

Nobody want's to do presentations - but they do it anyway. Why should it be any different for stutterers? Or let me rephrase it - How will you go about living your everyday life after school, if y...

Oh yeah, that's not what I meant at all. Just that if you're a stutterer and you're significantly proficient in a non-verbal expression (be it writing or music or otherwise), then it's very possible y...

Sure, but just so people don't get the idea that they ought to be better at writing, just because they stutter. There's already enough to worry about, so to say... :)...

> I haven't seen anything compelling yet with regards to the notion that our lacking in one area necessarily means proficiency in another. Obviously, not by default. However, it is pretty likely t...

>Instead, it'd probably be spread more evenly. (Of course, this is pure speculation). It's probably very likely that people who spend a lot of time doing something will be better at it than people...

There are tons of people out there witty with text and digital chatting who aren't as verbally spry irl. There's a world of difference between typing something in the comfort of our homes, with the ti...

The act of stuttering is *literally* the least of the average stutterer's problem. The biggest hurdle is learning to let go of some theoretical, idealized version of yourself, who is perfectly fluent,...

I know. Even when it comes to speaking by yourself, the stutter will still be there. But if we can achieve a level of comfort when we are around people (like how comfortable we are when we are alone),...

Even complete confidence and uncaring isn't enough to achieve total fluency for a stutterer. It will definitely raise fluency a lot, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't get rid of a stutter, like on a ...

I don't mean turn into a sociopath. Sociopaths don't feel anything. But don't you think we can reach a point where we no longer care about what other people think? I mean that in the literal sense. ...

Well, no. Because we can't just turn off all emotion and everything that makes us human. I mean, theoretically, if we dissociated hard enough that we cease seeing other people as other people, then ye...

I appreciate your attitude :) but we phrase things differently, you and I. Allow me to make a few remarks. - >be proud to be a stutterer I think I'd rather be proud of how I'm _dealing with_ my ...

I hear you. I also use those same techniques and I block more than I repeat. Sometimes doing voice impressions can help. I'm not sure but I think there's a psychological aspect to it. When you do a ...

Hey OP - I get it. I had a similar situation in my early/mid-teens. My sister was two years older and one of the more popular girls in high school (I was on the other end of the social scale) and I ...

OP, *this* is the answer. Go and order a bunch of food, face your dread, find out it's not so bad to stutter horribly, you will eventually stop dreading and gain your regular level of fluency. ...
