Hey, times can be hard, please keep your head up. You're not alone. Let's brainstorm some ways we can get you out of this lonely rut (I feel I may have some suggestions for you) Shoot me a mssg an...

I felt like that at one point that I should just stop talking all together and learn sign language and call it quits. It can be hard being a person that stutters there are times like you said when you...

I feel same. At least, we have this community which can understand stutters like us. Because according to my experience, normal (non-stutter) people just say "speak slowly, speak clearly, don't hurry"...

I literally just finished listening to one of your podcast and it was amazing! Listening to your story I felt every experience you had and I thank you for what you do you have no clue how much your po...

Growing up I thought I was the only one who stuttered until I met another PWS at age 20. It's very sad growing up alone, eating your school lunch in the janitors closet. I never knew how to make f...

We’ve got you OP. My DMs are open if you ever need to vent. Keep your head up and take care of yourself!...

I also felt that like that person. Kid with a stutter (which I tried to hide), coupled with other physical traits that weren’t the norm did not make a good combination. But I reached the stage where I...

Reading out loud in my room helped me a ton when I was younger. In time most stutterers get better at speaking. Another tip is to surround yourself with friends that don’t mind your speech....

It’s the best. I wish I had discovered Reddit sooner for this reason alone. It’s also great being in a community that can 100% relate to my constant struggles....

Give yourself 4 gold stars (1 per presentation and 1 for the time frame) and remind yourself of this the next time you feel intimidated due to your speech!...

Welcome! I think both me and my twin brother (who also stutters) have only randomly met maybe one, two other stutters in life so it's great that this sub exists....

Everything you mentioned is great advice and so informative. thanks for sharing. All of these replies has made me excited to get into seeing him in person more after his exams, and with what you men...

As a person who’s been stammering since a child I think the best thing you can do is getting him used to expressing his feelings about his stammer and normalising talking about it. Maybe sit him down ...

Although it sucks class didn’t turn out as you expected, I think I can at least say this subreddit is super proud of you. Just shrug it off if you can and move on. Seems it’s all we can do atm....

Normalize non fluent speech, otherwise he will start to think that there is something wrong with him, then everytime he speaks he will think he will stutter, causing him fear and anxiety. The best w...

I can relate. Sometimes bad experiences like this one really help you down the line. It may take time to heal, but you will learn from this. Give yourself the time and space to be emotional, and the t...

Like everyone else says, I think you are a great sister for being there for him. Or brother, not sure if you specified. Anyways, I think the most fundamental thing you can do to help him, for *start...

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. It’s such a relief to hear that there’s a general consensus around support groups and finding the right kind of company. Human connections are so invaluable...

Back when I was 10 or so, someone told me my brain knew what it wanted to say, but my mouth just couldn't keep up. Took me a while, but that's the best description I've found....
