It really helped my mindset of not giving a fuck. And, while that's sometimes a double edged sword, for the most part it just helps reduce the fear. ...

+1 ''The only real change comes from inside'' really applies here. I would recommend doing courses or trainings that focus on becoming a better communicator instead of curing stuttering since we all k...

This. It's difficult for others to pick on someone they perceive as more confident (& thus more dominant) than they are. So you stutter. I'm sure you're better than them in many ways other than ve...

This may come off as kind of rude, so I apologize in advance if it comes off that way. I feel like a more constructive direction you may want to consider is taking more responsibility for helping you...

Sounds like you've got the right attitude. I've made the mistake too and know the anxiety about phone calls. Good luck. Definitely a process and journey. ...

I've gotten better at it. I called in once and probably sounded fine to the host who picked up. I did it again a few days later and I just woke up and was hungover as fuck so I probably just sounded g...

This might not be applicable to you but I find that being anxious/nervous is what makes you an easy target so to speak, by projecting confidence and conveying that you simply do not care or are not sh...

I intended that saying as in terms of treatments. You will always have a baseline stutter unless new therapy comes out... Untill then, improving psychologically is the best thing you can do, as it is ...

Haha laugh man. I've been the guy that gets really defensive and all that does is let people look at you more as a target. Tons of people get shit everyday, especially men. It's not a big deal. ...

I read this post twice. I can say that this is one of finest post ever written here. I totally agree with you. "All of these are the symptoms of a strong emotion: a deeply rooted fear. The fear of wha...

True I guess you're right. I can control mine in certain situations so maybe they have done the same thing. If I'm having a really really good interaction, people don't usually know that I even have ...

I believe that this is the key to be happy in life. Stop fighting what you cannot change. Stop caring what the people think that never liked you in the first place....

I always smile and use hand movements. I think stuttering has made me more charismatic tbh...

I am currently at a point in my life where I came to the exact same realization and I have never felt happier in my life. I will further comment on your post when I have a little bit more time but for...

Very well said! A good way to get over your fear of stuttering in front of others is to voluntarily stutter during conversation. Yes that's right... voluntarily stutter. During a 2 week intensive st...

Confidence is a product of success, and success breeds more success. I've been teaching high school for 18 years with a moderate-to-severe stutter. That literally didn't happen over night, it's the re...

Exactly the realization I came to as well. When I stopped fighting stuttering, I found freedom....

Go for it. Throw yourself into the fire. It can't literally kill you. Take whatever burns you get. See what happens. Got one life to live. Do it for yourself....

Stuttering -- My personal approach

Stuttering -- My personal approach Let's say you stutter. Of course you do. What else made you decide to read this very text on stuttering? As a stutterer aged 24 who joined the fight against his pe...

Yep, I just went into with the mindset that it wasn't a factor & they would decide if I could do the job or not regardless of the fact that I have a stutter. Honestly it doesn't matter if you cho...
