You sound like you’re doing it right in terms of dealing with it. Yeah it can be really effortful. You might want to make a post asking that. Personally when I first got speech therapy and was taught...

We understand that. I know I still do. Their is definitely a mental and social aspect to stuttering and talking. For me it was about social anxiety, wanting to be able to communicate "like normal",...

Hey mate, you seem like you're definitely over-thinking your situation. Try and remember that it is always *many* times worse in your head than how people perceive it. I used to have a moderate s-s-st...

It's awkward regardless. Stutter is just an aspect. Don't try to hide - from yourself....

To disclose or not to disclose

To disclose or not to disclose Hello fellas, Recently I have been pondering about this. I apologize that this might be a long one, but hopefully people who come across this can give me insights. Ba...

it's a bad habit because it reinforces a fear of stuttering and avoidance. Plus there are some words you cant avoid so you don't want to become dependent on escaping. Escaping isn't good and won't hel...

It's funny because I actually do have a great personality and when I am out with others, I tell them that I don't care what others think. I even offer this advice to people who ask me for advice with ...

>Directed towards those who have adapted the mindset of not giving a fuck and if your going to stutter, so what. It is who you are. I ask again, HOW DID YOU DO IT? My desire to express myself and ...

Hm, it seems to me you're not going about this in an entirely fruitful way. But first off, let me say that I think you're on your way there. Especially with the steps you've taken to seek out help fo...

I used to work a lot on my speech to make folk comfortable- including myself. But when I realised that my problem with my speech was that I had internalised all these negative things about speaking sl...

Agreed. I’d much rather save my energy- both physical and mental- for those genuinely interested in what I have to say, Stutter or not. ...

Very well said, nuke! You always have a great way of wording things. >I don't have the resources to also care about them, since I'm already very involved in speaking. Exactly my feelings. This is...

Agreed. I don't care about others like that - really, I don't have the resources to _also_ care about them, since I'm already very involved in speaking. Of course, we could talk about indirect goals,...

>“For years we have gone to speech therapy to change the way we speak to make it more comfortable for others. Can't speak for everyone, but that was never my motivation for going to speech therapy...

My experiences during stutter therapy

My experiences during stutter therapy #1 Introduction First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a 27 year old student, hopfully finishing my masters soon. Studying engineering, I often need very...

I can tell you my life changed once I stopped letting my speech control what I do. Be honest with people and show them your speech doesn't bug you, and it won't bug them-- if you want to, give them a ...

You can struggle without showing disfluency. This is what happens to covert stutters who hide their stuttering. On the outside they pass for fluent but on the inside it's a nonstop tumult of anxiety a...

You should try it out! Definitely experimenting with self-advertisement is a good thing to do. I usually do not self-advertise unless the person asks me about it, but I know people that do and they ...

Love it. It's a perfect representation of what we all go through. Saying a common, boring everyday word is a performance sometimes. Thanks for this. Going to say it with people I know....

I'd like to see a website that regards stuttering for what it is --a problem, a pain-in-the-ass issue, a drag on potential. There are many social media accounts by PWS that just kill me with all the p...
