You should know all of this is completely normal. Most stutterers have physical manifestations, and eyes closing/twitching is probably the most common. I agree with natabean that disclosing your stutt...

I really agree. I actually [just posted about something similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/8kkw7j/my_strategy_ive_been_using_for_quite_some_time/) before seeing your post. You just got...

I’m about ten years older than you, but your story is very similar to mine. I’d love to tell you that there’s always the chance that you will somehow cure your stutter down the road, but realistically...

I feel the same way, but I don't think I'd be helping you by writing out my commiserations. I think it will be most productive for you to adopt the mindset that it is yourself rather than your stutter...

Hello! The course is in the idea stage right now. I'm trying to figure out some things that people specifically want to know so that the course can be as helpful as can be! That's what brought me to ...

Different people have different views about blocks. Some people view them as an avoidance behavior, not one we do consciously, but one that we have become conditioned to do. We are trying to avoid stu...

Very good! Edit: I like how it represents a certain mindset very common among us stutterers \- that life, and especially situations like ordering food \- are analogous to some kind of graded/evaluate...

So glad I'm not alone on this. I'm trying to own my stutter and not care, but it's a mindset that I'm so far away from. ...

My advice would be use it as an opportunity to practice and overcome the mental barrier of the stutter ...

Download a DAF (Delayed Audio Feedback) app for your phone for around $20 and try it out with bluetooth headphones to test it out. There's absolutely no reason to spend $5k on such a device. DAF devi...

Actually I reasonate with what he said in the podcast. He said that he basically changed his subconcious by repeating 'stop stuttering now' whilst taking the shrooms which I guess helped him access hi...

i hear ya, i used to feel that way. to be honest, i think worrying about stuttering in front of other people hindered me from getting into a good relationship for far too long (i've been married now f...

>On some level, it feels weird to be opening up to a new person about this in a way I've never been able to bring myself to with any of the people I already know. I feel like this is the core part...

This. I have everything I hoped to have as an adult. College degree, degree relevant job, house, GF, friends. I consider myself to have a severe stutter but I never let it stop me from living life. ...

Super introvert. Can't come up with topics of chat or hold a conversation. I will not butt into another conversation no matter how much I can contribute to the discussion. I just want to be left alone...

It's because speaking is fickle when you have a stutter. You mustn't think it's because of something you're doing wrong. :) I reckon you'll also encounter situations where the word worked in the begi...

No idea how universal this experience is, but for me, a large part of my anxiety and avoidance was due to my fear of a bad speaking situation. Being judged. Being counterproductive. Having someone lau...

Stuttering really needs to be approached holistically. For people who don't stutter when they are by themselves, the issue with stutter comes down to tension from anxiety in social situations and the...

Yeah, I am a lifelong stutterer. 40 years old. Have done everything except for any mechanical devices that go in the ear. I just refuse those. I can keep it to a minimum if I sleep right, train right,...

Speech therapy, reading out loud, meeting other stutterers, exercising, or anything that helps with confidence. Hitting the gym or a stepping up the wardrobe, for instance. Everyone is different. On...
