If forgetting = not dwelling then I agree If forgetting = accepting your stutter as it is and never work on it i disagree ...

That's some great insight, I am also against dwelling on stutter afterwards, but what I meant by 'not forgetting stuttering' is that we should continue to work on it, change can't come on its own righ...

Oh, I don't think I've ever thought about it that way, that's interesting! So, when I want to say my name... my brain stutters -> so I don't speak -> so I can't stutter -> so I won't be made fun of! —...

Yes, I imagine that's fairly common. Conversely, I've also stubbornly pushed through speech blocks to say something difficult, only to realise afterwards that I shouldn't have said it because it was...

Like I said, I just stopped caring all together, whenever I want to talk or say a word that I feel I'll stutter on, I say it anyway but syllable by syllable, the perfect example is on the phone, I say...

I think "forgetting stuttering" is wrong sentence here because it seems like we are trying to avoid and run away from our stutter which would never go on itself unless we took an action i.e we should ...

Thanks so much for reaching out. Reading this post after about 7 weeks, I realized how down bad I was. Definitely feeling much better. One thing I didn’t mention in this post is that I just got out of...

Haha i always do it , and i feel like my brain is good at finding new subjects quickly and shifting the convo to avoid the stutter and the awkwardness...

>Do they know you stutter? They do now lol. I don't know what's wrong but my stuttering is multiplied in presentations and public speaking settings. In day to day I can mask it pretty well. I knew m...

I have laughed so hard about stuttering. What a great question. Are we talking about oral sex or mission style sex? Just a thought. Reminds me of two jokes… Husband and wife are having sex, husband...

Honestly I don't know what exactly triggered the improvement, the only changes I've been doing for the past months were: I was on finasteride(1mg) for hair loss, don't do this unless adviced to b...

I can relate w/ you. My name starts with a vowel and I usually struggle with vowels (the air doesn't come out sometimes). Like another person here commented, a workaround I found was appending my firs...

Please help!!!

Please help!!! I feel my stuttering has got worse the past two years. I started isolating myself and don’t like socialising anymore. Attending functions and introducing myself has become my most dread...

I recently went to three interviews. The first interview went horribly bad. The interviewee didn’t even look at me as I started to stutter and rejected me directly saying you have not prepared. The se...

If avoiding/switching words is one of your main block-escape strategies, any word you *cannot* switch will bring extra fear. Since blocking happens because of fear, saying our name becomes extra dif...

Used to do that allll the time, and because I rarely had repetitions, whenever I complained to anyone about my stutter, they had no idea what I was talking about. I’ve since learned habits that have...

story of my life omg. sacrificing what I want for something I can say, or if I’m only with my partner, just getting what he gets so he can just say “we’ll just have 2 ___”...

Oh my god, this!! I think I've actually developed a fear of sitting too far away from where the waiter would ask for our orders because if I'm close then I can just point at what I want on the menu wi...

Yes, absolutely. Especially when ordering food at a restaurant—I’d either order what I could pronounce or double on someone else’s order....

Have you ever said something you didn't mean at all?

Have you ever said something you didn't mean at all? Due to my stutter, I've often said/replied words that I never meant to say because my stutter would prevent me to say what I wanted. I used to just...
