Just a reminder . . .

Just a reminder . . . . . . that although Joe Biden stuttered, everyone in r/pics still thinks [he was totally hot] (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/5cgo2z/young_biden_looks_like_hed_steal_your...

This is a *lot* easier said than done, but actually what helped me is forgetting about it. I've only ever achieved fluency on little occasions at a time, and then somebody's pointed it out to me and I...

Today i applied for a PhD scholarship without even thinking about my stutter related to teaching. Just wanted someone to share with Im a pretty heavy stutterer. Have done some McGuire things but its n...

It's tricky. You're focusing on not focusing on your speech. I think the issue lies in the fact that there is a need to "focus". There is effort being put in in some form. Whenever there is added...

When you do hours of research like I do, you realise certain things keep coming up. As I said, the things that helped me were under a different term than "overcoming stuttering". What happened was I...

Thanks for the thoughts again. I pointed out the coddling in my reply here, but I will clarify I'm not under the impression that was what held me back. It was 100% me. I agree it's not as simple as ...

Stuttering and Victim Mentality

Stuttering and Victim Mentality Hi all, I made a video about the unfortunate trend I see of some stutterers living in a victim mentality, just as I used to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFOIZkh4bV...

You're going to act your way into better thinking before you think your way into better acting. You don't just choose to take ownership like it's a choice....

Seconded. Take ownership of your stuttering. You do not have to be a victim. The victim mentality is a defeatist mindset. I'm not saying you can flick a switch overnight...but you need to start traini...

> To that end, find a speech therapist, practice techniques, practice breathing, and keep talking. Our stutter doesn't control us, that's bullshit. We control it, we control how we respond to it. I...

So I'm going to echo what I'm sure you've heard 100's of times before, but with a slight twist. You need to stop worrying about it so much. I understand this is really, really hard. I understand it ...

I successfully called my doctor by phone for a meeting

I successfully called my doctor by phone for a meeting I'm 15 and never called my doctor, my mom used to do it for me. But today, I don't know what happened but I wanted to call him myself So I calle...

This is a defeatist attitude and victim mentality. The hard truth is thinking like this will get you nowhere. You aren't worse off than anybody else. You're simply making excuses for yourself. I had t...

People always told me that my stutter wasn't noticeable but I literally blamed every social interaction that didn't go as I expected it to, on my stutter. "That was so awkward, she probably thought I ...

I got a job working on national television It's not a glamorous position at all (one of those 24/hr sales networks where you can buy knives and coins and shit), but I'll be speaking for up to four ho...

You can speak.If you believe that you literally cannot speak you won't be able to speak. There is a pretty good hypnosis video on YouTube give it shot it can't hurt it's a pretty chill experience. Har...

Honestly dude, we place too many expectations upon ourselves! When you place your mindset on your stutter you forget to have fun. To dip your toes into unfamiliar territory and focusing on relaxing in...

All of which goes back to being the best version of yourself. You know my views on that already since we've spoken about this. Anyway, I've said everything I need to. :-) ...

It's a blanket statement dude. It's heard in business, sport, self development etc. There's truth to it. Again, please answer for yourself instead of worrying what the community thinks. We'll hear fro...

Dude, stop talking on behalf of other people. If you dislike what he's said because it doesn't work for you then say so! I love your idea of community but it's not much of a community if, as OP has sa...
