Good on you! I agree 100%. Acceptance is the first step, followed by action to make your life easier living with an incurable (for now) impediment. Start learning and practicing fluency shaping techn...

I’ve decided to live with my stutter in order to heal from it.

I’ve decided to live with my stutter in order to heal from it. Hi, I hope you’re all doing well and holding on, I’m going to talk a lot, but it’s worth it, trust me read it 😂 It’s been 1 month and 1 ...

This will always keep me from reaching true happiness

This will always keep me from reaching true happiness On paper my life looks decent. I'm in my early 20s and by god's grace, I have a full-time job as a Security Consultant. where I speak with a lot o...

I do, but then mine started out of the blue late in life, so everyone was very concerned. Today was a bad day, so we spoke about why I might be stuttering today. They hugged me, and we laughed while t...

I think that’s a good decision. It’s important to do what you feel is best for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. By the way, I am just curious, though, why you are so insistent on speaking. If p...

Neither. I’d rather speak whether Im struggling or not. No person or situation will take my determination to speak away from me....

My first year of college I experienced so much of the same thing. You are not alone in what you are feeling. I could barely say a word to anyone, I never spoke in class, and I felt really alone. Thr...

I know that feeling well. But the only thing that helps is to shift your perspective on control: you don’t fully control your speech, but you control your attitude towards it: A good quote from „The ...

I did start reading out loud again yesterday as I have found that does help. Admittedly, I’m not the best with continuous practice and it’s something I need to do a better job at. I’ve always just l...

The same thing happened to me. My son is 17 now and started stuttering when he was about three years old. Like you I was heart broken. And saw my difficult childhood being replayed live through my son...

You are on the right track. Go deep within. Those who suffer most when they are young. Grow the most in old age. Think of the infinite universe. you are but a spec in a never ending sea of stars. How ...

Guys you need to quit the wishful thinking. A kid in a wheel chair can’t magically walk and you will never magically talk. I have had a stammer since I was 4-5 years old and used to block so bad I’d a...

Text, Text=real me Stammering=I don't know that person. It's not me and never will....

I've heard it before, not always, but some do say it, or imply it when I take issue with how they are treating me. At 54, I don't put up with much when it comes to my stuttering....

During a job interview, the hiring panel just told me not to worry and to just take my time. I felt so much at ease. I got the job....

i was in the exact same boat coming to college and let me just say — the kind people will never care, and there are kind people at every college. in the nicest way possible: take the risk, even if it ...

I think that the word "concerned" makes it sound like someone being a person who stutters is a bad thing. I have a husband and two kids who stutter- when my kids started stuttering, I was worried th...

I was about to go on the bus. I was ordering my ticket and I was stuttering a lot. The bus driver looked at me and smiled and said you speak beautifully....

I don't have kids, but my mother has told me multiple times how she went through exactly what you're going through. Living with a stutter is tough, but if it truly is a stutter, it's not like taking...

I really think we stutteres need to give less of a fuck. No need to fit in. Do what you do and take minutes or longer to say what you want to say. Be open about the fact that you stutter and that’s it...
