This is a beautiful take, however I must say this. As stutterers, we ourselves want to get more fluent at speaking because it can increase our opportunities in life. For example, Joe Biden is POTUS, a...

I’m going through the McGuire Program and done a lot of work on my feared/struggled letters. So made a lot of progress. Now the sounds I still have to work on are sounds from Japanese and Spanish. B...

It made me focus on my speech and now I am 99% fluent and looking at sales/management positions. It helped me realize that everyone makes small mistakes once in a while and they aren't a big deal....

Please don’t do it. I felt this way in college where I even didn’t do my presentation for my English class and ended up with a C and was happy with it. The next English class I took, I was forced to d...

Yeah it’s a well known fact that actually drove me crazy for a while too to be honest. But that’s why that condition is such an enigma. But don’t let it consume you, try to figure out when you stutter...

Should I ask my doc to see a specialist?

Should I ask my doc to see a specialist? Hi everyone! I am 28 now and I’ve always had difficulty speaking (stutter and feel a block) when I feel excited about something or when I’m trying to explain ...

And married the best one 😁. It got a lot easier with practice. In one sense - it made me better. As much as I could, I would structure engagements with as much Q&A time as possible. For some r...

You're young. Having a stutter is hard, but it's the WORST at your age. You have a right to feel the way you do. It's a hard way to come up. I've also had a stutter since I was a kid (the only one...

I’m 45 with a moderate to severe stutter. I have a difficult relationship with it. On the plus side - Had a great social life, went to law school, actually had a run as a d-list politician and had t...

I am 51. When I was a child, I had a terrible stutter. I was ridiculed and bullied because of it. But my school assigned me an excellent speech therapist, and my speech greatly improved. Now when I ...

Hopefully you get a lot of responses, but also that they frame their experience on the severity of their disfluency. The spectrum is very wide and makes it quite difficult to compare....

I recently had a meltdown in front of the class during a 5 mins presentation (heavy stutter, weak voice and trembling you name it). Unfortunately I have to take another class with the same proff and l...

I hope it goes well for you! I had a college interview and saying it was a train wreck would be an underestimation...

I have a PhD in physics and I stutter. There are two other senior professors where I work who also stutter. You learn to deal with it. People don’t mind as much as you think they do. Hang in the...

Hey! My results dropped in. I wasn’t expecting it but I actually got a 7 in speaking😂 and overall score of 7.5....

I actually went to grade school with a girl who had a much worse stutter than me, so I think it's more common than we know. I still have some "fears" about cold phone calls and things like that. H...

It sounds like you have a mild stutter like me. I'm so sorry for the trauma you faced and that will make dating very hard going forward, believe me. I started online dating almost a year ago now and w...

Somewhat tangential but I’ve always been annoyed with people saying that stutterers talk too fast or think too fast because the first one is not true for a lot of us and is basically rationalizing our...

I don't think its disrespectful. But stuttering ~10 times on purpose its one thing. Stuttering ~100 times a day for 40 years its another. Like holding a glass of water for one hour or holding it f...

That's good, mate. I'm not as good at hiding it, although it's better than it was when I was a kid. I don't prolong sounds. I'm not sure which affliction I'd prefer....
