Questions for stutterers and relevance to The Stutterer

Questions for stutterers and relevance to The Stutterer Hi, I am an undergraduate student tasked with the project to learn how a piece of film or literature that we studied is applicable to the real w...

I think that works -- it's really an issue that has no right solution or path, so you gotta find what works for you. I think generally being more open about it is better. Some people like to self-ad...

That's me all the way. I have a lot of big talk about being myself, but when time comes I revert to being quiet again. I gotta get out of that mindset. ...

I have had this feeling, too, that if I have a genuine or intimate conversation with someone that my stuttering seems to lessen. I guess the one thing is that I feel I can't really tap into that when ...

I've been there. I have a pretty severe stutter and a lot of secondaries but I'm still pushing through. I've isolated myself my for years and been through what felt like hell. Honestly, the stutter is...

Me too. I think it has to do with letting our guard down. But like the top comment says, stuttering is so varied. And when you start to say "I stutter more when X," it becomes sort of a self-fulfill...

Holy shit yes, me too. This is so interesting. Another thing is when I'm really into what it is I'm saying, and therefore likely speaking with little or no filter. I always tell myself I'm going to do...

Honestly? Didn't think much of it, was told that it sounded brilliantly so I decided to post it to see what you guys thought :). Stammering is simply one more thing in my life that I need to work wit...

I'm basically fluent when I show my real personality?

I'm basically fluent when I show my real personality? I've noticed for a while that when I show people the real me with no filter, my stutter decreases to nearly 0. I even tested it with Call Reps fro...

> Okay so here's a q - how do you accept it? Like what steps do I need to do? I hear all the time once you accept it, it's easier but how? Acceptance is a gradual process. It doesn't all happen a...

Partly opposite to me. Stutter has many types. :/ I'd stutter less in a group (who don't know I stutter). I stutter more with my family and on phone....

I guess with me it's like a subconscious self learned habit. When I really don't have to be fluent I'm not. Peak stuttering for me is in a relaxed conversation with a small group, and it's slightly le...

Same here. When I let my guard down - learned speech tools go out the window - with family or someone close - I stutter off the charts. Make me tense or put me in front of a group of ppl and I can pas...

I’ve definitely heard of this before. The parents supposed that their kids could “perform” with the pressure but didn’t want to do the mental gymnastics it takes to be fluent when they’re home and r...

Me too! How strange. I’ve said this since my childhood (in my late 20s now) and have had multiple speech therapists seem to not believe me when I told them. Put me in front of a class doing a pres...

Advertise to them that you stutter, then there's no pressure to rush. It's awkward at first, but once people know they won't ask or interuppt. If you're able to overcome your fear of stuttering it's v...

I've seen it posted on here before, and I don't know the steps needed to accomplish it, but honestly the only solution is to change your thinking about it. You're never going to stop stuttering (at le...

I think what slowly changed for me was realizing that what made this thing that I️ called my stutter so bad was how I️ was reacting to it. The stutter was always there and will always be there. I️ ca...

That's actually a really hard question for me to answer. I mean, I've stuttered for so many years (I'm 40 now), and I have no tracking of what I might have changed. I used to get more angry and sad, b...

That might feel weird, but it's SO much better than sort of pretending it's not there. It will break the ice. And the way you write it here is funny. Unless she's super self-conscious or has no sen...
