I'm not going to have my speech impediment hold me back from socialization, even if it hurts my ego. I wouldn't feel right if I were to have a text-to-speech program read off what I wanted to say. If ...

I definitely don't feel like this is a truck or a technique. I've had speech therapy before where I got techniques to try, like extreme prolongations or starting my sentence on an out breath. These t...

Staring and observing: practical tips for combating your stutter Hello everyone, I would like to share with you all a technique I found extremely effective to help me with my stutter. I noticed duri...

That’s because when you read you are kind of acting. When I’m acting I stutter less. It’s not about you. You take the pressure out. You don’t have yourself on the way....

I learnt how to remain calm and control my emotions and it made a huge difference. I worked in a software company for almost 2 years and my job was to lead software development and handle all the tech...

Do you write or draw or paint. Maybe you can show them what your experience is in a way other then speaking. ...

I used to be pretty covert but I'm kind of getting tired of it and getting more comfortable with my stutter so I'm trying to do the first case and be alright with my stutter as much as possible!...

Theoretically, the first one is the better choice. It helps you to feel comfortable with your stutter thus making you more confident which does wonders for your stutter. Emphasis on 'theoretically' t...

I usually (not always tho) do the first one with people that know that I stutter (which are my parents, my bro and some very close friends) but I pratically always do the second one with people that d...

Update: It went pretty well, actually. Her family is really nice and understanding. Her niece and nephew pointed out my stutter, but they’re really little so it was kind of cute. The only person who d...

You just be you, Theres one thing you have to do though, and that's standing up as you shake someones hand, never sit down in a sofa and reach for a hand etc. You can be pretty quiet in this meeting...

Yeah I met my boyfriends parents and I was so nervous like hell I felt so ill and my anxiety levels were through the roof and I don't have anxiety! Just remember if you make your gf happy, they will m...

Hey, Do not think of that too much. Why should you impress them? You've already impressed her, so have fun and leave your anxiety alone....

I have been "cured" although it somehow feels odd to call it that. I stuttered severely as a child and seemed to just outgrow it as I grew out of my teens and into adulthood. Hard to say exactly ...

I’m a mom so not my personal experience. I haven’t seen a “cure” but I have seen people walking through their fears and finding freedom. Your stutter is a part of you, but there’s a hell of a lot mo...

There's no cures. There's different treatments that work depending on the type of person. Personally, my cure is to reduce my social anxiety and that's by going out and talking to people. Gaining conf...

This is true for me as well. I think it's to do with a couple things. The flow of consciousness that pours out when your angry, there's little time for thought about what you're going to say, *it just...
