While it makes it a hella lot easier I dont like running away from my problems and taking the easy way out....

This is tough. I used to pick and choose my moments to chime in or wait until I got into flow state and express myself. Now I just kind of talk regardless and if it doesn't come out how I wanted to, I...

How do you compensate for your lack of self-expression through speech?

How do you compensate for your lack of self-expression through speech? With a limited ability to speak, how are you able to express yourself in other ways?...

It's a secondary stuttering behavior. Only works for those with a not too severe stuttering. It only feeds the fear of your real stutters so it's not adviced to do so....

For me it's because I don't feel pressure to be anything with her other than myself. I don't have to worry about her liking me. ...

Thanks for sharing! I have the same thing as you -- I'm most fluent when it's just me and my SO talking. ...

Don't hide. Don't diminish your hardship. Stutter is real and serious. Find the people who understand. At the very least, _we_ understand....

I like the story, but I do have some issues with the message, particularly the line "Recognize that there is nothing wrong with you: you have the ability to speak with fluency." Not everyone can be fl...

I see myself as being fairly smart, pretty fun to be around, but am very shy when I first meet people. It takes a little bit for me to get out of my shell and to be comfortable around others, but I'm ...

Been reading through everybody's answers. A wide variety of answers to say the least! There is one fundamental reason why I asked this question. I asked this because...the way you view yourself spea...

Always good to be empathetic and be able to talk about lots of things - we need more people like that! ...

I see myself as a woman who is smart (in a normal way) Who is fun to hang around with, haha. Who is emphatic. And a woman who talks very easy about looooots of stuff :) ...

Very happy with myself, proud of the person I am and how I've developed. Don't think I'm perfect or anyone is. I'm not very outgoing, but I'm polite and friendly. I'm patient and don't get angry. Pas...

I see myself as a guy who is smart (relatively ofcourse) and inherently outgoing and funny but unable due to my stutter. I do have positive qualities but those are outclassed by my stutter in my head,...

Sorry to hear that happened. Next time, should you pause, BREATHE. It's normal to forget about your breathing when talking on the phone but be conscious of it. Use fewer words in a sentence too if n...

I don't have any suggestions for how your daughter can improve her speech, as nothing has worked on me so far. But as a parent, you can instill confidence in her and her speech and her ability to take...

for me I only bring up the fact that I stutter if someone comments on it or imitates it or sometimes even ask "are you OK?" or they'll sometimes think Im drunk lol, then I'll just tell them "No, I'm f...

>Ever since, I've never brought it up and talk as little as possible. Of course that's what this would make most of us want to do. But....well, it sounds like maybe you already know it's leading ...

OP: Yea definitely stop apologizing. Joining a frat worked for me in making tons of friends. Also it will help you stop taking stuttering so seriously....

Don't apologize. There's no reason for it. Yes you have a Stutter but it doesn't define you. I bet there's more to you then just a speech impediment. Joining social clubs in college is pretty ballsy...
