Yeah, you're describing something very similar to Dean Williams's therapy for children, the Normal Talking model. Basically learning that stuttering is a behavior we do. While the behavior of stutteri...

Our stutter isn't, but how we react to it is in our head. How we develop our mind around our stutter definitely is....

It was mostly practicing over and over again with confidence that 'cured' me, yes. Don't give up and lose hope, keep going. The next time you're talking to someone or a group of people and you have to...

I have felt precisely the same. I realized the problem was my mentality, not the stuttering. Hate the player, not the game. The world's not stopping you, you're only stopping yourself. Etc. ...

I'm gonna come across as a complete jerk but this is just my ''theory'': Alot of people in the stuttering community (and this sub in particular) like to blame their stuttering on external things, gen...

Huh. Elaborate on that, I hold sort of similar beliefs. So your saying that there might not be a hidden problem except for our own thoughts and intrusiond that then somehow over a long period of time ...

He didn't think about beating it, he just wanted to act. He concentrated on other parts of his life. That's the difference. Beating it wasn't a big deal for him, acting was....

Exactly, he beat it. You know how he didn't beat it? By having the same attitude as you. He went out there and tried to act even with a very severe stutter. He didn't dwell on it, he did something abo...

If it's such a big deal, make your life NOT revolve around how you present yourself. If you're answer to that is "Oh, I wont be happy" well the truth is you wont be happy drilling yourself in the head...

I've thought exactly like you in the past. You have already identified your problem - negativity - which is a huge step. Over several years, and it's a constant thing even now just like brushing my ...

This comment in particular is the one I was referencing: https://www.reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/5f51rq/i_am_a_loser_i_just_cant_break_this_cycle/dahnqct/ I didn't see the one suggesting deaf women,...

I think we've all been there. I would suggest it is entirely a mental game, though. If you perceive yourself as a victim or as less than others, you're creating your own reality. Easier said than done...

In real life it feels just good. The 'not alone' feelings. And that's good. But for me it's hard to watch woman stutter on YouTube. Bc I 'see myself', and I hate that. Weird, bc in real life I don...

You described what I always considered to be my stutter, hm. ...

It's interesting but obviously I have no scientific evidence for it. It's just something I have noticed in my own life. I genuinely doubt I'd be thinking as much as I'm doing now if I spoke fluently....

You can definitely work in journalism, my friend! My only skills in school were in English, and at your age I took physics and chemistry in high school instead of advanced English purely because I d...

>being fluent This shouldn't be the goal. You should practice _managing_ your stutter. That's the main thing! Whether you'll be fluent eventually is secondary to this....

Nope. I told myself a long time ago "Fuck it." I don't care when I stutter. I won't let it interfere with my life and prevent me from doing daily activities. I don't let it get to me anymore. ...

Hmm, I prefer getting out the words I intended. I try not to avoid/substitute too much. But you're right, it still requires an effort regardless....

Do you personally? I remember myself hiding my stutter and being ''100% fluent'' during a convo but still feeling like shit/toxic afterwards....
