Have you even gone to a speech group? Like a therapy thing? There are always people worse than you. It's all about not caring. Sounds stupid. Sometimes I catch myself trying to hide the stutter. This ...

If you're practicing trying to be fluent, i'm not sure that's only to be helpful in the moment. I instead practice reducing tricks, avoidances, and trying to let myself show stuttering instead of tryi...

Sure, wouldn't recommend it to 'normal' people though. Must be a little eroding as to one's identity, never saying 'I', that is. ...

This is amazing. This states everything so elegantly in a brutually honest manner. I am always stiff, I always try to quickly talk and as a result get asked to dreadfully repeat myself. The social axi...

Would it help if I prefaced with "In my experience"? Because that's all it is. I'm not stating it as a rule or nothing. But growing up in East Texas and not having an interest in hunting or sports, I ...

Can you elaborate what you mean by that? Stuttering comes from the mind though; it's been seen as a neurological "condition". Yet we have both physical and psychological obstacles with it. Sucks to he...

Was your severe stutter physical or psychological? I know many stutterers who work their ass off, push their comfortzone and still get nowhere cause they keep relapsing....

Btw, I'm really tired so apologies if this comes off more harshly than intended. I know where you're getting at with this. Truth is I've had a severe stutter as a child and teenager. You do not want...

I didnt know you were covert, so I can understand how incredibly hard that must be. All I can say is, go for it because regardless of the outcome, you've already made the right choice. You don't want...

Must be a bit like when we're able to avoid stuttering if we know we're putting on a performance. Not saying we all can do that, though. But it's a known thing....

Valid points you make. Good to hear your perspective on this. Honestly speaking, if anybody feels shame/guilt then that's their own issue to deal with. We're responsible for our own actions only. Wh...

Thanks for you reply - and thanks for sharing your experience! >Do you genuinely want to be explicit about it by the way? Do you feel like you really want to tell people that you have a stutter? ...

Honestly, I never really had that much problems with being explicit about my stuttering. I just casually mentioned to people I have a stutter and they shouldn't feel awkward around me. Just make sure ...

I understand why this may be true, but not talking about it, at least from my experience, only makes it worse....

My mind is now thinking that I'm offended by you saying this. I, and many others live perfectly NORMAL lifestyles with our stutter. I'll go into some more detail. This also occured with me when I was...

Hey man, it's a tough situation to be in. I'd never deny that. We've all gone through spans like this in our lives, and the major reason we do this is because we believe we can somehow cure our stutt...

Hey. Just joined the wonderful world of Reddit and was so ecstatic to find this sub. My story. I'm 29 years old, and I've been a covert stutterer ever since I can remember. When I first realised I had...

Sounds like perhaps there's a lack of trust in oneself? Most of us can blink, breathe or walk down the street perfectly fine without thinking twice about it, and whether or not we're paying close at...

On the first day of my new job I stood up in front of about 40 people, introducing myself. I didn't notice I wasn't stuttering until I sat down, which is prolly the reason I didn't. I noticed if I don...

Your stutter didn't ruin your relationship--you did, by not being honest and open or willing to really try. Do *not* blame your stutter for that. That is all you. The sooner you accept that accountabi...
