You are absolutely correct. Except I was not able to continue stuttering due to my feelings of shame and embarrassment. I chose to become one of them by becoming fluent....

The fact that you’ve done this job successfully for two years shows that your stuttering doesn’t define your ability to connect with callers. Focus on communication rather than fluency — people care f...

I feel everything you just said PERFECTLY. I couldn’t have described it better. Just one thing: you have to talk more openly about your stutter and risk the harmless jokes. I mean it. It is a vicious...

well, ur never gonna stop stuttering with that mentality.I've lived this year just like you. I had no friends, and no one in my class knew I stuttered, simply because I barely spoke, and when I did, i...

when you disclose stuttering and then don’t stutter at all

when you disclose stuttering and then don’t stutter at all This is just funny. Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes I do like to explain at the start of a conversation that I stutter, but then a...

Hey.. You are being really hard on yourself. I stutter too, for example I get really nervous introducing myself to strangers… I used to hate it and tried to hide it too, but it didn’t really solve any...

Do what works for you. Personally, and with the guidance of my speech therapist, I have brought it up. I usually start my introducing myself then mention I stammer to avoid any awkwardness. After tha...

Has anybody else gone from overt to covert?

Has anybody else gone from overt to covert? In the past year or so, I have really improved a lot. Before, I used to really struggle in basically any interaction and would often get absurdly long block...

It makes me less extroverted than I'd normally be, but it hasn't impacted my dating life that much since I usually date introverted girls that I meet in quiet environments. I feel it limits me a lot...

Exactly! Show you’re not ashamed by it. I’d assume that comment is from ignorance rather than malice. If you’re a naturally fast speaker (like me, I’m Scottish) then you rushing to finish the senten...

Hmm this here: "My current team are also very supportive, they understand that I have stuttering however they don't count me in while speaking to the client or presentation or something which I agree ...

Most important tip that I wish I could tell my younger self: if you stutter when speaking, don’t let go, and continue as if nothing happened. Continue doing this until your brain stops caring. This ...

Ok I see. Maybe you've reached a breaking point. I've also had this since a child (developmental stuttering) and I think every so often there comes a time when you reach a point where you can't take i...

I relate to you very well. I used to try and control it and get upset if it got worse on certain days, but after a while I just learned to let go more and to speak with a stutter anyways. Letting go a...

For me I have totally accepted I'm in speaking-wise, handicapped. So I tend to let others see me in that way, with no misunderstanding. I am not normal, I have a condition that cripples my speech and ...

Yeah 100% the more thought the worse I am. If I’m yapping with friends they don’t even notice. For years I kept a lot to myself they never even knew I had this. I think if my work colleagues and my f...

I've had dreams I dont stutter but never had a dream stuttering its crazy. I must be imagining my life without a stutter....

Does your stutter affect your dreams too? Or is it just me?

Does your stutter affect your dreams too? Or is it just me? I was dreaming... just a random dream where I was talking to someone. And even in my dream, I was stuttering. That moment hit me hard — bec...
