I sometimes say just "Mam" and people around me keep wondering why I do that :). Thank you for the advice. I'll work on creating positive memories....

I am a moderate to mild stutter but more on the moderate side. I think this isn't so much of low confidence (which obv still needs to be worked on) but having negative anticipation and menfisiting t...

Yes cuz your stutter is long gone but your stuttering mentality is still there. Think about it...

I’m going into my junior year and my stutter has improved significantly since entering freshman year. My advice for you is to just go for it. You have to accept that you will block and stutter but tha...

I worked harder in college (eventually) because of my stutter. Over compensated, overachieved is the term, I think. It helped a lot. Be practical about your education. Unless you are absolutely passio...

Whatever works for you, but i find the last box confusing. In general, I prefer straight forward speaking. Is an ableist a person who does not stutter, or an a-hole who mocks stutterers?...

No, don't backtrack because you're absolutely right. We do sound like retards and once you get a good grasp of what people think of you and your stutter life just feels 100x harder....

Yes bro preach. This is what I try to say, my fluency has literally done a 180 since I’ve worked on my confidence and become a disciplined and stronger person that faces my fear everyday. This is a...

Thank you for your story. "Be cocky, like not confident, but cocky, like in your head." Cockiness is about being confident, though. How do you define this cockiness then? I view it as overly or beyo...

I’ve been kind of free associating in my responses, seeing where the ideas led. I like where they led. I am not angry, except at first when your advice sounded like some internet surfer dropping in tr...

I think you should read this.

I think you should read this. I watched a movie with a guy that had Tourettes Syndrome, that wanted to be a teacher. True story based on a real person. There is a scene where the young kid with Toure...

Yes 😭 I used to use a different name in starbucks and would avoid meeting new people. I've had people laugh and say things like 'did you forget your name?' as they don't realise that I have a stutter...

For me personally, once I stopped caring what people thought of my stutter and started showing people the real me they didn’t care. I have a good circle of friends, some recent and some built on years...

I always heard the same thing, and I use to stutter alone, and it was very defeating hearing others did not. I feel there are two parts to stuttering, the internal and the external. I always felt when...

I am 45 and know stuttering weighed me down the past 4 decades. Couldn't date till I was 24 and stayed away from relationships I really desired for fear I would be rejected. I'm married now to a grea...

I feel that the experience between men and women are a bit different. Men are expected to be more confident and to be assertive when they talk. Stuttering (in my culture at-least) is a sign of weakn...

You’re 20x more wise than another. Not prideful as we all know but it takes our true pure self to say anything. At times a true handicap at times a moment of victory. My advice is stop worrying about ...

I haven't had any issues making friends. I currently have only one really good friend but that's cause I drift away from people when I get busy so that's on me and not the stutter. Relationship wise ...

I'm 25 and I've been in two serious relationships. Had my first love at 15 (lasted 1 and a half years) and my second love at 20 (lasted almost 4 years). What I learned is that the more I'm afraid of s...
