For most of those who overcame stuttering, the beginning of recovery was not accepting their condition and progressing towards fluency....

As someone who spent the first \~25 years of my life as a severe stutterer, and achieved fluency in my mid/late 20s, I disagree. If one desires fluency, one should work towards fluency. If one desir...

Don’t chase fluency. Stuttering will only stop torturing you when you accept that it’s how you talk and relax about it. It’s amazing how acceptance and relaxation solves a lot of problems you thought ...

I'm trying my best, and I've put in the effort before with no luck. Now I'm at it again, and I really hope this time it works out for me....

I love this! I’m a dental hygienist and have a wonderful career while having a stutter. In my operatory i have a cute sign that says, “I stutter, please be patient.” None of my patients, doctors, or o...

Yeah I agree (with your last sentence). This post was kind of ironic/ acting tough. Not actually saying stuttering is a good thing. But, since we’re stuck with it, we might as well make the best of it...

This is pretty smart. Embrace the stutter and dont try to avoid it, work with it Rhythm when talking is very important, you control it. Thanks for sharing...

I thought about that a lot, my stutter protected me In a way, I can be very talkative even with my stutter I yap too much, miss perspectives, say the wrong things, etc. Without the brakes of my stutte...

You need to be getting used to speaking around people, not just speaking to yourself. Stuttering (at least imo) is caused because the brain it trying to concentrate on too much st once - body language...

Easy, work on your confidence! What are you good at?? What do you like to do?? Start with that and become very good at it. Then become the best at it. People will notice you and start new friends. ...

He has a point imo. Although I get it may come over as thoughtless. I had times in my life when I didn't stutter and I had probably just as many embarrassing moments due to the things I said without t...

I'm 54. At 20 ish years of age I met a psychologist who told me: you will always stutter, make it your signature, part of your image, be proud that you're different. I thought he was nuts. Neverthele...

I love hearing these stories! Amazing job and attitude! I agree that putting yourself out there is the best way, but I’d add that it shouldn’t be traumatic and all attempts must be seen as exposure ex...

Talk as if you expect to stutter

Talk as if you expect to stutter Most of us talk as if we expect (and hope) to be fluent. This is how most people talk, because most people are fluent, and we copy how most people talk. So then when w...

Yes, my speech got significantly better when I stopped thinking about it at all, stopped stressing about it, just accepted that I stutter and that’s how it’s going to be. I let go of the hope of fluen...

Maybe when you totally give up is when things actually turn around for you. You can’t change it, you can’t fight it…. So just stop trying. Now that you’ve accepted it, you might as well go out in the ...

Yeah, and? Will it stop you? Speech impediment is gonna stop you?  You can do this. Workout like a madman. Smash your school/studies. Fluency is not everything. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what? I'm ...

No it’s not the truth, the truth is when you can prove such a claim. This is just your belief....

I stutter too and I have a great job. I talk to people all day and yes there's some times where I have to repeat myself or talk slower but you know what? That's okay. I no longer allowed stuttering to...

This post is coming out of a black, depressed mindset and doesn’t have much to do with stuttering per se. I mean of course stuttering can cause these feelings, but so can lots of other things, and it’...
