Thank you for sharing! And thank you for your optimism and letting me know about the pros of what stuttering can do in ones life!...

Yeah ok, I'm just so used to reddit being such a toxic place that I jump to conclusions pretty quickly....

I am aware, I wasn't downplaying his stutter or anything, I was kinda reassuring him that isn't that bad....

Your stutter ain't that bad, I'm surprised that it's a problem for you....

I hear that. Well, it sounds like she's already interested, so I'd share it whenever it feels right. It can be initially scary to open up to people, but if the people are cool, it can be rewarding. ...

Thank you for sharing your story and your experience! That is great advice. I have definitely been trying to improve her self confidence. She is very insecure and shy. I also want her to know tha...

I started stuttering in kindergarten. I went to speech therapy for a while and they said that it would eventually go away. Their tip for my mom was to never mention the stutter to me. My stutter was m...

That breaks my heart. Have you tried overcoming your fear and just being open about your stutter? I’m sure most kids your age is mature enough to be accepting of it and wouldn’t mock you. Are you...

I think what you describe are what we call "secondary behaviors" or something like that. They often become part of the stutter, sort of like ticks or what have you. Ideally, we should be able to spea...

Thank you for your sharing your experience. Yes I’ve been just ignoring it. But she notices it but I don’t think it bothers her too much. And yes, she is shy when she is at school. I’m glad to hea...

I have a daughter that started to stutter and it’s been more than a year now. Your story is very helpful because as a parent I will now help her accept it instead of trying fixing it. I’ll Let her k...

I do have a stutter and have had one my entire life. I have found the best method for me is to make myself heard and encourage others to do so. Thank your for your comments....

Honestly I know you’re trying to be ‘encouraging’ but this is so dismissive and patronising and you should probably delete it as it doesn’t belong in this subreddit. The other long listed reply says e...

My 2 cents: I am 49 years old, master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, married with 1 son AND a national trainer. My stutter started as a result from a traumatic dog attack at the ...

I was pretty shocked when you wrote you're 14 at the end. You're clearly very intelligent and mature, especially for a 14 year old. You articulate the struggle so well and if you can write and think l...

No one has ever asked me if i forgot my name but that sounds dumb, if someone would ask me something like that i'd be very mad at them... Unfortunately i don't have any tips for you, it's a psychologi...

Thanks so much for your advice! Thinking of stuttering as an itch is an amazing metaphor. I really appreciate your perspective on how stuttering matters less as you become more comfortable with it....

Thank you so much for sharing your parents' words! I really like their advice to focus on the person and the conversation. The anxiety piece has been huge for him. I've partnered with his therapist an...

Makes sense! Love how you are also able to trick your mind into a better mood. I can definitely use that hahaha! Thanks!...

I have not tried that, but the drug you listed is a SSRI antidepressant, and also helps with anxiety; Perhaps the improvement came from less anxiety during speech rather than the inherent effects of ...
