You have every right to be pissy. Try not to carry it over to the next guy. You are worthy of greatness just because you’re you...

Everyone figures out their own way to deal with their stutter - or they don't. I've met 3 extremely successful older people - an account manager at Ogilvy, a head of a department within the federal re...

Be patient. Be supportive. Absolutely do not finish their words, fill them in, make then feel rushed. If you read some of the posts in this community you're going to find a lot of people are struggl...

Gosh it's horrible... the fear, anxiety, depression. Your self esteem and confidence also suffers greatly. I have lived with the crippling fear of appearing stupid/slow.. anytime I open my mouth. I ag...

Hey... I dont have the experience but just wanted to give you courage. Give it a try! If that is something you are passion about go for it. It is always smart to leave you confort zone. Maybe you wi...

I learned a technique called 'soft touch' or something like that. It's like really softly touching your lips when saying the letter you want to say. I'm sure there are video's about it on yt. That rea...

Yup, turn 40 next week. Life is good. Recent sobriety has me seeing much-needed, new adventures in life such as owning a home and the possibility of a new, more satisfying job. I don't think I imagi...

I'm 35. Life has turned out differently than I would have expected. But I'm happily married and am currently a stay at home Dad for my amazing 1 year old. It might not be what I expected, but in many ...

I stutter all the time - every sentence, with others, with dogs, alone, but never in my mind. It gets easier, brother!...

38(M) here. Married with 1 kid, 2 dogs, working for a major oil company, homeowner on the ocean. I wish I could tell my 20 year old self that I’d be ok, it would’ve saved me so much anxiety. Things ge...

There’s no sense in creating another issue by using force. I used to do that when I was a child. Now I do anything I can to work around them, such as Pausing for a few seconds, using synonyms, deflect...

40, and it gets better. I have everything a normal person who doesn't stutter has. It just takes knowing that you're in control of your life, not Your fluency....

Absolutely this happens to many stutters including myself at 40 , they don't care of stuttering at all & it's impact would have reduced so much at 40. Experience & maturity level & support...

Early thirties, much much less anxiety and depression (therapy and antidepressants helped too). No suicidal thoughts, and I was suicidal in my teens-early twenties. It gets better. No relationship but...

In my late 30s too. 20s were miserable, full of depression, anxiety, etc. Still a struggle sometimes but for the most part I’ve been able to manage it better. Relationships wise, I haven’t had much l...

As a married, 36 year old I just wish I could tell all the younger people in this sub to just chill. Don’t stress over things you cannot control and try and work on the things you do have control over...

Don’t you wish you could go back and tell your younger self to not let stuttering play such a big role in your emotional well being?...

I'm in my late 30s and turned my life around quite well compared to my 20s. Back then I was depressed, dropped out of college and lived with my parents. Now I'm in a steady relationship, have a good s...
