My stutter is genetic, so I guess, by definition, it'll never be cured. It was much worse growing up. Better and more manageable now, but I'm finally back in therapy and trying to do more independen...

I agree. I think it all comes down to expectations (that we rely on to move our speech muscles). Expectations such as: * Linking "very scared words in front of strangers" to "not executing speech mov...

I'm sorry, what you've shared sounds really hard. Not at all okay for your supervisor to use your stutter as a reason to keep you from participating as your classmates do. You're not alone, **at all,*...

Interesting reflection, I've found my stutter is associated with my anxiety too. Strangely it's not related to my stress at all...in high pressure situations I am much more fluent. As Little\_acantha...

Yeah I agree. That's a part of me that think it was fine and other that's very frustrated hahaha. Maybe because there were clients there too and wanted to make a good impression. But I think it was so...

That's a great way to reframe it, your message was communicated effectively. Good managers notice that type of thing--stutter or not, they're paying attention to your other communication skills....

Hey buddy. I hope you are doing fine. From my experience it does help. As for the why I really don´t know. Maybe it is because looking someone at the eye make's me connect with him more deeply. But...

I think "hard" is an understatement lol. You won't be able to do it in difficult situations. You have to start with the safest, easiest situation in which you block and tell yourself, "my goal here is...
