Female stutterer here! Went through a lot of struggle in my adolescent and some of my college years but now in my 30s, things have gotten much better....

Turned 30. Stutter never got better but the way I viewed life, everything for me changed. I do not care one bit about my stutter. We have to understand our patterns that have kept us in fear all our l...

I forced it to happen - I left my home country. Spent 3 months travelling. Then just lived abroad for 7 years. The first 3 months travelling was the very first time I started stuttering on my name. ...

I’m never going to stop stuttering. I don’t believe it’s something that “gets better.” And I don’t say that negatively. I think people in this sub are harmed by people saying their stutters got better...

Got better between 18-22. In college you have a lot more open minded people that don’t point it out or make you feel bad about it. Still have really bad days, but the confidence I built in my early ...

Me! I'm pretty confident in my stutter but I'm still a shy person lol. But I don't think my stutter has affected me (just me being self conscious but I overcame it). I still have made friends and I st...

Fantastic news! Congrats on your achievement! We are all very proud of you for just being yourself and breaking barriers in order to make your dreams come to fruition! Good work, Doctor! 👏🏽...

People get uncomfortable, that's normal. I stuttered all my life and it's pretty much always the same. With that said, what matters is how people deal with this discomfort. Emotionally immature or ins...

As a woman who stutters, we are certainly the minority but that also makes you unique and stand out. I’m naturally an outgoing person but was very shy up to college due to my stutter. However, I reali...

It’s never too late it just takes doing small things everyday going to the gym helps me as well as giving myself permission to stutter and not beating myself up over it...

With experience honestly. I’m a 32M and have stuttered my entire life. My younger years were the absolute worst I was fortunate enough to join the Air Force at 20 and I was in a job that was custome...

I stopped caring what people thought about my stammer and just accepted its a part of my identity. I stopped letting this one aspect of myself hold back everything else I had to offer the world. Once ...

My post was mostly focusing on the strategies/techniques that they teach in speech therapy. I think the acceptance side of speech therapy is great, and I’m doing that in school currently....

Yea I agree with that, but for me personally it’s just not something that I find worth my time. Also I clearly have a different mindset than a lot of you guys in this subreddit and speech therapy ju...

Acceptance and self kindness have been transformative, but it does still sting occasionally.

Acceptance and self kindness have been transformative, but it does still sting occasionally. I’m just reflecting really, something I don’t do too often now when it comes to stuttering after having it ...

I wouldn't say the goal is to talk like everybody else. But rather to be more comfortable in speaking and just speak more smoothly. Perfection isn't the goal. I still stutter A LOT using those tricks...
