Yes. this was the exact case with me. Went through about 2 years of speech therapy across many different therapists. None of them helped. What did help was being comfortable. I’m 16 and still have a s...

If anyone has any questions they can ask me. I am not trying to disrupt the group and its ideologies. I just want to help. I am not selling anything or I just know how shitty it feels. There were time...

Writing about stuttering can take ages because experiences are varied. My mistake right from primary school was hiding my stutter and appearing to everyone as a normal speaker. I was made the senior p...

Dude why so angry. Maybe don't be so dismissive of other people's experiences. My stutter has been a major burden on my life too. I'm just saying sometimes it seemed to to be a bit disarming when talk...

I talk about it openly which helps a lot..especially at work. Once i didn’t try to mask it, I felt more comfortable in speaking situation and my fluency became much much better. That’s just me though...

Yes 😭 I used to use a different name in starbucks and would avoid meeting new people. I've had people laugh and say things like 'did you forget your name?' as they don't realise that I have a stutter...

You are right bro. It never goes away but with time you learn to deal with it and accept it. That makes life a lot easier....

I still stutter. But I took a radical approach to deal with it. I put myself in speaking situations ALL the time. I volunteered to read a sermon at church. (Terrifying) Joined 2 toastmaster clubs. ...

For me personally, once I stopped caring what people thought of my stutter and started showing people the real me they didn’t care. I have a good circle of friends, some recent and some built on years...

I always heard the same thing, and I use to stutter alone, and it was very defeating hearing others did not. I feel there are two parts to stuttering, the internal and the external. I always felt when...

You are generally correct. I’ve found that people of quality genuinely respect and value you even with a speech impediment. Anyone else doesn't merit my interest. Choose your friends carefully. There...

I am 45 and know stuttering weighed me down the past 4 decades. Couldn't date till I was 24 and stayed away from relationships I really desired for fear I would be rejected. I'm married now to a grea...

The memes serves dual purpose. For someone like you who is trying to fix/reduce your stutter, it reminds you to accept you are stutterer. Acceptance is the first stage to fix it. For those who hav...

I see my stutter as a negative 99% of the time too. I have a zero tolerance approach for people laughing at me not with me. My severity varies alot from mild to severe. It's very tied to my anxiety....

Before meeting my wife. I think it sometimes helped me. Especially out in a public social setting. So many women have a natural defence mechanism up when talking to new guys and I think my stutter som...

You can't do much to change it. Even with therapy. Joe Biden still stutters. Concentrate on the quality of your words and don't give a damn whether you stutter while saying them. Anyone that's not pat...

Why fret over something out of your control? Do not wonder how to be a good person, simply be one :)...

That's great and I'm glad you took the time to empathize with this person. I kinda feel like a small town is an advantage because I know everyone and they all know me so no surprises lol. My father is...

I’m 39 this year and felt like that; seriously, you need to get out of that mindset and make sure you enjoy yourself. The only one stopping you, is you....
