This is very true, I just wish I could set my mind like you. Whenever I stutter with my friends I usually forget about it within the hour, but when its with a stranger or someone that I need to projec...

Well this post was longer than I hoped. I included a TL:DR section at the bottom but you really need to understand how to be your own therapist to make this work. Well I really want to point out that...

You're probably not thinking/worrying about your speech as much. As such, you dont trip yourself and likely have lower anxiety. Often, the more we care about our speech and not stuttering, the more em...

Your process for speaking is a fluency nightmare. First don't think too much what you are gonna say. I've found talking "off the cuff" i am way more fluent. If I try and tell a joke or something that ...

Logic tells me that I shouldn't give a shit about what people think. Unfortunately when it comes to my speech, logic doesn't win out, my emotions do 100% of the time. It's very confusing for me to ta...

Yep, as soon as you're aware that people are looking at you, it's like you're looking at yourself through their eyes. Then, you realise you've been stuttering for the past 5 seconds and have no idea w...

I feel you. The best advice I can give is to do things without thinking about them, it'll help you worry less and prepare more for something you really want to do. My original example isn't a good e...

wow, I know what you mean by "Most of the time I just feel like I have no thoughts or opinions to bring to the table" Its so much harder to think if u have to concentrate how u say it at the same tim...

How do you feel about talking?

How do you feel about talking? I stuttered when I was a child and it really hurt my confidence/self-steem. I wouldn't speak up much in school or actively talk to people. I pretty much only spoke when ...

Yeah spot on everything jumbles and mumbles if I don't think about it. Spending all day thinking about how to talk takes it's roll though...

I can be a severe stutterer, depends on situation. It is normally when I am tired, dehydrated or something of the like. That's when I am at my worst. Also, I fucking hate 'B'. I always try and mask it...

There's many other thoughts around stuttering in your mind, generally someone who has a very heavy stutter things more negatively and therefore trying to implement this thought in your head will just ...

Yes, this is all very true. What you think you become. I also focus a lot and spend quite some time thinking about how to change my perspective and try to develop an overall positive outlook, which mo...

wow the same applies to me. i talked really much when i was younger but in 6-7th great I became aware of being shy when talking in front of a group and as time progresses I talked less and less in cla...

It was exactly the same for me In 1-6th grade teachers always told me to "shut up" and not speak all the freaking time. 7-12th it was the other way around and teachers were actually saying that i sh...

Growing up, I was a loud mouth little shit who annoyed others and defied the rules whenever I could. Then highschool came and I got really self conscious about my speech and became a very quiet person...

I'd like to come at this with some humor, in the movie The Big Lebowski, Walter says "if you will it, it is no dream" i love this quote for many reasons, but mostly because it shows the openness of th...

yeah, I am kind of a perfectionist, or I used to be at school in 5th and 6th grade, and my grades got worse and worse every year maybe because I didnt care anymore because of my stutter. Maybe im my w...

If we were to wake up one day and completely forget we had a stutter, would we still stutter (as badly)?

If we were to wake up one day and completely forget we had a stutter, would we still stutter (as badly)? The less focused I am on my stutter, the less severe it is. Example: when I get engrossed in a...

wow. Didn't know this subreddit existed. I've stuttered all of my life and up until my mid 30's it really fucked me up. At its worst i couldn't get a bus, order a drink at the bar, go to job interview...
