My personal observation, I am much more comfortable around family and friends and tend to let my guard down around them....

Same, I stutter a lot more with my friends. I'm not sure why but my guess would be that I'm careless about my speech when I am with close friends, so I naturally stutter, while I'm really careful when...

I’ve read through all of the comments (even the novel) not to be harsh but you sound insecure, to be secure within a relationship you have to be secure within yourself first. it’s one of those things ...

>​Regarding the stories: I do think some are legit and some are fake. I have spoken to people who have this freeing mentality about their speech. Those people are not fake. They really have let-go....

TL;DR no one likes their stutter. No one. Sure, some may find moments of relief and *think* they like it. But, once the dust settles, they will be back at square 1 and, at the very most, they will jus...

If i talk to someone i dont think know my language i speak fluently. If i dont think the other guy in the phone is listening i speak fluently....

This is going to sound silly but I have various fluency techniques I acquired over the years. They are strong when practicing them to myself. When I step out into the world though, in public, I feel a...

I am at a point where I manage to hide my stutter so much so that other people normally don't notice that I have it. That's good, to a large extent, but also bad because my life is still controlled b...

I’ve never had a guy tell me my stutter was cute, but that’s probably because as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned how to avoid my stutter and hide it (which I know is not great but as a terrified teen/e...

Honestly after thinking about it, I think the best benefits might come in public (where my stutter is 100000X worse).. Whether it's at a coffee shop, a park, etc. If/when I try it at a coffee shop, I ...

I haven't gone yet, the weird thing is when im in professional settings i never stutter...

I had to do this when acting as a customer service phone rep at a former job (yeah, I know). I found it to be incredibly exhausting. I wasn't necessarily just slowing down, I also had to focus inte...

Sure, there's a mindset component that factors in more or less, depending on the person. But you can't call stutter an "ego" thing pure and simple. It's not just about the mindset....

I had to go into a cell phone store to prove I was myself when I tried to upgrade my phone recently. The store clerk even had to call the fraud prevention number and they had me answer the same questi...

I’ve found that when you’re hyper aware of it the stutter tends to get worse. All you can do is remain positive and talk talk talk. Never stop talking. Share your opinion and make phone calls. Learnin...

I wouldn't say it caused any major issues, but minor ones sure. I'm good at hiding my stutter by finding synonyms and changing sentences, this however made me feel more stressed as I had a customer wa...

someone in the drive thru today at my work stuttered through his order and i wanted to cry...

I feel your pain lol. It still happens to me when I pick up phone calls. Say something like “thank you for calling blah blah” most likely they will answer if not then say “how can I help?” Also, ma...

At work I once used a text to voice synthesizer I found online to create my voicemail message. That worked for a while. With my personal phone I was sitting in my car one day and decided to use the sp...

I did, it went okay I suppose but I didn't like the job at all. Worst part was that we had a script which included a word that I stuttered on, so I used a different synonymous word. We would have regu...
