In this big ever expanding universe do you really think someone give a damn about how you talk? If they make fun of you just ignore them, they are not worth your attention, just do what you want to do...

The older I get, the more leeway I tend to give people for being ignorant…it’s not easy and I’m not saying this is what you should do. But if you otherwise like your job and your boss, consider forgiv...

I felt like this when I was a teenager and in my younger twenties. The things that helped me was I found that if I cracked a joke on my speech first and made light of it, it took some of the shame out...

I understand where you are coming from… I oftentimes feel the same way whenever I hear other people who stutter. I’m starting to accept my stutter.. And aww thank you :)...

I believe that accepting it it’s the first step of living freely with it. King george VI was a stammerer and was loved by a whole nation, many other influential persons were stutterers. Ever since I s...

To answer your first question, it’s counter productive to the goal of acceptance. There is no cure for stuttering. The sooner that you accept the fact that you are a person who communicates differentl...

Something that doesn't focus on fluency or control. That teaches you how to he more comfortable with stuttering and stutter more naturally, instead of fighting it which is where the tension comes from...

Well, it’s satire. I stutter badly and it really made me laugh. The faces, the exaggeration, it’s obviously fake, and that’s what makes it funny. We shouldn’t take these things in a bad way, as you sa...

Sweet-Holiday I matured because I had to. My parents did nothing to help my stuttering and treated me badly after I began to shutter at the age of 4-5. I believed they valued me so little that they al...

What really helped me was going through speech therapy. But my speech therapy was geared towards being OK with my stutter. Which is a pretty recent thing in speech therapy from what I understand....

I read this book and it completely shifted my perspective on confidence and stutter

I read this book and it completely shifted my perspective on confidence and stutter One of my good friends, Ryan Cowley, wrote a book on his lived experience as a person who stutters and how he gained...

This is something I think about often! I look back, and none of my boyfriends minded because I asked them. Not that they should, but it was really comforting. My current one now says it’s something he...

My first day at college (coming from a graduating high school class of 62 people) at my first class in “honors colloquium” some class you got into if you were smart. It was an auditorium full of peopl...

You could start the presentation with “by the way I stammer sometimes which means I might take a bit longer to speak. Let me know if you have any questions.” It makes you seem confident and comfortabl...

this is the best way i've seen so far. don't make it a big deal because it isn't. casually bring it up into conversation and if they make it a big deal, you know they aren't the one for you/aren't the...

Yes, it is absolutely possible to have confidence as someone who stutters. Stuttering does not define your worth or abilities as a person, and it should not hinder your confidence or ability to build ...

It took me 30 years to be confident in my own skin. Shame, hiding behind things, it sucked. I literally flipped a switch in my head and said “F*ck it. I’m me, F*ck you.” Grab life by the horns a...

Nearly 50 y/o stutterer… Lots of confidence now… But that came failure after failure after failure after failure. I know the “look” when you lose a listener and the panic that makes stuttering worse w...

I was thinking about my journey- I was ashamed too, I wasn’t really comfortable in my own skin until I was in my late 30s....

I like it. It's this huge overpoweringly present aspect of my life that just... everyone pretends doesn't exist, it's weird. It's nice to have it acknowledged and empowering to have those conversation...
