You just described my whole life. I also only stutter mildy, periodically moderate, but always masked. Still I refuse to life with such dread to the utmost. The only reason to bother holding on is t...

*face palm* lol. This is true. At that time I was completely fluent for like, the better of three months or so. So he’d never heard me stutter/didn’t know I have a stutter. Was a weird situation to hi...

I cant show my real personality

I cant show my real personality At social gathering I am often the weird guy who is just listening. But in my mind I have so many good/funny additions to conversations but the struggle with some words...

That’s exactly what it means. Sounds like this guy hit you with a life lesson! It seems crazy, I know, but people who stutter are obsessed with their stuttering. It’s a catch 22, vicious cycle, etc. I...

Going on a Date

Going on a Date I’ve been texting this guy for some time and turns out we hit it off pretty well. He’s one year older than me (I’m 23/f). I’m excited yet getting crazy anxiety for our date because of ...

This is so accurate, I was just thinking about my stutter and how I hold things back from people, like a story I’d like to share or a comment on something I’d like to say. It must be really amazing to...

Well for me, i noticed that when I know a bad stutter storm is coming I tend to say more than I have to. I become long winded to get around saying the “stutter” word and take FOREVER to make my point....

I mean you'll probably have this any way, but I keep a pen and paper with me and write down everything. It helps me to take my mind off speaking and to be more fluent...

I never tried speaking in front of the mirror but have heard it helps with stutter. I always thought it would make me more self conscious.......

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, essentially. At least it was/is for me, and it seems to be for you. You think that anxiety causes stuttering, which leads to stuttering in anxious situations, which le...

I feel you man. My stuttering is extremely mild if im not anxious or stressed and its pretty controllable i think i focused wrong direction all these years. I do have general anxiety/social anxiety a...

For a long time it put it in the shitter. But I just worked on being more confident with it. I can’t really give steps on how to do that you just kinda do it(I know not very useful). It also helps to ...
