I stuttered for 65 years and at 70 I became fully fluent through dealing with my abusive childhood in psychotherapy. Though I’ve been totally fluent in English, my native language, when I speak Spanis...

I used to be this way. I've gotten in a few alterations, but mainly when I waa younger (about your age). As I got older I grew more comfortable with myself and my stutter. I would still call people o...

We have to cut people a wide path. First by accepting that our speech is abnormal. If they divert eye contact early on, it's perfectly normal. Facial expression changes as well. We do have to make up ...

Hi there. First of all, congrats on being brave enough to ask for help. I stuttered a lot as a kid and it improved as I got older with speech therapy. Can you go to a speech therapist? That would he...

I honestly felt the same, and still do to an extent, but there are a lot of people out there. I've yet to find a partner but that's more on me being lazy. What I do have are friends who don't make fac...

Back when I was a kid and was made to go to church, this lady stuttered (very rare) and volunteered to read the psalm in front of the congregation twice a month. Now, the 37 year old me commends her f...

I have completely overcome stuttering. However there is still a whisper floating around in my mind on occasion when I may fumble a word like a normal person, but I don’t scan feared words, I don’t blo...

I am not even saying that. Like i said people mostly don't care and keep conversation. I just had to say it one time couple years ago in a job interview. I were super nervous and unlocked the beast st...

The first time I ran into another pws at my family's store yes omg this. I regret how I handled the whole thing wanna just go back in time and hug him 😔...

This is great advice! I do agree that when you label yourself, you are limiting yourself or telling yourself that you cannot do certain things bc you stutter....

I’m sorry to hear that. Please don’t beat yourself up over it. My stuttering is hereditary, it’s something I’ve dealt with for 35 years and I’ve come to accept it as a part of me. While stuttering isn...

I usually stutter badly around people I’m not familiar. While I have moments of disfluency which can be severe, I also have fluent speech once I’m comfortable around people. I typically stutter more w...

Also front west coast and it's an event for people who stutter in Florida. My speech therapist told me to attend the zoom meeting, to remind me I'm not weird for not being fluent. And remember we're n...

It's a disability if you let it be a disability, it's not a disability if you don't let it be a disability....

Recently learnt mine is neurological and prior to learning that. I had given up on life the past 7ish years, cause I thought it was curable. I hated myself so much for not being able to be fluent no m...

Nice! Congrats. I’m just blown away at my improvement! I’m literally going out of my way to talk to people because I’ve never been able to do this before! I’m definitely still stuttering at times, b...

Oof, I never said it was a blessing full stop. Stuttering voices are beautiful because when one hears it from others, they may have the feeling of camaraderie. Stutterers are not alone. I realize ...

Isn't it wonderful to finally be able to express every feeling? To me, finally not having to be aware of every word, and every facial expression, lightens the general burdens of life. Congratulatio...
