**"I am angry/frustrated/mad at myself."** It's not about focusing on fight or flight response or punishing yourself. It's about: stuttering doesn't bother you. Because then you: 1) face your trigger...

"how you don't **care** about the stutter? How do you take distance from it if it's inside you?" That's a very deep question. Suppose we go all the way back when we were small kids. Even if we stutte...

As a long time stutterer, I asked this question myself, but then realised that I don't really need to distance myself from the stutter. I stutter the most when I tell my own name. My own identity. But...

I feel you. I honestly have not met anyone that truly has felt and feels what we go through most days, weeks, years. It sucks. Hang in there. I bet it made you hard as a rock (blessing/curse). If...

There is no redefining a life time of endless humiliation. The worst is all the grifters promoting fake cures. Nothing no works. No one knows why it happens. No one knows how to fix it. No one gives a...

Hmm , accepting your stutter shouldn’t necessarily make you more fluent, it could , but the point of accepting it . Is not dwelling on it, thinking negatively about stuttering moments that happened...

Growing up I always thought I would be alone. I had what I called the Unholy Trinity: overweight, pimple faced and a stutterer. It was terrible. Kids suck and some of those kids grow up and become a...

Yeah I’ve read about dopamine antagonists and how they can help lower that extra dopamine in the speech area of our brain but I was just curious how your journey has been since you started accepting y...

For me, it’s both. It’s a curse because there is no greater anguish than having something in your heart you know is worth saying, and literally not being able to say it. It’s also the worst when you k...

The president of the United States had a stutter, really goes to show it isn't truly a limit and can be overcome with enough dedication....

I'm 35 years old (female) and have never had a relationship mostly because of my severe stutter. I was bullied hard because of my stutter and I simply cannot trust people to not laugh at me 🤷‍♀️ I ha...

Keep at it. It’s worth it, but don’t fool yourself into thinking you have to improve your stutter to find love. I have a severe stutter and am happily married. I spent years in isolation though and th...

It's a battle within. Stuttering is a curse. Stuttering is a blessing some report. It's always held me back or the powers at be see it as a weakness and hold you back....

When I was applying for mitigating circumstances at my university the university officer who was doing my assessment asked 'do you have autism' and I was like 'no I am here for my stammer' He just sai...

**"how to find confidence and push yourself"** You could try this out to gain confidence: * Firstly, before you start speaking, make sure that you set this new mindset:you are not anticipating a stu...

I had a really hard time with this for a long-ass time, and still do have lots of moments. It made it a lot easier when I thought about those times in elemtary/middle/high school and being insecure an...

Thank you for your detailed response! I really don’t think I share any of the autistic features that you stated. I’m personally just a really quiet person at first. It takes a lot for me to open up an...

No one's actually said that to me, but I do get treated like I'm stupid/slow a lot (yes, I know that autism /= slow necessarily, just saying). I honestly think that, quite to the contrary, even thou...

I agree. I also wrote below a message about this. Even the psychologist who diagnoses people for autism, doesn't know what a stutterer is thinking. For example, if a stutterer feels that he cannot say...

A friend of mine who stutters, is diagnosed for autism. He told me that he had to answer the question of the psychologist. The psychologist wanted to hear 2 stories of my friend. One of the stories wa...
