I grew up in a school where you got a form of character building per se with a stutter so my tolerance of care about it is minimal...
I’d have a general attitude where you’re open about it as much as possible. I am 38 and hide mine, which makes things much harder....
In my experience as an adult.. no one cares about my stutter. Most people dont care unless it effects them.. its in our heads that people care about it. Many times I've been stuck stuttering and apolo...
i'm 38 now, and upto 34 i had the same mindset about my stuttering as you do. I'd have fluent stretches, and then something happened (stressful meeting, argument with someone, bad sleep, etc.) and the...
Humanity is diverse. Just because your ‘problem’ is more evident than others, don't assume you are cursed! You have obviously excelled academically. You can feel wonderful about that. Your exceptional...
Great advice. Denial never works and increases your stuttering. Start out acknowledging your stuttering. It reduces your anxiety and re-aligns the expectations of the listener. Sue...
Yes, it was always that look of surprise and pity I hated the most. I found myself never looking the listener in the face until I realized everyone has some deformity. Ours just is more obvious. Reali...
Oh, she was a Ph.D. In Psychotherapy. She is amazing. its not like I'd never had psychotherapy in the past many years, it's just that she had the right skills. In my state, a Ph.D. APRNs can also pres...
Dude, I was just very lucky. She has her Ph.D. and is an APRN, an advanced practice RN. She teaches at our medical school. After 70 years of stuttering, she recognized I had an abusive childhood. Whe...
Mine were the same. They never understood or got me speech therapy. It took until the age of 70 for me to become fluent. I had an abusive childhood and by dealing with it in psychotherapy, I became fu...

Guy at Redwood Skywalk! Hello! In case if you were in this subreddit, I just wanted to say thank you for being so kind and friendly. Yes, I noticed your stutter but it’s because I stutter just like y...
So true, usually, except in the case of emotionally caused stuttering. In my case, dealing with my abusive childhood through psychotherapy at the age of 70, fully ‘cured’ my stuttering. Because there ...
Regarding famous personalities who have mentioned that they suffered from stuttering/stammering at one point and overcame it, did they actually have the kind of stutter that troubles one, while growing older?

I recovered from stuttering through psychotherapy at the age of 70! I dealt with my abusive childhood. I knew I had to stop shutting my eyes when speaking to another person. I finally realized I had d...
We really don't know. I know, for me, it had something to do with external judgment. We are fluent when talking to ourselves or to a pet but anywhere else it's a crapshoot. I suffered from an abusive...
Hey. We all know what it feels like to be at your lowest. My best advice to you is to find a path to acceptance. Once you real that no one really cares that you stutter and that YOU are your worst cri...
Don’t spend another thought on ‘getting better’. Handle today and don’t let your stutter affect the current moment and you’ll “get better” without realizing it. Best of luck...
**Great job, congrats.** I'd say at the first day of Uni, go to the people who seem the most pleasant and the most sociable, and just introduce yourselves. Ik it sounds kinda quirky but it works, and...
Congratulations. What an insight. Anything that helps one of us, may help others. I'm a recovered stutterer too who had multiple TBIs. My stuttering had nothing to do with the TBIs or improper diaphr...
Whenever I train carpenters for on the job training, I simply say, “I have a speech impediment and sometimes is difficult to say certain sounds, please let me know if there’s any questions.” It hone...
