Does the cashier at Starbucks determine your life? Pick your battles man. Obviously some peoples opinions matter but not everybodies. How you let people treat you reflects on you. I haven’t trained ...

Confidence is being confident in yourself that you dont give a fuck about what anyone thinks. Confidence is more than just the words you speak. Its everything, body language, how confident you are abo...

“No core reason to be confident.” You’ve decided for yourself that there is no reason for someone with a stutter to be confident. Is that your message to everyone on this sub? I stutter and I live m...

>And I feel like I everyone who stutters is “doing their best” all the time, at least in my case. I wasn't. For a long time I didn't. Is there something more you can / should be doing? Doing more ...

I’m glad it stuck to you. You’re not just your stutter, you’re so much more. And if anyone can’t look past that, then they aren’t worth your time....

How about we relate it to a different disability. What if every time you looked at someones blown off leg in a wheelchair they got weird about it. Or they got weird about you asking what being blind i...

Well it’s bad advice to just say “get some confidence” it’s a process. Be brave might make more sense but it does sound dramatic. The confidence comes from being brave. If there is something you avoid...

I only brought up that example because it was the easiest one to understand, I said you can replace it with anything and the analogy still rings true. Car/internet etc… And I feel like I everyone who...

I think "confidence" has been assigned to the wrong thing here. Confidence in a tool does not help when your tool (your mouth) is unreliable, you're right, but people who talk about "having confidence...

Same!! I’m already stuttering so why not try to make the best out of it? The only thing I’m worried about is my future kids though but I realized that if that happens, I have the tools I need to help ...

Thanks for the great advice and I'll deffenitly remember it and I'll try to not let my stutter make me....

This is what I do with phone calls. I practice what I want to say, and then I speak slowly when it is actually time. I still have problems speaking to strangers (eg asking something in a store), but I...

I think if you’re more confident, you can reduce some anxiety you have which may improve your fluency. Too much anxiety makes you stutter more. For instance, if i have a job interview, I practice soo...

When I am confident I don't care about my stuttering as much which helps me speak better. When my anxiety is really high is when I have a tougher time with speech....
