Keep your head up

Keep your head up I scroll this thread frequently but rarely comment, I see a lot posts about people’s negative feelings about our condition. Im here to say our stutter doesn’t define us, it’s 2023 we...

Never try to conceal ur stutter put it in your boss face or hold it over his head I hate to use this word but technically we have a disability it would be illegal for them to not hire us as a fellow s...

I have a stutter and am pretty happy with my life on the whole, and the parts I'm unhappy about aren't related to stuttering. I love my job and interview very well. So it's absolutely possible. That ...

To your point, I think stuttering really helps people develop their EQ. There’s another guy in my office that stutters and *humble brag* we’re probably the two most liked guys in the office....

User Experience by way of Graphic Design is where I landed, though I may be an atypical stutterer. Anything I can memorize exactly I can say fluidly, more or less, as long as I modify the vowel-conson...

>I know you may think people think things about us, and some of them do, but to hell with them. I know this is way easier said than done, but at some point I started viewing my stutter as a free a...

It'll get better. I go between almost 100% fluency to choppier speech when I'm stressed or burnt out. It's a cycle and the more you think about it the more it feels like it's happening. Try to "accep...

My stutter changes from bad to not so bad then bad again throughout the years. I got into IT almost by accident way back when there wasn't a formal path into IT. But, partly because of my stutter maki...

I tap, a finger or a foot to get going. I also forced myself to be confident and literally stared down anyone who chuckled. Speaking in front of 200+ people isn’t scary anymore, I had to get comfo...

I've been there. I have no quick fix for you or any magical trick. I can only say I keep at it and I'm much happier where I am today. I'm pretty proud of myself given where I was many years ago. I kno...

I know, but I still stutter around my best friends, my exes, my family, etc., I. situations where I'm otherwise totally relaxed. Thinking back, I was also able to achieve a similar level of fluency wh...
