Those younger years are the hardest for me too. I know this may sound empty but those days are long behind you. We keep moving forward and get stronger everyday....

to be honest this sub makes me deeply sad , like okay stuttering may have a genetic or neurobiological origin but i would argue that most of it is psychological and people like john harrison and tim m...

Hey.... I started with techniques like this 30 years ago. It's frustrating but it does pay off. Try to learn to be patient.......

Big No! Stuttering in mid-high intensity levels is a lifetime of constant efforts just to be able to speak (what people without it do without even thinking about it). Even if we provide the best of...

Currently there’s no cures for stuttering if there was you wouldn’t have a subreddit with hundreds of people struggling. Looking for a quick fix will do nothing but disappoint & damage confidence buil...

1. When people avoid eye contact when you talk. 2. Don’t understand the question 3. I wish there was more research as to why it’s occurring and what variables affect fluency and stuttering....

I attend about 5-6 meetings a week, sometimes more. Often with people I have not met before. I stutter openly as a mod-severe stutterer. People wait and are patient. If they do try and interrupt...

More than 80% being fluent!

More than 80% being fluent! Hello there people, It's been 4 months I have become fluent more than 80% and really enjoy talking like I still can't believe this is me and talking and enjoying conversa...

yes but I will always support my child and make sure he/she doesnt feel behind at any place because of his/her stuttering....

Tough choice. I voted no, but that's also because I do not want children. Having children should not be dependent on the fact that they might stutter. Having a child is so much more than that, and on...

It's not about being born vs being dead, it's about whether they appreciate their existence, despite their stutter. Abortion has nothing to do with this. I'm approaching this from a standpoint of ha...

Yes, stuttering holds me back a lot, and I had plenty of nightmarish situations, but there’s enough beauty in the world to make it worth it. I still want to live, want to experience life, so I want my...

I vote yes because I would still love and support my child through it until my dying breathe. Do not deny yourself a lifetime of immense love and joy of raising a child and seeing that child grow into...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. Sounds really harsh!!! My parents were quite negligent about my (and my brothers) stuttering too. They ignored it and n...

You're looking at this in a negative sense, but I get where you're coming from. Yes, we all know how much stuttering sucks, it brought a lot of us pain in many...many scenarios. I for one wish there...

I vote yes because I can be able to provide the support and environment that I didn't receive as a child. I want them to be confident no matter their circumstance....

i don't agree with the whole "there's a chance of \[...\], so I won't have children" take, but i can't agree with your reasoning either. the "so you would rather be dead?" part is so wrong. this is n...

I'm not against your decision but i disagree with your reason for it. your children may grow up in a different world, and they may even be someone who prefers to talk in public regardless of stutter....

have you considered that your experience can never exactly mirror anyone else’s? It’s actually impossible for two situations to be exactly the same. I understand your fears, but taking away your oppor...

Any country you're clearly a foreigner who statistically wouldn't be able to speak the local language. When did I say it went away when speaking another language? The expectation to be able to speak...
