Confidence, just realize that when you're alone you don't stutter with your name so why would you with other people? And if you do stutter who cares, the more you care the more people will care but if...

Stuttering in Class

Stuttering in Class I just want to share my experience here. 2 hours ago, I was at school and I decided to go home early because I really can't handle the embarrassment after I've just talked in front...

Hi, Resident_Frame, I think you are referring to my comment that I still talk to myself? We’ll, I stuttered most of my life age 5-70. Because we stutterers often don’t stutter when talking to ourselve...

I'm so proud of you! Reading your achievements and how far you've come has just made my day. Hoping all the more for you now 💓...

Appreciation

Appreciation I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how far I've come and everyone that has helped me. I remember being in my room half a year ago, lying in bed hurting myself before Universit...

Would it be possible to pay for a speech therapist instead? Now would be a perfect time to go. In my experience the more you cater to your stutter the more it ‘controls’ you, so to speak...

20 years of speech therapy?damn, i've never been to any therapies lol.. yeah, man.. acceptance it is. It sucks though how some are left with it and some overcame it or more, how and why is there a st...

This! The amount of time and mental energy I spent trying to “cure” my stutter or hide it … smh I ended up feeling like a complete failure every day. This is just my experience, but after 20 years of ...

I would like to share this story: I was at an event in my hometown and I saw someone from high school that I hadn't seen in years! We didn't go to the same school but we regularly hung out and parti...

Have you ever felt like your stuttering defines who you are as a person?

Have you ever felt like your stuttering defines who you are as a person? **A) Yes, I feel like my stuttering defines who I am:** You feel that your stuttering is a central aspect of your identity, an...

Our Waiter this weekend had a stutter

Our Waiter this weekend had a stutter I’m nearly 45 years old and I’ve stuttered all my life. As kid and into my early 20s it was fairly severe. Mine manifested as a distortion of my mouth and tongue ...

Crypt... It's still sad that your dad isn't supportive all the time. Did you get speech therapy? I never did. It took me until I was 70 to become totally fluent. Keep doing all you can to improve. S...

I never stuttered in my head but I still talk to myself because many of us stutterers are only fluent when we are talking to ourselves. I have overcome my stuttering after 65 years but the self-talk s...

So sad to have your parents reject you for something you have no control over. My parents marginalized me, never got me speech therapy and generally abused me because I was imperfect. I did marry a w...

If she's telling you to do it to avoid a block, that's the wrong intention before voluntary stuttering. Voluntary stuttering is primarily used to take on the role of the person who stutters even you d...

So we’re supposed to live like hermits and bow down to those without a stutter? It’s not selfish to try to be confident and live normally. You’re making it sound like we owe something to everyone we i...

Love the thoughts. As a PWS, and a father of a sub who has apraxia and stuttering, I want to make sure that my son not have the negative thoughts about stuttering that I did (or at least not all of t...

Sorry to hear that. I definitely feel ya. Acceptance + time has made me mostly fluent in my singing voice again, but it took so long… It haunts. That’s a good word for it....

Fluency isn't the only game in town. In my opinion it's the sisyphean path. You can work towards everything you want from fluency (ease, spontaneity, saying everything you want to say) while still hav...

Kudos to you for pushing through and asking your question during the Annual General Meeting! Your attitude is truly inspiring. It's great that you're embracing your stutter and focusing on what truly ...
