Female stutterer here. Personally, I think there may be more women stutterers than people realize, but that women are better at 'covert' stuttering, and therefore don't necessarily go to speech therap...

Repetition is key. I have a job where I regularly brief a large group of people every day. At first it was hard, and I was embarrassed and struggled, but now, it’s as easy as singing a song. Don’t gi...

Now is not the time to quit man. Now is the time to pick yourself up and rebuild. Don't let the stutter take control of you. Show it who is boss. ...

This sucks. I’m going to quit my job

This sucks. I’m going to quit my job I need to vent. This post is difficult. I’ve kind of managed to control my stuttering over the years; I believe I’ve gotten better. I’m fact, when I was in my twe...

Thats because altering your voice is a form of acting which helps masking it. Did you know Samuel L Jackson has a stutter, and have you ever heard him stutter during a movie? I sure haven't ....

Yeah, don't hide your stutter. Tell people around you. It's just stutter, after all - not your fault, and certainly not something you need to cover up somehow. :) Also, don't wait until an arbitrary ...

i'm sorry to hear about that. my previous position was under an advisor that was trying his best to help me, but he constantly judged and critiqued my stutter to the point where i felt highly self-con...

i am always highly skeptical of this "cure your stutter in X days" or "use this herb and it will go away!" first, i don't think it's the best attitude to act like it's some unsavory thing that needs ...

Ex stutterer here with a word of advice. A 100 % stutter free life is possible but it takes a fuckton of willpower, dedication and time.. there's no magical cure it all but please don't accept your s...

I agree with you 100%. My problem is mainly that, since no one at university knows i stutter, i just fear to come out as a stutterer, mild one but one nonetheless. The people that know i do, or at le...

I definitely wouldn't lie about it. Honesty seems the most healthy. Anyways... could you not have just stated your condition? Would that not have given you a pass of some sort? As for avoidance, som...

I don't think it'd call it practice, because that sounds like something that will end up improving things, and I'm not sure that's the case overall. I guess we could call it maintenance? But that real...

Hey there, sorry that you are going through this. Just know that most of us have been exactly where you are now, including me. I used to be a Financial Rep at a bank and I was usually the one that h...

What jobs can I get where I don't have to talk much?

What jobs can I get where I don't have to talk much? I currently work as a data entry clerk for an appliance parts store. I block a lot when I answer the phone and in the last couple of times working ...

I do this at the beginning of every phone interview. I also usually request a video chat interview because I find that I stutter less when I can see the person I'm talking to. 20+ years of speech ther...

When was that time you ran away and regretted it?

When was that time you ran away and regretted it? I've stuttered since i was 6 and have had some pretty bad experiences (mostly in middle and high school) that didn't do well for my self-esteem and co...

How I overcame stuttering in a week

How I overcame stuttering in a week Little back story, I've had a stutter since 4 and had therapists up until mid 20's, I've attended the Mcquire programme and the starfish programme here in the UK. I...

Unfortunately not. No footage of me stuttering - wouldn't allow anybody to film me when my speech was bad. ...

I just moved from Pittsburgh. Was a regular at those Nsa meetings! They are a good group of guys. You are already on the right track as others have said. It’s a process. I think shame, guilt, and self...

Outing myself

Outing myself I’ve been a PWS since I was around 3 years old. I’m now 26 and, while my stutter is very mild, it still deeply affects me emotionally and limits the things I allow myself to do. I’m not ...
