It's frustrating, speech therapy? Hello, longtime lurker of these subs. I used to stutter as a kid but it went away in my teens. Moved to a new country and a new job and it came back a couple years in...

Yes and no. I'm 42, been married for 14 years and dated a few women before marriage. Dating is certainly harder with a stutter, but I've had more relationships than some friends of mine who are comple...

I'm a year younger than you with similar experiences. When I was 19 I started speech therapy at the clinic my university had after spending my teenager years not getting help. Currently doing it for t...

Surprisingly i don't have bad memories about "first day presentations". I dreaded more about "first time reading situations" in class. Sure some of them went not so well but nothing disastrous. One ...

One day you'll be in a busy cafe. It will be a hot summer's morning and the line will stretch out behind you. You'll almost be at the counter, and though it will be noisy, you'll be able to hear the p...

I guess with me it's like a subconscious self learned habit. When I really don't have to be fluent I'm not. Peak stuttering for me is in a relaxed conversation with a small group, and it's slightly le...

Same here. When I let my guard down - learned speech tools go out the window - with family or someone close - I stutter off the charts. Make me tense or put me in front of a group of ppl and I can pas...
