Thank you a lot for your advice. You just said 2 of the missing pieces for me too, facing fear (stop avoiding situations) and accepting stuttering. Now that you said this, I just realized that accepti...

It's not about fluency at all. It's about easy, comfortable, enjoyable communication. This channel is a great resource. I'd start with the first video https://youtube.com/@OpenStutter...

Our fear of stuttering is often more debilitating than stuttering itself. My advice? Stutter. Look silly. Sound ridiculous. Making peace with my stutter was the best thing I did for my anxiety. My a...

It's wonderful that you have found positivity in your dysfluency. I stuttered from early childhood and l overcame stuttering at the age of 70. It turned out my problem was caused by early childhood t...

It's great to hear that you're finding ways to make face-to-face introductions more comfortable for yourself. It's important to remember that your stutter does not define you and that it's just one as...

That’s a good one lol! I definitely don’t put emphasis on my stutter, all of my friends know I have a stutter but I remember occasionally saying “Ahh it’s one of those days you know” when I would tr...

Spit It Out

Spit It Out 50M who is mostly fluent. Grew up with a severe stutter and didn't get fluent until my mid-20s. I still have the occasional blocks. But nothing compared to what I used to have in my teens ...

It took me all of my life, but I’ve finally accepted my stutter

It took me all of my life, but I’ve finally accepted my stutter [deleted]...

This, and only this. The only other option is a victim mentality. Not to sound like Andrew Tate. But I believe this....

Ive had a similar experience throughout my life aswell. I admit school was hard at times but as I got older I just stopped caring about what other people thought and that helped me so much...

I think it’s the way you handle it. I never cared about my stuttering and just kept going trough eye contact on that person. If it’s really bad I just say 'sorry my stutter is really bad right now' I ...

Gee, I never experienced that. I continued to stutter long after menopause. I fully recovered at the age of 70 through psychotherapy dealing with the trauma of an abusive childhood. It never has anyth...

Yup, all the time. I don't like it, I'd honestly just rather continue to stutter. It makes me feel like the other person might think my stutter is fake or something like that....

Definitely definitely go abroad and deal with it as it comes. It was a great experience overall. I’m about to graduate now and planning a huge solo travel trip - if I stutter, I stutter....

Guess what? I did the hard work and went from dozens of blocks/day to almost zero. My speech is very smooth, and “normal” and interesting, and I can say exactly what I want, whenever I want. Peopl...

There is hope. Don't give up. It took me 70 years to become fluent. My cause was repeated childhood trauma. In my case, the right psychotherapy released my tongue and suddenly I realized I no longer s...

Good luck. After 65 years at 70, I became fluent. It was through psychotherapy that allowed me to deal with the trauma of an abusive childhood. It wasn't the first time I'd had both Psychological and ...

So great that you've found your nitch as you present in your Ph.D. field. Confidence must have impacted your ability to present. I stuttered from childhood but became fluent at 70 through psychotherap...

Don't quit!!! The more you let your stutter scare you out of things the worse off you'll be. I know it's very scary, but please don't quit. Please instead try breaking up the words in the sentence, e...

Stuttering for 10 years, but not stuttering a lot anymore.

Stuttering for 10 years, but not stuttering a lot anymore. I’ve been stuttering for a long time. To me, stuttering is in my head. If I get nervous about stuttering, I stutter a lot. It used to make me...
