Yeah, or thumbs up, or an informal salute of some sort. I think it's important that we be able to resort to movement when our speech fails us. It helps us stay in the communication....

Every day I have fun with the drive-by "How are you/what's up/how's it going?" I always take the time to slowly answer and people have to stop and hear me out before going on. ...

I think just a smile and a head nod/small wave would work just as well if you're stressing about saying anything! That's what I do...

That's not doxxing. Doxxing is when you attempt to find personal information about a user to harass them in real life....

Exposure is definitely the cure. My speech hasn't really improved throughout my life, but stuttering is not an issue to me anymore. I'm infinitely more concerned about if I have a booger in my nose. ...

Thank you for this thread. Very well written. To the part of using psychedelics, I think it's a very valuable experience. I would not recommend trying them when you are in that self-pity hole full of ...

I lived my entire life afraid of what people would think of me because of my stuttering. As a child I got made fun of and called names like retard. I believed people would think that of me my entire l...

In response to the "Don't be a victim thread"

In response to the "Don't be a victim thread" That thread seemed to really hit a nerve with some people and I'd like to share my perspective, as I think the OP had a good idea but didn't really expres...

Have a couple friends here and there, for most of my life i just stayed indoors playing video games with or without those friends and i met some people online too. I also stutter less online it seems ...

I'd agree here. For me it's all about reducing avoidance behavior. I stutter more when I am holding back and "trying not to stutter." By attacking my feared speaking situations methodically, day after...

I agree. Growing up I was convinced that people wouldn't be able to get passed my stutter or that they would make fun. In reality though, I can count on my fingers the times I've been ridiculed malici...

For me, repetition. I work in an industry that forces me to address a large group of people daily to brief various things (priorities, procedures etc) At first, I was terrified and had problems with s...

Definitely. I think it wasn't really my stutter but my reaction toward it. My sisters always made fun of it and so I became really shy and withdrawn. People liked me, but I was so embarrassed about th...

When I was a kid, yes. I was bullied and ostracized. Though now as an adult I would say the reason I don't have any friends isn't due to my stutter so much as my weird and awkward personality. When ...

I'm a Master Sergeant in the Air Force currently serving as a drill sergeant for USAF BMT. I have a stutter & have also interacted with a fair amount of trainees that stutter & they all manage...

Shuttering - Lets break the myth

Shuttering - Lets break the myth Hii all I am Sammy from India,found your group from google. :) Well actually I am a shutterer from my childhood and it had affected my activities till date .Had tried ...

Tl;dr. You'd think as stutterers we'd all be able to summarize long ass posts into short paragraphs at maximum since most of us do that every day....

> I realized that most people don't really care all that much. I think? You're absolutely right. For fluent people who've never struggled with this, when they encounter you, they don't give your s...

Good luck and good on you for going for it. I worked as a gopher for an auto shop as my first real job and it was a great trial by fire for my stuttering, especially morning runs to Starbucks. Used ...

The name part isn't that huge of a problem for me because I just don't say my name . I say "I'm Bryant". I have realized sometimes I have to add easier words in the start to make me say it all. For ex...
