You are right! Let me rephrase it: Question: If non-stutterers are speaking and I tell them: "you can stutter' or "expect a stutter". Why doesn't this impact them to stutter? Why don't they care abou...

Listen I’m still young but this is mindset. Don’t use your stutter as an excuse or as a reason not to do things. At the end of the day everyone has shit about themselves they hate and are embarrassed ...

Hello, long term stutterer here. Also of course your question isn't stupid, I think it's very sweet that you care enough to ask. I guess my first question is your age. When I and most stutterers were ...

Sorry if this reply is a little everywhere, I’m in school right now. 27 here. I’ve stuttered since I was a kid, same as you. Definitely makes life MUCH harder, but not impossible man. It took a looooo...

The article you posted says the following: Predisposition to anxiety probably definitely plays a role in most stuttering- *as both cause and effect*. And, there are still many unknowns. Also, their...

It’s also possible to be mostly a covert stutterer - meaning you put so much energy into hiding it, most people don’t notice it. Especially after high stress events, you can have less energy to “hide...

> In my opinion, by saying 'I have a stutter that sometimes come up' you create a condition to expect a stutter every time you enter a situation, so of course you will stutter. No. I think this is...

I agree! What else do non-stutterers think about their fluent speaking? \- "whatever others say about my speech, I know I can speak fluently" \- "I can speak fluently because I'm a normal person" ...

Hi! I stutter but my brother has a much worse stutter than I do. His stutter is similar to how you’re describing your sons. He holds his breath a bit trying to get a word out but he also has a tick wi...

I am a person who stutters and I understand what you go through. You are not alone in this. There are plenty of people out there from the stuttering communities who can motivate and encourage you. You...

So, I’m a little confused. In another post, it sounds like you’re a man or that you’re married to a woman, either of which doesn’t seem to add up with this post. Apologies if I’m reading it wrong. ht...

Be brave, but get a job where you don’t have to talk too much in stuttering-inducing situations, especially public speaking. See an SLP with stuttering expertise, not for a cure, but to learn more, de...

I am 40 years old, and I did not "come out" openly and proudly about my stutter until I was 37. If I could go back to highschool knowing how much more free life is when you can 'scold' someone for ma...

I'm 38. I've been on the path of acceptance for a very long time now, but only in the past couple years I have developed a realization that it doesn't matter...any of it. We think it does when we a...

My comment was meant to point out the oddity of saying that simply because people who have x are still not happy must mean that x is overrated. I’m not sure I understand the “fluency mindset.” It sou...

You sound like a really great co-worker. I'm sure things will work out and I think a negative outcome is highly unlikely, especially given how much time and thought you are putting into this. It sou...

This legal component is important to keep in mind, so thank you for reminding me. I lead the team we are on together, but organizationally, and personally, we are peers. I think we are probably on the...

I can appreciate your desire to get the most of this persons potential. I can also appreciate that non stutterers will never understand what it is like and I also want to add that there are so many d...

His point about other people having an inner-stutter is interesting to me. I’ve always thought that it is an advantage in a way to have a flaw as obvious as stuttering. We are forced from a young age ...

Thank you for your insight. I have no idea where he is in terms of his stuttering journey, and I had a feeling there was probably a wide range of feelings people might have about it. So I don't want t...
