Sure countless times, I just kept holding off, normally with distractions. Sometimes I’d sleep a ton. Sometimes I’d indulge in movies. Sometimes in activities. It seemed once I got out of high school ...

Great question. And IDK if my take even applies to you. If I'm off base, pardon the following. If your stutter is directing your life, you start taking control back. One decision at a time. And it d...

I talk about it openly which helps a lot..especially at work. Once i didn’t try to mask it, I felt more comfortable in speaking situation and my fluency became much much better. That’s just me though...

I use my alexa for my shopping list and have had to come up with some creative ways to say items because she doesn't give me enough time to get them out. My partner was so confused the first time sh...

Yes 😭 I used to use a different name in starbucks and would avoid meeting new people. I've had people laugh and say things like 'did you forget your name?' as they don't realise that I have a stutter...

I still stutter. But I took a radical approach to deal with it. I put myself in speaking situations ALL the time. I volunteered to read a sermon at church. (Terrifying) Joined 2 toastmaster clubs. ...

For me personally, once I stopped caring what people thought of my stutter and started showing people the real me they didn’t care. I have a good circle of friends, some recent and some built on years...

I always heard the same thing, and I use to stutter alone, and it was very defeating hearing others did not. I feel there are two parts to stuttering, the internal and the external. I always felt when...

I see my stutter as a negative 99% of the time too. I have a zero tolerance approach for people laughing at me not with me. My severity varies alot from mild to severe. It's very tied to my anxiety....
