We need to be willing to be less than perfect, to be “bad” at speaking. partly to let the other person know that we stutter (and it’s no big deal) and partly to show to ourselves that it’s n...

We are all success stories by waking up everyday and facing our fears speaking in this world. Let's all give ourselves a pat in the back!...

Fantastic post - thanks for sharing. I’m 38 and my journey is very similar. I still get the anxiety at big parties or work events but as I’ve aged I’ve learned to see myself as the rest of the world d...

There are many people that have been “cured”. It’s not an actual “stuttering is gone”, more so that they appear fluent in everyday conversations. It’s typically people that are go-getters, remain po...

McGuire Grad as of last year. One of the best decisions that I’ve made. Helped tremendously with my speech but other aspects such as confidence, especially social confidence. Unfortunately the program...

Don't be hard on yourself, you powered through. Celebrate that win and keep winning 🙌 I used to do that until it almost broke me. Know that you are a FRICKEN COURAGEOUS person!!!...

Does anyone else do this?

Does anyone else do this? When I stutter in front of someone new (and I have a really severe stuttering, mostly timeless blocks), I actually laugh about it and act charming and still smile to the othe...

self confidence Boost Hey everyone, I just wanted to come on here to tell everyone how awesome you are! You stutter, so what? It isn't your problem, it's others problems. All of you are brave, courag...

You’re right, it does suck…but it makes us unique. I used to be so hard on myself as well and I was always so worried about what other people thought of me. One day I woke up and I decided I was going...

Laughing at your own stutter is actually very good, I do it sometimes too. It's a positive way to show people that you're not so complexed about your stutter. But laughing at it doesn't mean people c...

Laughing

Laughing Does any stutterers laugh at their own stutter? I sometimes do but I don’t know if it’s right. I laugh at myself because I keep on stuttering and have thoughts like “Nooo, I’m going to stutte...

What is the best way to face a severe-more-than-40-seconds-block stutter if it's not by doing something against it? When you finally accept it's there, what else is there to do?

if you feel invisible maybe you’re not out there talking enough. I noticed that I was doing most of the talking in class in college and graduate work, so much that eventually I decided I should let ...

Hello, fellow stutterers, I have a question for you all. Do you think there has been enough research on the stuttering that focuses upon the responses of the stutterer to the society and culture around them? I know there have been medical, therapeutic research.

I would encourage you to speak at the rate you like to speak at. Pacing or pausing can be real issues for people who stutter, but I wouldn't suggesting changing your rate if the point of that is to st...

During this time, pls dont be too harsh on yourself. Know that if people don't like you because of your stutter,thats on them. If you don't like yourself because of your stutter,you need to start look...

Unfortunately it’s obviously not socially acceptable so I would never, but if it *were* I would totally sing all the time, no more stuttering and would be good for my choral skills 🤣🤣...

That fear goes out when you accept stammering. I am a 21 year old college student, and I've accepted that I stammer. Just be confident, and accept stammering. It will help a lot more. Also, don't be ...

You need to own who you are. That means even laughing at yourself sometimes when you hit a block. I have been a stutter all my life my man. I’m currently getting married with the girl all of my friend...

Don't hate yourself, it is a pointless endeavour. Really think about it, what do you get from it? Now compare what you get out of loving yourself? ❤️...
