Of course stuttering is not attractive. No secret there. The better someone speaks, the more charming they are. But so what? Confidence is a much bigger factor. And a lot of stutterers lack confiden...

I’m sure we’ve all had bad interviews, however the important part is to keep trying and pushing. You got this, even if you don’t get it, don’t give up....

I know the logic is flawed, my brain just jumped to a bad conclusion that I’m not “wanted” if that makes sense. The music stuff is awesome though! It’s so cool how one thing led to another with you an...

You got this! It can be a painful moment to be in, but they’ll be able to see through it and evaluate your actual qualifications. If not, you’re better off without them anyway.....

Alcohol is not a solution. Yes, it may be a relief or a quick fix, but it is not a feasible long term solution. Hence, don’t drink alcohol BECAUSE of your stutter, drink alcohol for whatever other rea...

Hello OP. I have a stutter. I am 39 years old and I’ve had it since I was ten. My father had a very very mild stutter (mine is much worse) and I had seizures when I was very young (around ages 1-2) an...

Went back to speech therapy and improved my fluency. I was able to achieve and maintain a high level of fluency. I'm not without blocks, but now new coworkers might not know I stutter at all....

On the flip side, I am a woman. Egg donors earn a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars! I thought about it but never actually submitted an application or anything for this exact reason. The scre...

I think you've reached a great level of awareness and you're ready to reach fluency more often. In my opinion what you've realized is that you have more of a social anxiety problem, not so much a stu...

I was a severe stutterer until I got fluent in my mid 20s. I have three kids. 18yo is on a full ride at a top university. 14yo twins are both doing incredible. None of them stutter. \----- As to ...

True! I’d like to think that if I do have kids one day and one of them has a stutter I would never let them feel like they’re below anyone. I feel like I’ve already felt the world on my shoulders with...

Ye I get it, but you gotta look at the positives in life. If your child is a stutterer at least that will be something you two can bond over....

A stutter should not stop you from anything, that includes having children. There’s definitely a chance your children will have a stutter…but so what? Teach them to love themselves and to not let thei...

There was a boy who transferred to our class in 8th grade who would never talk or contribute to the lesson. After half a year I chatted him up in the bus on our way to school one morning because he al...

Yes, it has helped. It has helped me to make more fluency memories in my brain. If I don't stutter (which I don't while reading aloud) I will eventually get more fluency memories than stutter memories...

First of all, I did hit the rock bottom. I am dad now and could not ask for basic stuff for my kid!! Someone told me about Lee's book and I checked it out. I went "all in" and decided this was my 24/7...

That is only temporary. You need to know some of them at least, but you don't use them that much after a while. I rarely uses any of them now. In my opinion that is not a big thing so I don't understa...

Speech therapy helps but it’s not a cure. I tried speech therapy when I was 14. I learned the basic relaxation exercises and techniques. But as a teenager I was like, “this won’t work”! I tried for a ...

hey I’m 23F if you ever wanna talk or have a friend! I had a depressive phase earlier this year and last year where I felt the same. I wasn’t confident in my personality and felt it was better to just...

I understand. My stutter is quite severe as well. Everyday is a mental battle. But it’s one you can win. Please don’t allow it to stop you from enjoying life....
