Any tips for a severe stutterer?

Any tips for a severe stutterer? My stutter has had a huge effect on my life. I went to a speech therapist when I younger and that helped a good bit with public speaking (reading off a script), but in...

Holy mother of God. People ask me why I whisper to people who are right next to me, and I've just now realized that I do it to avoid my stutter. How did I never recognize that?...

Couldn't have put it better myself. Maybe everyone else is just really good at hiding it? Because they seem to be happy and I'm here just struggling to keep going through this. ...

Ah, lucky. Reading through your posts I see you're a Trump supporter too, as am I. I saw a post from two years ago stating your were 18, so I'm assuming that was a lie and you are actually 22? Making ...

Life's not going to be easy. You will be discriminated against because of your stutter. You won't get jobs and promotions because of it. People will laugh at you and think you're slow. It was one of...

It never did anything for me either. I spent years agonizing over trying to find a 'cure' or at least some help, and then I came to the realization that it wasn't going to go away. We're stuck with th...

That is awesome. One thing...your description doesn't sound like my understanding of covert stuttering. I guess you yourself are covert, but your stuttering sounds overt. In my experience covert st...

Covert, as in, you're just silent for the most part? :)...

Yes, we get it. Most of us have lived with it our entire lives. You either get used to seeming strange to people when you have blocks or become silent. My stutter is mild to moderate, usually I'll s...

And also do not think about it that much, most of it will go away. Thinking about it a lot might make it worse in the long run, so just settle with a habit that you think it helps and be done with it....

It's got to do with what we could call "donning a mask". Problem is, as soon as you get too acquainted with that "mask", the stuttering can jump right back in. More generally, there are many differen...

Keep busy with other stuff and don't think about it too much. If it's mild then whatever. God knows that would've done wonders for me if someone told me that when I was 15...

that's pretty annoying. I have a very obvious stutter and it sometimes takes me a while to get out a drink order, but I generally don't have this problem. Usually when im ordering, I compose myself an...

Ordering Alcohol w/ A Stutter

Ordering Alcohol w/ A Stutter I was wondering if it was just me or has anyone else experienced this. I have a stutter, not terrible, but noticeable none the less. Sometimes i'm out at the bars with fr...

How long does it take to feel like therapy is helping?

How long does it take to feel like therapy is helping? I have been stuttering since I learned how to speak. Keeping this post short and simple, I have recently begun therapy and its been a decade sin...

I had such an embarrassing day...

I had such an embarrassing day... Hello, I just recently discovered this sub and I'm posting here because I have a bad stutter problem and today it got so bad I didn't even tell anyone what had happen...

Promotions and the stress that comes with it.

Promotions and the stress that comes with it. Hey everyone, This is my first post in this subreddit. Much love. I've stuttered all my life and I just turned 29. It didn't really bother me until goin...

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I'm as charming as it gets with people I'm comfortable with at work, but new people, I just drown in anxiety with the oncoming introduction. ...

Oh my god, this sounds like my worst nightmare. This past summer I worked a job that involved making a ton of phone calls, but luckily, I was in a separate office from my supervisor, so the only perso...

Yeah, I don't think it's really true personally, but it's better than people telling me something is wrong with me, so when people tell me this, I just smile and thank them. ...
