The only way to speak without stuttering I've seen is to speak like a robot. Controlled tone, controlled inflection and voicing. If you're worried about the ridicule you'll get from being yourself and...

Same here. I look serious and intimidating (according to family and a few friends). I would rather people think that I'm hard (personality wise) than appear as an anxiety ridden nervous wreck when I ...

When I was younger my stutter hurt me a lot. I often asked myself 'Why do I stutter?'I hated it. I did anything to hide it. A lot of shame! But when I get older I learn to deal with it. Learn to acce...

It's awkward... true. But don't let it get you. And that's easy to say, I know. But try it. It's their problem if they can't handle it. A year ago my husband and I are watching at the tv and someone ...

Do you change what words you use if you know you are going to stutter?

Do you change what words you use if you know you are going to stutter? For example, you say mother/sister/brother instead of their actual names and other alternative ways to say what you mean although...

I'm 17 and also a stutterer, it's gotten so bad that, I mostly just sit there during class and listen to the class but I never raise my hand, even when I know the answer. It's really stupid. I absolut...

Hey man, fellow stutter-er here, I've been in the same boat. Sometime my stutter is so bad I just don't speak to anyone. Or if I have too its minimal words. Especially around girls I get the biggest f...

My SLP told me she once had a client who was over 50 years old who finally came to see her because they were sick of feeling like a dishonest person. Their spouse of 20 or so years and children had n...

I think it's more of a selective confirmation loop. I stuttered a lot in high school and when I see friends I haven't seen in years, they don't even remember I stuttered until we met up again. Then th...

Being a stutterer means NOBODY will take you seriously.

Being a stutterer means NOBODY will take you seriously. In the back of everyone's mind, you will always be known as the "guy who stutters" and just like that, you have instant negative status in the ...

A big issue I've come across as a person who stutters: If he needs to take care of something that could be done over the phone but would rather drive to the place it's because he's terrible on the pho...

I advise you to try and act as if it doesn't exist or at least don't pay too much attention to it. Good or bad. Because even when someone tries to tell me its ok, I understand, I suddenly become aware...

Start small bro. I have always been quiet my entire life and was lacking hugely on relationship/social skills. I also hate social settings and anything to do with people. Id recommend frequenting a c...

The one about the guy/girl that is mute. Some people get kicked out of a raid if they don't hear anybody talking. Sometimes I'm not having a fluent day so I don't get on my mic or I just stay quiet ...

When you're asked your name in class and you give a fake one close to your real one cause it's easier to say

When you're asked your name in class and you give a fake one close to your real one cause it's easier to say Happened to me in class today, no big deal because it was a guest speaker, and people might...

Today was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless!

Today was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless! I'm a senior in high school, and I was in English class today. English has always been my least favorite class only because we have to read out lo...

It's never easy for us, we all know that. I get depressed too from time to time, but as I get older I learned how to live with it. Small things that boost my confidence can have a huge impact on my ov...

Well I will tell you what I did, and it worked out for me. I got a job out of college doing some IT consulting, and it sucked because of lots of bosses and peers and new clients all the time and phon...

Ignoring the matter doesn't make it go away. On the contrary, it gives it more authority over us. Just look at all the kids who group up stuttering and their parents just ignored it so as not to bring...

"Accepting the problem" just made it worse for me. (Moderate glitches)

"Accepting the problem" just made it worse for me. (Moderate glitches) I wrote much more, but it's gone because I accidentally pressed F5, but my point is, don't be thinking about it. Like, you know i...
