I wasted over 15 years of my life hiding from everything because I couldn’t talk. I was sick of being looked at like I was mentally challenged. Jobs wouldn’t hire me. I’m 40 years old and I think I’m ...

It bothers me because an extension of that idea is that people that aren’t relaxed tend to be lower in the social ranks. However I have found that taking a deep breath and being relaxed does help wi...

I rolled my eyes so hard during a NSA meeting where speakers called stuttering a "gift" and a "blessing". To me, it's a complete nightmare...

I’m still figuring it out myself, but i’ve managed it better as i’ve gotten older. I just accept it and think to myself that I won’t let something that’s really out of my control hold me back and I’ll...

Well welcome to the club. Imagine if you were a short man, a minority, a woman, disabled, or any other perceived disadvantaged class. You described some of the things that others experience too except...

I feel bad quoting Kanye these past couple years but yeah, "Everything im not made me everything I am" is just too perfect of an explanation regarding stuttering/anxiety...

This was very useful. You took the words right out of my head. I use to feel the same but as I got older, I start to see the strength in my ability not to speak fluently....

I often feel this way on the inside, when I am by myself. Maybe my advice will be "cringe" or not very useful. Actually, the thing that helps me to not feel like I lost something is to take that feeli...

Same happened to me! I stopped using my tricks and it started returning. But isn’t it good to know we now have the tools?...

Someone with a stutter just want some kind of “normal” fluency. Never chasing the perfection, of course....

I went to speech therapy twice as a kid and once as an adult. I was almost totally fluent while in the room, which felt amazing! There was a Subway next to the office and I'd walk over to get a sand...

I think it’s true that our attitude as well as focusing on stuttering can influence our tone and intonation, etc. to not be as playful and lighthearted. You just have to relax and not be as hard on yo...

I felt the same way for years. I hated my stutter and myself when I stuttered. Even though all the fluent people said "it's OK, its just the way you talk, take your time, my relative had a stutter et...
