Definitely isn't bullshit. Learning to accept it and to stop caring what others say about it did wonders for me. It wasn't quick, took a couple years of work but most people I meet now I have no idea ...

Talk about it with your parents, talk about it with your friends. Stuttering is how you talk, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s your ‘accent’. Nothing to hide or be ashamed of!...

Self acceptance is *literally* the way to speaking fluently. Call it bullshit, but it’s the answer you are looking for...

Maybe not talk about it always but I feel like letting people know about your struggle could lead you to slowly accept it and be more at peace with it. Relieve some pressure of having to hide it for t...

I’m working on this aswell, it’s hard to talk about it because it’s something that I have always been embarrassed of. But I have talk a lot about it to my wife and she has been understanding and let’s...

I have also found that letting people know has been helping me relieve some pressure of “trying” to hide it, but it has been something that I didn’t talk about in the past. I’m 26...

Glad you liked it. :) On review a day later I thought I should add one thing: While my efforts to lean in to and own my dysfluency have helped a lot with how I feel about it in regards to feelings...

Man I get it. When something like that happens it sets you back far, but you can’t give that mind. Just keep learning to accept your stutter and yourself. Its a battle, I know, but you have to stay st...

>Is there any way to work on it, or should I fully accept it? These two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, acceptance typically correlates with essier stuttering. You can work on it, but gettin...

I’m thankful that my stutter has never gotten in the way of my romantic life. I’m also lesbian, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it? when I meet women I’m interested in, they could often ca...

Honestly accepting my stutter entirely (and after years of therapy, working my way through getting rid of the guilt/shame) has done wonders for my mental health. However, I don’t think I agree with th...

Every time I stop by this subreddit I'm amazed how we all have the exact same experiences and fears and embarrassing situations like OP but more importantly how we all deal with them internally and ex...

In Mcguire they also teach this DD. The reason why the mcguire program doesn't work for many people as they start to hide their stutter. So the goal is to be a so-called "normal speaker" Normal speake...

I've seen this video and its been helpful for me as well OP. I used to be crazy anxious about stammering as well. Long story short I've gone through some life changes and I am now in a career that re...

Because stutter **is** a part of who they are. And if they get the message that stuttering is undesirable (which they already get some society) then they get the message, when I stutter i am undesirab...

Cheer up, OP! You handled it well and truth be. It might probably happen again, but you’ll keep standing tall!...

I've been looked at like I wasn't from this world, but it's their problem to deal with. I am the way I am, if someone's not okay with that, then I simply move on. They're not worth my time anyways if ...

To be fair, most SLPs don't know much about stuttering and what they learn in grad school, if anything, is likely outdated or plain wrong. It's not an acquirable behavior. It's a neuromotor communicat...

>I feel it’s my duty as a mother to fix my stutter to help her How is you being fluent going to help her? Stuttering isn't a learned behavior. If anything she needs a role model to show her that s...

I also work in retail, have had many times where I just can’t speak, to colleagues or to customers. There’s nothing you can really do about it to cure it totally, but I’ve noticed my speaking is bette...
