I understand. I’ve been assessed before and told I’m at a 37% fluency, and for most of my life I’ve oscillated between radical acceptance and pits of despair because I know I have to deal with my stut...

I have to just nervous laugh once I get out of my block or sputter whatever like we had been having a jovial interaction whether we had been or not, say oh yeah I talk like this or yeah I stutter haha...

I cured my stammering naturally – here's how I did it without any expensive therapy

I cured my stammering naturally – here's how I did it without any expensive therapy Hi everyone, I just wanted to share something very close to my heart. I used to stammer badly — even saying my name ...

Completely and wholeheartedly agree. The day I found peace was accepting that my stutter was outside of my control and therapy would not help me become more fluent. I still stutter. I just don’t care ...

I remember going for a job interview and I got stuck on a word for a good minute. After that there was an awkward 30 sec silence and they said thank you for coming in. That shit still pokes my mental ...

I fully agree. No one likes to be honest about this, but OP had a child knowing fully well that they have a stutter and that it is a genetic thing. A genetic thing that is highly likely to be passed o...

Yeah, it’s like a punch in the gut when you’re in a stuttering space but most of the people there have significantly less severe stutters than you…. Especially when someone with a really mild stutter ...

I understand you bro the emotions you are going through, i have also been through this. The interviews, the shame and the depression. But never give up hope. I also have a mild stutter, mainly plosi...

For me, it’s self-acceptance. I had speech therapy into my late twenties and it didn’t help my moderate stutter. But at some point, I decided I was just going to do as much public speaking as possible...

Growing up my stutter was so bad that my childhood friend would "translate" what I said to other people. I somehow improved in the stuttering area over time without any speech therapist or therapy, b...

No, it’s a literal disability by the ADA….all speech impediments are disabilities by the ADA. A disability is anything that negatively affects major aspects in life more than the average person. Since...

I feel blessed that after a lifetime of stuttering I don’t stutter anymore. It was definitely helpful that I am a speech pathologist. I understood the dynamics of speech and the reason for my stutter....

I want to cry and get angry when people call it "cute" or that they're attracted to it. It's like calling someone who's in a wheelchair cute. It's making fun of the disability....

He probably doesn't realize he's doing it, not that that makes it better. Next time just ask him what's funny, see if he stops. Anyway, I've noticed I laugh a lot less at extremely normal/small/vaguel...

Wait until he grows up and stuttering becomes his biggest insecurity , and hates his life ....

people laughing at your stutter

people laughing at your stutter Every time I speak and a stutter occurs, my boss immediately laughs. It’s not a loud laugh. It’s more of a chuckle. It seems like he does it because he’s uncomfortable/...

I know for some people here this might be an unpopular comment; but I joined the McGuire Programme two years ago and it helped me tremendously, as it did many many other people who I meet in the progr...

I agree wholeheartedly with this post, I feel embarrassed when I take 10-60 seconds just to say a single word/sentence in public with my family. I used to be so fluent and extroverted back then that I...

Struggling with Studying and Life – Feeling Hopeless

Struggling with Studying and Life – Feeling Hopeless Hi everyone, I’m a 22-year-old woman currently in my second year of pharmacy school, and I stutter. It’s not extremely severe — sometimes I can sp...

Todos os tipos de gagueira são ruins e nenhum tipo é melhor que o outro, mas o bloqueio na fala coloca você em uma situação mais embaraçosa e estranha do que outros tipos de gagueira....
