I'm a military officer with a stutter. People will give you a little crap for it, but most will ignore it. If you don't let it hold you back, it won't. I noticed that once I quit caring as much about ...

No one knows. Stuttering isn’t well known and seems to be different in how it’s presented and the severity of the stutter....

A bit off topic, but I think I've only ever encountered a female stutterer in public once, many years ago. Well the other day, a female employee came to cover a shift for someone in another departmen...

I appreciate all of you, that’s for sharing your wisdom. After much consideration I’ve decided that I won’t be putting anything about it on the profile. Stuttering is part of who I am and if people ca...

Any tips on being charismatic as a stutterer?

Any tips on being charismatic as a stutterer? I have difficulties connecting to people and my guess is that essentially I'm more concentrated on being able to produce words rather than how to convey t...

So I recently just graduated high school and I’m starting to get out into the real world. I’ve had a mid to severe stutter all my life and I’m just super afraid. I don’t know if my stutter is gonna affect relationships, jobs etc... I have very low self confidence and I just need help.

My stutter is certainly part of who I am. Despite any fluency I have achieved, my stutter is an integral part of who I am. I understand the concept of "if only X was different", but that's a cop out....

Perhaps some people mistakenly see their stutter as an integral, inseparable part of who they are....

I'm pretty sure that I developed stutter because of social anxiety, not the other way round.

I'm pretty sure that I developed stutter because of social anxiety, not the other way round. Hey everyone, I have really good memory. I tend to remember stuff since when I was a kid. Before joining...

Yeah, I got a friend who has Aspergers and he really thinks he’s bad at talking to people when I honestly wouldn’t have guessed he has the condition. Recommended he goes for this ambassador job at my ...

Ive been saying this for a long time. Do you (you in a general sense) know how shitty it is as a child to see these stuttering celebrities "grow out of it" and you feel like a failure because you can...

I agree with your Joe Biden view. He didnt even consider himself a stutterer anymore until his campaign thought it was a good idea. My view is that hes a 78 year old man who has been covert for so l...

Yep. I think Biden is stuttering within his personal world/home for sure. I don't think it can be cured either. Lots of actors have it but become experts because they are "actors." I thinknwe hijac...

I 100% get what you mean, but also slightly disagree on one thing. Joe Biden’s “overcoming” it is such bullshit IMO, like I swear it’s obvious to any stammerer that he’s going around and dodging words...

Exactly. Gonna take someone to become president or uber famous to make a difference. Not the ones the "grew out of it." The ones that struggle each day to communicate are the ones I'm talking about...

Has your leadership told you it’s not working out? Are you concerned about getting fired or is it taking an emotional toll or both. I’ve gone through harsh work meetings and presentations, and rarely...

I had a very severe stutter, now my stuttering is much more situational. In terms of technique, when I was very severe I think it does help to work on breathing from the diaphragm and speaking at th...

You may not think this, but, this is proof that there isn't anything phycological wrong with you. Seriously, nothing. You stutter because your mind relates speaking to a bad incident/trauma. While you...

Thanks for reply. So are you saying that having a girlfriend helps because you are more confident and that affects also your speech?...

This is exactly my condition, i can relate so much. I also think its very closely connected with confidence. I found out that my stutter is very dependent on my state of mind, once i get anxious and f...
