This is it, and these are the cards we’ve been dealt. The moments when I hate stammering the most are the ones that I remind myself that it doesn’t have to be as permanent or as bad as it is now. My s...

This is how I am. You say you’re comfortable with them and explain they’ve never brought it up. You can be yourself with them, so you’re all natural. We all have different mindsets about how we handle...

It's hard but you will get over it and love yourself no matter what. I am at 36 and still figuring it out and may never do it - who knows 🤷‍♂️ But don't stop loving yourself.....

That's the spirit! :) I am currently in my first year of university and the presentations/giving answers in class definitely feels daunting, but with a positive attitude and optimistic outlook on your...

It can be depressing…it was for me as well but it was also kind of a relief. I was able to accept that’s who I was that’s who I am, I can’t hide it, i’m going stutter my whole life. It’s difficult b...

Same as you I switch out words that are easier to say. I try to just say what’s on my mind now especially with friends. Most of them realize I got a stutter so they’re patient. I also feel comfortable...

What weird timing for you to post this!! I was walking home from the gym a few minutes ago and was proudly thinking to myself, “I don’t ever substitute words anymore.” I used to always substitute word...

You're on the right path of trying to say the words you want regardless if you stutter or not. I used to have a million avoidance tactics but I felt like it really watered down my personality and tu...

I get exactly what you mean, that feeling of dread as you can't do anything but stay quiet. However, your answer really motivates me, I also want to do well in class and no matter if I stutter or not,...

Working as a welder. Doing alot of talking in my daily work and since I do that I belive my stutter has become much better. I dont mind it that much now, and my co workers know that im stuttering and ...

I am getting more and more used to be my stutter these days and thank you i am gonna keep at it and become better 💪💪...

I think rushing speech is to do with feeling pressured by the person your talking to. Once you’ve accepted your stutter and you realise that you can’t avoid it, you start gaining confidence and natura...

I’m a deputy, honestly it does have an impact. Coworkers know about it, people I come in contact with know about it, but honestly it doesn’t change much. I just do what I do and don’t take anything pe...

I have a moderate stutter and I've been a electrician and signal electrician for 15 years. No one cares how I talk. They just care that what they want fixed is fixed haha. As long as you can do your ...

I’m an electrician’s apprentice I stutter over the radio and face to face often, but I tell myself that the goal in communication is to let another person know what I’m thinking. So as long as I can a...

I work in healthcare, talking with patients, their families, and other medical professionals all day. Every morning I tell myself, “I don’t mind, so it doesn’t matter.”...

Yup, I've definitely been there. Talking to some people is exhausting sometimes. I'd rather just keep my mouth shut at times, and that's okay, you're allowed to do that. You don't have to engage in co...

So you’re saying, by definition, the core anxiety is the bit which is unchangeable for the most part? In that case, I’d say my core anxiety was much smaller than I originally thought it was 10 years ...

I’m currently in the Marine Corps w/ a stutter (obviously), but like everyone else said just have a thick skin and just embrace the suck. Best of luck...

But do they work on decreasing fluency? I understood this meme as commentary on acceptance rather than trying to blend in to conventional speech. But I could be simply confused....
