I think you get used to everything in life, sales felt impossible for me at first but now it's not even a second thought. Everything will have its trials and tribulations if it's worthwhile and non s...
Brother I live in Spain and Spanish people talk to me in English! I try to laugh about it and pretend I’m from different nationalities with different accents. Not the ideal outcome but at least try to...
Current personal break though
Current personal break though Hi all, Male, 35. I wanted to share some good news—and maybe some hope for others. I have stuttered my whole life. I’ve had great fluency and awful fluency over the year...
I love this! How perception and cognitive reframing can really change results. It’s how we think about things. I find it so remarkable that Winston Churchill stuttered, but at some point he realized t...
Not cringey at all - just a very apt thought. You're right, of course. If you can't change it, why worry?...
I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone a lot more since Monday that has helped quite a lot. In my line of work I have a few clients who I’m quite comfortable with and I don’t stutter or have ...
I don't care at all anymore because I know it's harmless and they're just trying to be nice and they don't understand....
You can figure it out yourself, leave no stone unturned. Be skeptical of ALL advice, explore everything and use/refine or discard. It took me until mid-40s but I got there....
If people find fluency enhancing strategies like this successful, by all means! I just think that more often than not, this can mask our true speech patterns and is not sustainable long term. It’s eas...
Some people want to sound more fluent and that’s totally fine. I’m more in the camp of reducing struggle, because sounding like a fluent person isn’t realistic IMO. But, some combo of desensitization ...
That is true and mostly aligns to my experience except I still want to fix it, i.e. be as fluent as possible. Sometimes it doesn't matter how desensitised and not-tense I am, I need to get words out i...
Kinda cringy but I wrote this to myself yesterday and I hope it can help someone out there to not worry so much about their speech because guess what: it doesn't change a goddamn thing.

Stuttering? Better because with age, I kinda realized.. “No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.” — Alan Watts...
Sticks and stones...and then there's guns. Don't get ahead of yourself. There is a funny meme where a snake bites a man and rather than focusing on getting rid of the venom they run after the snake ...
And yet it could be the truth. Why do we not stutter severely when alone? Even hitting a stutter reading out loud alone, how easy is it to get past it? There is no pressure, what else is there but ...
It's something I could never do again once i started stuttering the next day again. It was the first time I felt such a placebo effect to that extent. It was back in high school if I remember correc...
Once I got through the situation the most I accepted it was “sometimes my speaking isn’t perfectly smooth” and I tried not to add any feelings or thinking to any non-fluent speaking situation. I remov...
Nah, I was 230 pounds last year and I was miserable. I haven't been made fun of in years, but if anyone gets short with me I don't care anymore. I'm too old to want to fight anyone, I don't care that ...
It’s GREAT that you’ve recognized it’s based on anxiety. Took me 24+ years to accept that fact. The moment I did, my fluency took a 180. Like others said, acknowledge it’s just anxiety and not a perso...
You get comfortable with your stutter. Let it all out. Expose yourself to new situations. Learn not to care, learn that it is apart of you and you can’t change it. It’s gonna hurt at first, but it’ll ...
