This took me a while to learn but when I started mindful meditation, I learned to focus on being present and not focus on my stutter. When in a conversation, I focus on the conversation and when I ...

I noticed that too and I tried to figure out a way to "forgot" about my stuttering. It doesn't work that way. Instead the way I stopped thinking about it was by making stuttering no longer be a big de...

It hurts when family members treat us like that especially. I don't have that 'happy ending' to tell at least not at the moment; I just like the cold hard reality and I do my best to handle it as it c...

It's so rare and I'm so comfortable dealing with I consider myself a non-stutterer...

What's your description of "accepted my stutter"? What does it mean to you?...

I fully agree with everything you’re saying and have come to terms with this within myself. The stuttering itself is not the problem, it’s how I react to it. I avoid situations, I let myself get worke...

You say you accepted your stutter but it doesn’t feel like you have based on what you’ve written. I’m not trying to bash you. I’ve been where you’ve been and I sympathize with how you’re feeling. I u...

Was just gonna say this. Our stutters have had negative effects on our lives, and we can't change that. However we can accept it and move on, and try our best to NOT compare ourselves to someone who ...

This is further evidence that Stuttering is caused by a physiological deficiency and that it can be treated with appropriate medication. There are some that work now, but hopefully they can do more r...

Stuttering is a 100% a disability. The fact that you can hide it sometimes is no different than a person with limited use of their legs is able to hide it by sitting down and not walking. With that s...

“Not liking it” - that’s the element of it that is probably the only thing that will lead to more fluency. Anyone can do that for free. But read my other comment in this thread to see *how to do ...

I get your intentions are good and I'm not trying to sound too high horse'y here but This is kinda like the equivalent of saying to a poor person "you aren't rich because you didn't want it bad enough...

He basically always told me it went away when he stopped caring. I wish I could just stop caring. Easier said than done lol....

I genuinely appreciate it. I’m in my 20’s so learning to love who I am can be a struggle but I’m working on it. How old are you?...

Again, REREAD my post. Majority of the time, the jokes don’t bother me, as I always make fun of myself. But everyone is entitled to moments of sensitivity. I’m still learning to accept my stutter. Jus...

Stuttering is a funny thing. The more it bothers you the worse it is. The secret to some semblance of fluency is apathy towards stuttering. Taking the time to call this joke out in this subreddit te...

I'm glad you found what works for you. You should know that blocks are not unbreakable and you can get out of them, even if it feels like they're outside of your control. That's how I felt before and ...

Everyone is different and when you need to get a word out, whatever works for you should be acceptable. Who cares if it’s abnormal, getting your point across verbally is more important than the pressu...

I totally agree. Like I said in my post, majority of the time I welcome in the jokes and laugh at myself all the time and don’t mind my friends picking on me about it. But sometimes I get more insecur...

Hi. You can’t take things too seriously otherwise you’ll be offended at everything and it’ll end up like it is in some hellhole like North Korea or Russia , where you can’t say anything vaguely contro...
