Can confirm. Some people reach that state earlier, some later, but it doesn't need to be rushed and will come naturally. I'm 23 just like OP and I don't care about being "normal". It's a subjective th...

I know you’re right. I’ve been too emotional to be logical about this. More than likely, these people have never come across a stutterer in their life. Of course they come to these conclusions. I re...

For me it's really about finding who you are being being confident in who you are. Banishing that concept of ‘normal’ is a step I am working towards in my mind....

Hello I’m an Eric too - 53yo stutterer. One thing that helped me was having a simple but challenging long term goal that provided me with something to focus on and lose myself in. It made the many F...

Welcome Eric. I know how you feel and I hope this group helps you feel a bit less alone. I think all of us stutterers go through similar feelings, for what it’s worth. Things that help me are regula...

I went into a career in logistics and am now making more money than a lot of the other people in my company because my performance doesn’t rely on my voice all that much. I know a lot of advice with s...

It’s good to get it all out, and I feel the same sometimes. But remember that no matter how bad our problems may be, others may have problems that are worse that we just don’t know about. Even if the...

Ok so I stutter, badly at times and I feel this but try to remember that we have ZERO idea what they are thinking, feeling or experiencing. I am married to my partner who is socially anxious. It is ...

Hi there I’m just got done with two years of college and I’ve stuttered my whole life. Going to college as a stutter was one of the most scary things, the professors don’t care about really anything...

Steve Harvey’s advice is to say it three times in your head first before you say it out loud. I’ve become almost a pro at finding an synonym for the word that I feel myself start to stutter. Also I...

I’ve been stuttering my whole life, and when your internal monologue doesn’t match how your voice comes out it is very frustrating. The harder you fight it the harder you stutter but this is where I’m...

This is very common. I’m the same. I think maybe our brains process speech and actual communication differently. Hence it’s more a communication disorder than a speech disorder. For instance, if you’r...

There's no absolute cure, but here's what has made my stutter a lot more manageable (from the perspective of 20 year old who doesn't have access to speech therapy, but has had a stutter all their life...
