I don’t think we should be calling things unattractive. Especially if it’s out of your control. That’s not up to us to jump to conclusions as it’s super subjective. Speech can be a factor for attracti...

Of course stuttering is not attractive. No secret there. The better someone speaks, the more charming they are. But so what? Confidence is a much bigger factor. And a lot of stutterers lack confiden...

Ohh, alcohol. That was my relief for couple of years. Drank every single time I went out with friends, lunch, events, picnics. It made my anxiety and fear go away making me feel more comfortable and c...

Alcohol is not a solution. Yes, it may be a relief or a quick fix, but it is not a feasible long term solution. Hence, don’t drink alcohol BECAUSE of your stutter, drink alcohol for whatever other rea...

On the flip side, I am a woman. Egg donors earn a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars! I thought about it but never actually submitted an application or anything for this exact reason. The scre...

I'm personally not having kids because I don't want to pass this on to anyone else but I totally understand the reasoning to want to have the despite it. If a scientific cure comes about I would but u...

True! I’d like to think that if I do have kids one day and one of them has a stutter I would never let them feel like they’re below anyone. I feel like I’ve already felt the world on my shoulders with...

I’d love a copy, I need to accept my speech. I think that’s much more reasonable than me buying into any of these programs that make wild promises about dramatically improved fluency....

Peer review research cost money and who shall pay for it? There are a lot of success stories and before / after videos which confirms it. I have also been through this and can confirm it works. Some...

Glad that worked out for you. If you do it regularly for 1 month, you'll find it easier and easier to intiate and hold converations with anyone, even strangers. Voluntarily stuttering simply reinforce...

it depends on my whole mood - if i'm having a bad day i'll go for the easy option and get something that i can say, if i have a good day ill usually say a few words before the dish i want to order to ...

Okay!!! I will do this. My stutter is 90% just blocks, so this will be something fresh. Maintaining eye contact is something I find crucial as well. I already practiced today and felt great. It’s a ...

When I was at school, I used to avoid saying words which would make me stutter. I used to stay silent rather than running the risk of stuttering, but not anymore. Take care not to stutter, but if it ...

Thank you for the kind words. I am fortunate I’m able to get out and do stuff but even with these hobbies, I’m at the point where doing them alone is becoming more and more hazardous and it’s difficul...
