Really? Ah, I'm glad that to share this could bring you comfort. I was hesitant to post at first, partly because I am embarrassed of recording myself speaking spontaneously, and partly because I thoug...

Life long stutterer here. My advice is to keep in mind what people actually care about. What people care about is not how much you stutter or are “fluent” but rather how confidently you communicate an...

If your stutter is mild then it’s beneficial to just let yourself not get bothered by it, and not hide it. Because if you start becoming self conscious and sensitive to your stutter, your subconscio...

It does not matter at all. If you do stutter, you were comfortable before. Now someone pointed it out and you're self conscious which I understand but there is literally nothing different about you. I...

Growing up, I was taught to be ashamed. I was taught that fluency equaled happiness and acceptance. So I chased fluency into my 30s. Precision Fluency Shaping gave me good fluency for a year, and I wa...

As of right now there is no solution. It's not my thesis. It's general scientific consciousness that it's all the brain. Every person's stutter is different as well. I think desensitization, gen...

I think you should show attentiveness in whatever way you normally would if you were speaking to a non stutterer. So as much eye contact as would feel normal for you. As long as you’re still showing t...

The sexual marketplace is brutal. Stuttering is a sign of incompetence and generally the more incompetent you are the less ‚successful’ you are in the vicious cockfight that is dating. I think a hug...

I agree with this. It’s easier or harder depending on the severity of your stutter but it seems like girls are intrigued when you’re not weird about your stutter. Like they find it charming in a way. ...
