> You're exactly the type of people that I, as a stutterer, would hate talking with. I'm sorry that you took offense to what I said. I think you're out of line saying that I was patronizing. I wa...

Partially. It depends how your speech therapist manages to build up your confidence. Effectively, it's like going to therapy for mental health issues but knowing that a therapist doesn't have a magic ...

basically "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst", like if your stutter ends up getting better that's cool, but if it doesn't you still learned how to breathe or other useful stuff ?...

First off, from this day forward love yourself more than ever. Next, anyone that has ever mocked you delete them out of your life. Trust me there are mates out there who would never mock you nor make ...

I stuttered from age 3 to age 57. I’m 59 and still fluent. This site will not allow me to say how I did it. But I did and hundreds more also....

You get out of it what you put into it. You can achieve all-day / everyday fluency. I was a severe stutterer for the first 25 years of my life. Today it takes new people I meet and work with months to...

Virtually every person stutters, no one is perfectly fluent 100% of time. That way, "is stuttering curable" is a bad question, because you won't be "perfectly" fluent ever. Big, noticeable speech bloc...

Never strive to be fluent because it’ll just lead to disappointment. I’ve learned that it’s best to manage it, because fluency comes in waves for most people...

Probably not who you're wanting to respond lol but for my high school capstone class I was a TA for a middle school math class and a science class. I didn't do a lot of teaching but I did some and I d...

Thank you! Yes, honestly I stopped thinking about whether or not I’ll stutter in certain situations and now I primarily focus on my confidence and anxiety as I’ve notice that those two things effect m...

Is it possible to become fluent one day in life?

Is it possible to become fluent one day in life? I dint want this post to turn out to be negative. But just an honest conversation. I k there is not cure for stuttering but is it possible to become f...

Good on you! Confidence is way more important than worrying on a stutter here and there. Often people say “Ummm” a lot, even though it’s not the same as a stutter, but maintaining fluid speech isn’t a...

I had the same issue when starting a new job. We had to talk into walkie talkies to communicate with each other. For about six months It mentally drained me, coming home feeling so tired with very bad...

You’ll be fine. The more you do it the easier it will get. Eventually you’ll be by yourself with no outside pressure. Keep your head up! You have support and there are people here that care about yo...

Welcome to the negative feedback loop that stuttering has :) best way to break out of it is relax and keep trying. Don’t let it get to ya....

I am very happy for you ! >So what if there's a few repeats here and there. I wish I had few repeats in my sentences, I would be much more happy and relaxed, but many times I have severe blocks o...

Just an idea

Just an idea As a man who's been stuttering since the age of two, I have a recommendation for the vocally challenged out there: call in to a local radio station you like. It's a good way to gain exper...

Hi, I think the best thing to do is not overthink your stutter, tell yourself it's a temporary lapse and don't beat yourself up when you think it sounds bad. Be patient, it may not return back to norm...

No, I don’t. My speech therapist analysed that I had a habit of constantly looking away whilst talking which really increased my stuttering, but when I maintained good eye contact, the blocks reduced ...

We break eye contact bc we feel embarrassed and ashamed. One of the first steps to confronting your stuttering head on is maintaining eye contact no matter what. It’s hard to do but work on it and it ...
