Awesome - always makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I speak normally to strangers. A lifting of the dread....

First post and a little of positivity from me

First post and a little of positivity from me Hey guys, I'm 22M and have a slight to mild stutter which mainly consists on small blocks every sentence or two (a few longer blocks but these are rarer)....

Thanks for motivating me, will pick up my routines also! Quarantine fricked everything up, but I think I can do better than this. Thanks bud :)...

Yes definitely, some weeks I feel soo confident because I haven't stuttered much or because people haven't really picked up on it, I take the opportunity to book awaited appointments, order takeaways ...

I agree with 90% of this response however I would not categorize my stutter as a "weakness". I would categorize it as a strength because I've gained strength, courage, resilience and empathy. Thos...

Thank you so much. I'm scared of going outside my comfort zone but I will have to move when it's time. I have to make change happen. It must be nice to meet the person. No one stutters like me...

My mom stutters (not as bad as me though) and well, it sucks, but I wouldn't put off having kids for that reason. ​ 1. It might not even happen. I have siblings that don't stutter. 2. It ...

I mean, I’m gay and don’t ever want kids. But I don’t think it works like that? I don’t believe it is genetic, no one else in my family does it that I know of. Certainly not my parents. And I’m laughi...

Of course it’s a valid fear. I was worried about it too before I had my son 12 years ago, but unfortunately I don't think there's anything anyone can say to put your mind at ease. Hell, my kid talks f...

You’re Welcome, if you ever want to talk or just vent let me know. I always felt that sometimes it’s through the tension and discomfort that we grow.. which is why change is so uncomfortable in some r...

It's not just the challenge I had in mind. I guess I will try to challenge myself again. Your comment made me smile, thank you✨....

This is making me cry. Thank you so much for this thoughtful advice. It's really hard to not make it define who I am because I love talking so much and I can't even engage in what I love doing. I ...

Please, I urge you to not give up. I know it can be discouraging but you owe it to yourself to push through. I’m 25 and have stuttered my entire life.. and I let my stutter dissuade me from pursuing m...

I think you are completely spot on. I want to remedy it. I will try start the Lee course soon. I really need to fix this. I can't go on like this all my life....

More than people i care about my fluency. What do i do with this feeling that i just want to talk normally like everyone else does?...

Well u can either cry that u dont have control over it or at least try to do something. Fuck studies, if there is one study that says something i can bet that there is a study thats say the exact opos...

Hey, you're not alone. I've been in this spot as well. Feeling so isolated like no one gets me. That's what happens when we let stuttering control us for a long time.. its starts to poison our perce...

Talking to yourself is the technique to get confidence. If u can say your name 1000x to yourself u will be pretty confident to talk to other people. I was the say and this really helped me. But from t...

Man, he probably didnt care. Practice slowly speaking with yourself. Over time u will get more and more confident. I was the same. I dont want to be mean or anything but u can either stop crying and d...

Nah man why do u think this way. If u dont value yourself how will people value u? Why do u stutter ? Because u yourself make yourself nervous. Start thinking positivly that u can say things without s...
