To be fair , OP said speak freely, not stutter less. I guess you can interpret that however you want...

that's what I thought too. it was weird. when they videoed me on my first day I hardly stuttered. even on my name....

Not caring about anyone is not the solution, tbh when I stutter it sucks but I just laugh it off, at the end of the day no one will make of you more than yourself, so better to not give it the chance....

I completely agree with you. Growing up, I stuttered equally in all situations—it didn’t matter who I was speaking to. Even when I was alone, I still stuttered the same way. As I got older, I practice...

I disagree it's ok to stutter. You do not want to stutter in the real world. I don't like this new trend of accepting that it is "cool" or "ok" to stutter. And if you're male especially, trust you do ...

Confidence- it's very easy to say but so difficult to actually do. I spent 7 years working in a different country and my confidence soared. As a result, my stutter almost completely disappeared. I mov...

I understand what you’re saying, but saying that “great people overcome adversity” does kind of imply that those who can’t or choose not to are the opposite. When people stop treating me in a way th...

There are still many great people who stutter who have overcome adversity from stuttering AND openly stutter, and i think that's OP's point. And to continue that point, unfortunately we don't see that...

No one was calling you weak. You're setting up some false dichotomies here. Because I advocate for fluency, doesn't mean it's the only narrative out there. I never said I was against acceptance. Jus...

I believe as what birdcore has posted that once you are in that mindset of I do not give a fuck mentality that it reduces the pressures and stresses off a PWS a great amount. It might not "cure" stut...

Not at all, I just don’t think it’s fair that this is the only narrative people choose to push. I have nothing against those who want to alleviate their stutter but also they shouldn’t feel forced int...

You see enemies where there are none. It sounds like you are taking your discomfort with your fluency and attributing it towards others. Stuttering isn't wrong. But it is an impediment. If you can...

what's your definition of great people and are celebrities considered great people? My take is that celebrities have big egos, and it's a story that sounds good. The fact is that 85% of children gro...

It makes our voices more palettable for fluent people if we “overcome” our stutters, so they won’t even give us a seat at the table in the first place if we choose to stutter freely....

Because great people overcome adversity. Stuttering is a detriment. I don't think anyone here would argue otherwise. It is 100% ok to stutter. But being able to manage or reduce one's stutter is gen...

And this community isn’t fooling him into thinking there is no hope as they are literally telling him to try and accept it....

To get better at speaking I stopped giving a fuck. All these speaking techniques were just making me more anxious, which in turn heightened my stutter. I stopped worrying and trying to cure myself and...

There’s no official cure (i.e., treatment) for stuttering recovery, but some people do experience stuttering remission under certain conditions, like practicing desensitization, mindfulness, or making...

This could be some hormone issue too, get your testosterone levels checked once. The best way to cure stutter is let it be, don't fight it trust me it'll get worse...

No it's not. It's the same if someone is obese or too skinny. To gain or to lose weight, it takes time and effort, and if you stop, it may go back. The same with stutter. You either accept it, or do s...
