Oh I’m not silent. I say yes to every speaking thing and try my best to build a bullet proof mentality especially around my speech, which is arguably my biggest insecurity. But stuttering didn’t help ...

Speaking only for myself, stuttering has not really made me a better person. I am kinda over sensitive and take criticism very poorly. I have to actively rethink every criticism so that I can make the...

How stuttering made me a better person

How stuttering made me a better person Like a lot of you, I deal with the frustration, anxiety, and depression of stuttering. It doesn't define who I am, but only controls me if I allow it. These are ...

James Earl Jones. The voice of one of the best villains ever and a worldwide network: Darth Vader and CNN. He overcame severe stuttering. I think of the courage it takes, then imagine Vader's line...

No, because there’s a good chance I won’t stutter and it will seem weird. Also, saying you stutter puts that in the universe and begins to define you as a PWS first and foremost. IMHO I’m so much mor...

Don’t let stuttering define you for something you cannot do. I’m 47 and have been a professional industrial designer for 25 years, including a project manager and consultant for the past 10 years. St...

> Careful that you don't buy into mainstream tropes too much in your self-understanding. Stuff like "inherent", "genetics", "extrovert", "introvert" and "born that way" is not really helpful. It of...

What’s awful is you met that one speech therapist. You also have to consider for the majority of SLP life, non-stutterers were teaching them! Relying on kids to do intervention is a way to try and be ...

Reinforce your feelings, even if you stutter, you are: 1. innocent 2. valuable 3. safe 4. strong You came up to here with your stutter, life goes on....

In a way it _is_ our responsibility. But that's just in the general sense of taking care of ourselves. If we have a problem, we should deal with it. This doesn't mean it's our fault, it just means the...

I am not sure if stuttering comes From anxiety/shyness - I think it CAN be, but observing my 9 year old kid who stutters, I don’t think always. He is a super-confident chatterbox who barely notices th...

Should Speech Be Viewed As A Skill To Be Built?

Should Speech Be Viewed As A Skill To Be Built? Here's a question I've been thinking about for a long time. I've stuttered ever since I was a kid. I think my stuttering is largely anxiety/confidence...

Maybe a bit harsh yes. But as someone who is interested and works in the field of psychiatry I get the feeling that the man behind this post is a bad, bad guy. The whole post just screams that he has...

I personally make these mistakes as well, sometimes I try to rush through a word or a sentence. I am mostly fine, but it still happens to me sometimes especially if I try to talk quickly or I am nervo...

As someone with a degree in political science and a stutterer myself, there is a difference between Biden’s stutter and his straight up incoherent statements. His “corn pop” gaff has little to do with...

In my experience, stutter in itself doesn't matter at all....

I understand and 100% agree, but my point was to point out how people can misinterpret a speech impediment with mental disability or low intelligence....

I, most likely, live in a different country than you, so the situation might be different. I developed a stutter at that age, it didn't go away. In my experience, local, general speech therapists ar...

I'm not for this. I don't think a national awareness campaign has anything to do with anything. I don't care if people have no clue about it, it's not my business to tell them about anything. I'm livi...

If it helps at all, I’m currently 16 in secondary school with a stutter. It’s not the worst stutter in the world but it’s still not good either. I have been laughed at before, it happens, but not as m...
