POEM “proud to stutter”

POEM “proud to stutter” i’m proud to stutter it wasn’t always this way. stuttering was a consistent and major source of shame for most of my life. i hated it and went to great lengths to hide it. i o...

You don’t need to speak “properly” to have human connections. I’m pretty sure people with other conditions such as having a hearing impairment can get by. You just need people who can show you empathy...

There are people who have changed their name because it was too hard for them to say. In most cases, they began having trouble in their new name as well. It's usually not the letter that's the issue, ...

Perhaps you need to redefine what you mean by “ruin the whole thing”. When I think of what it means to “ruin” something, I think of destruction, and this only happens in a conversation when something...

I wish most people embrace their stutter rather than victimize themselves....

You are most definitely overthinking it! But that’s ok. It’s understandable. We all can and have been guilty of over-thinking. For too long my very mild stutter held me back for years until I decided ...

At 42, I don't think it ever will. I've just accepted it. I hate that I have it, but until there's brain surgery made available to fix it, it's here to stay. I guess people don't tend to notice it in...

Totally understand that! Phone calls are so stressful especially to people you don’t know and it makes it even tougher for people who stutter. Let us know how you did! I have to keep on reminding myse...

I think the first and huge step to do is acceptance, not as something that will last forever but like some kind weak side to work on and improve, everyone has these bigger, lesser, noticeable not noti...

I personally agree with this. It feels like picking the first option is putting a bandaid on our insecurities; it is a temporary solution. Of course, being completely carefree is not always practical ...

it's not caring because when you're free to be yourself you have confidence with confidence comes improve speaking with confidence comes the ability to attract others. basically what i'm saying you c...

Speaking fluently would make me more carefree and remove lot of barriers and I would choose that every time and then try to build confidence myself, but since it's about confidence only then being car...

Most would choose fluency of speech, and that's not a bad choice at all. But again, it attaches us to the fantasy of being free of "completely" stuttering. Whereas opting for being carefree is a more ...

You know, i find your answer really on the point, great explanation, i totally agree! If only we could manage that part of ourselves that need acceptance easily...

That’s great that you’re talking a lot, congrats on the first day! It is kinda a fight with ourself but also about becoming one with ourself so we feel a sense of harmony...

On day one with assessment, discuss with parents the possibility that he/she may stutter for life; and will be just fine if he/she does…...

So do you mean that you are having blocks? I imagine that if you don’t notice it then you aren’t blocking that much. If you’re not very self conscious about your stuttering then what else do you hav...

I could be wrong but that sounds great that you don’t notice your own disfluency. Why not just keep going with that? Everything seems to be working well for you. If you haven’t been focused on your st...

I developed a stutter when I was 13, so not mid or late teens. To be completely honest, I don't have a clear cause for it, but it sucked at the time. Now it's just normal to me. I think maybe seeing a...
