I probably made a fool of myself but weirdly I'm proud of it

I probably made a fool of myself but weirdly I'm proud of it Last week I attended an international workshop in a foreign country. At the beggining of the workshop they asked everyone to introduce them...

My advice is, just say you have a stutter. It really helps. Oddly, I don’t stutter when speaking in front of groups. But I definitely do when speaking one on one with people. In my experience, if ...

Yeah, I barely stutter any more. Just the very occasional block in very rare specific situations. It's all about headspace...

No solutions at all, just accept it and go on. The more you get exposed to stuttering the less you care about it. There are thousands of people stuttering and building a better world. Don't let you ...

I can say I’m 100% cured… I had it very bad in my early 20s. Every social interaction was absolute torture. I finally got past it when I was about 26. As I learned, part of what cured me was when I st...

I’m a speech language pathologist that is a clinic director at the place I work at. I had a bad day fluency wise today. Stuttered talking to my employees. Stuttered talking to patients and their famil...

Yeah, I have a similar experience. I used to think that that “blocking” is just a type of stutter that I have, but since I started attending stuttering support group I noticed that I stutter freely in...

Hey Thank you for your reply. I actually forgot to mention my age, I’m 34 years old, I’m going to edit the post actually. At the moment I can’t really get a SPD(Speech Doctor, I believe it’s called li...

Your experiences are very similar to mine, in terms of the initial blocks, physical tension and the impact of social anxiety. I also stuttered much less after a couple of drinks, but I’m glad I didn’...

Best thing we can do in these kind of scenarios is just to laugh at yourself, to not take yourself too seriously, because people will immediately relax around you and respect you more if you can walk ...

"Contempt, disdain" really?  Are we living in an apocalyptic LA or something?  People aren't inherently aggressive, they're understanding and look at us as anyone else, its not the 1800's, they see a ...

Its very common among stutterers.  You can probably say your name a thousand times over alone or when it doesn't matter but during introductions or when the brain thinks its more.meaningful and begins...

i also stutter and started speech therapy more than a year ago. One thing my speech therapist recomended me was to just outright tell people you meet that you have a stutter. because often times when ...

So it would be better for every date every stutterer meets to just think “well fuck, this is inconvenient and hard to communicate so I’m just done”, rather than try and understand and give it a chance...

Keep the faith. My dad was a stutterer and my folks were married for over 50 years.I’m a stutterer and my wife and I have been married for 27 years. Stuttering is like any challenge in life. Love wins...

You’re seeing it like they’re only going for the outside. “Pretty boys who don’t stutter get all the girls” is wrong. There are plenty of people who stutter who have a girlfriend/boyfriend (yes, women...

I wouldn't bring it up, let him bring it up. And he is doing mental gymnastics constantly every minute of everyday just to try to speak clearly. He will bring it up eventually, you have to give him so...

I mean everyone is different, but to me being forward is showing you care. If you had an issue and someone asked you how they wanted to approach it with you, would you not appreciate it?...

I see you asking about will it reduce over time etc. Obviously, every stutter /stutterer is different, but I have a stutter similar to what you're describing. I tell people I am not a first impressi...

Maybe it depends on age? In my 20s I might have cared more, but in my late 30s I certainly don't. ...
