Is it just me?

Is it just me? No offense to anyone, but I absolutely hate it when people who don't stutter say that they know what you're going through, or that they're afraid to speak in front of people. Honestly,...

I dunno man. Out of thousands people who commit suicide everyday vast majority were fluent speakers. Being able to convert your ideas into air vibrations aka sounds does not guarantee a perfect life. ...

I’d like to say I’m a pretty confident person. I don’t give a crap what people say about me or think about me.. I’ve heard that stuttering can come from anxiousness (which I like to think I don’t have...

Don't compare yourself to other animals. Human speech production is pretty complex compared to most. Also, speech will always be an effort. We just get used to most of it. Well, except for us stutter...

But he does say that he thinks speaking isn’t supposed to be a conscious process. Dogs don’t speak, they don’t form sentences in their minds to speak, because they don’t have the cognitive ability to....

He doesn’t need to work on his fluency because he isn’t articulating words with his mouth. He’s just making a noise. I bet when you bang your finger, you still say ouch or make some other noise. Or pe...

It happens to me too. Home is the place where I stutter most, hands down. It isn't even remotely close. I have a theory for this. They say that adrenaline in the blood actually lowers stuttering. Ha...

Being a stutterer and an F1 fan, this is real deep....

Yes it has. Since I was 4. But it also gave me some strengths too. I’d much rather be fluent. Check out my post on citalopram drug. It’s worked wonders for me and I stutter maybe 5%of the time but I d...

Fantastic! Congrats! Goes to show how us stutterers make full use of our right hemisphere and excel at the arts! Well done!...

Thank you for your comment. I agree with most of what you said. I always accept myself, but I never accept the fact that stuttering will always be part of me! Never, and at least to me this mentali...

I respectfully disagree with this. If you don’t accept yourself you’ll spend a lot of time feeling like you’re not “normal.” We all have something, even fluent speakers. Our “thing” sucks, but we are ...

Yes. Its had a profound effect, really! Please try buying a B-complex of active Bs.BUT we should know, that, even IF we found a cure, we have been stuttering for so many years that our brains probably...

I feel you brother... I imagine people at my work think im weird as hell, but I keep speaking anyway. I work in psychiatry but sometimes I feel like I should be there as a patient lol....

Starting a new job on Monday, dreading introducing myself

Starting a new job on Monday, dreading introducing myself So after nearly a year of being unemployed, my stutter has gotten a bit worse. I’m starting a full time job on Monday and the part I’m dreadin...

Accept that you stutter. Only you define it as your "main defining character." People are not sitting around thinking about your stutter. They're thinking about their own issues, fears, bills, family,...

True off my chest

True off my chest I was talking to my therapist about something my deepest fears and then wham, I couldn’t breathe, I felt like I was gonna faint. I broke out in a cold sweat and the room started swi...

I sometimes think of all the confidence I would have without my stutter, and how different my life would be....

At least you only need to say your name once. Eventually introduced myself to a company director like 6 weeks ago. Had another meeting with him yesterday. Most people had to reintroduce themselves. Go...

I’m having a lot of these feelings recently. Feeling like just a shadow with no real substance because I can’t express myself the way I want....
