Hello, I can imagine that it's a big relief and a lot of stress lifted of my shoulders when I'm open about it or don't care, but I honestly don't know of I can. And how can I get more confidence when ...

I’m a product owner with a covert stutter. So whilst I can mask it most times, it’s extremely exhausting and a double bad because I then think I’m being fake. I built up my identity a certain way but ...

Hello. I just turned 30 and was the same. Stuttered my whole life, and still do. I get how controversial what I’m about to say is but there comes a point where you have to just not give a shit what ...

Don't really have advice on the stuttering but I can say from personal experience that 24 at uni doesn't feel that old and there are many more older people at mine. Also, my brother started at 28 and ...

Thank you for your message! It's nice to hear other people's stories. May I ask what job you are doing? Also can you tell me why stuttering is the best gift for you? I hear more people say this, but...

Hi. I don’t know you of course but I can fully appreciate what you’re going through! At 40 years old I only started going to speech therapy. I just got off the phone with my previous boss in a big com...

Battle through it. Many of us have been in your shoes. I could only dream of having online support like this back when I was in my early 20’s (i’m 44 now). Keep this in mind professionally and perso...

Good man keeping his confidence up, I used to find it hard during times in public, I feel like I'm a lot more fluent and come to accept it years later....

Right but if you go to therapy I would argue that to some degree you don’t accept stuttering in a technical sense because you’re there to eradicate it so...

Just because you do therapy doesn't mean you don't accept stuttering. I feel that question is worded poorly, I would say I fully accept my stuttering and the fact that I went to therapy for it doesn't...

I definitely agree that putting value on random bouts of fluency is bad, but I am a part of a community who works on our speech so we celebrate fluency moments as relative markers of improvement and t...

How about not indirectly telling yourself that stuttering is bad

How about not indirectly telling yourself that stuttering is bad When people talk about speech victories in stuttering communities, they often celebrate random moments of fluency, during a phonecall ...

I worked at a subway, and having to help customers everyday actually helped my stutter, and once I got into the routine it was actually very easy and I made a lot of tips, as long as you are kind and ...

I am working as a tour guide and as a receptionist with a mild stutter as well! The more tours I give, the less I stutter because it’s all just a repetitive process. I would say confidence and repetit...

My greatest piece of advice

My greatest piece of advice My greatest piece of advice.. Stop focusing on improving fluency. That peice of advice has allowed me to live the life I have dreamed. And that's not an exaggeration. I...

You are your own biggest enemy in this. When we are in "high pressured" situations like a job interview we put way too much value into trying to be fluent. The interviewer wants to see that you're...

Not a receptionist but I am on the phone a lot with clients for a veterinary clinic. I have a mild stutter as well and my best advice is to know your industry well. Confidence in knowing what I’m talk...

If I were you, I'd try to adopt a "who cares what this person thinks" mindset. Especially for situations like ordering food and giving them your name. I stutter on my name all the time when ordering o...

I think about this a lot too. Stuttering sucks so much and it just makes every little thing difficult. I think it’s probably best that we don’t judge ourselves as much on outcomes but rather on action...

Just accept and move on. Don’t stress over it; you’re always gonna be your own biggest critic. From my experience, you just have to let go....
