Yes you're right we have not any cure for now. But i think it's only FOR NOW. When i'm alone i'm %99.9 fluency and normally %85 fluency. I think it's all about how much percentage you are in normally....

I'm against it in this instance because I'm not suffering. Stuttering sucks and I hate it but I'm not suffering. If I were, I wouldn't have gotten as far in my life as I have. And my mom and I have ta...

Sorry. That may have been poor wording. I meant everybody in my family has gone through hardships and my mom did everything she could to minimize the pain of these hardships. Nobody else in my family ...

There is currently no cure for stuttering. That's a scientific fact. It is also not true that we don't stutter when we're alone. Take a look through the various YouTube channels run by people who stu...

Yes, and then I have flashbacks about that conversation during my day like some sort of PTSD. I dwell on it, which is something that I'm trying to stop. Self confidence about your stutter is the cause...

Hi, the same with me. I can give a presentation for as long as I want, without the feeling that my stuttering is holding me back. I think it's because I'm speaking loudly and articulate the words prec...

I used to until I started reevaluating my self-worth. We are the biggest critics of ourselves. Our thoughts are just as valuable as anyone else's. Once I truly stopped worrying about what other people...

I am in my early twenties and although I'm fairly fluent about 70% of the time my stutter is still visible and I do worry about it a lot. What really gets to me is worrying about what colleagues thin...
