Confidence in what? Wherever you're lacking confidence, improve in that area. If you're talking about your disfluency, then do some work there. (Easier said than done, for certain.) IDK you, so I h...

I made big progress with my stammer this year. Main thing I made progress on are those "secondary behaviors" like stay quiet, avoid social interactions, general social anxiety etc. and later this year...

I don’t know the extent of your stutter but don’t let it stop you from being an extrovert. I’ve stuttered since I was a kid but because I’m an extrovert I’ve never really thought to suppress my speech...

I feel like the stuttering disability is not that known, what should I do?

I feel like the stuttering disability is not that known, what should I do? I mean, should I tell the people that I'm knowing that I have a stutter? Should I try to hide it? Should I just let myself st...

Thank you for standing up. I think we all can relate to being accused of faking our stutter since it is so erratic. One moment, we can be fluent, and the very next, we start stumbling on every word....

I am having a similar issue. I used to be a covert stutterer until the anxiety of hiding the stutter caused more stuttering. I am trying to advance and the fear of stuttering in public leads to mass...

I think it would remain "a big deal", even if we're 1%. As soon as we're different, being fat, short, too tall, ugly, having a disabily or being a stutterer, at some point it's always a big deal in ou...

I came to a similar conclusion after going to an intensive speech therapy program and being basically 100% fluent for about 6 months. I was still deathly afraid of talking to people because I didn't b...
