It doesn’t have to be that though. Try to find something that you need to build up your comfort with, something less nerve wracking than speaking...

Most ppl, even SLPs, do not really have a true understanding of what a stutter really is. It’s presented as a comic nervousness in movies/tv (I saw a ggggggghost!) or brief uncertainty. But it ten...

Same. Exactly same. Last 2 sentences are TOTALLY me (you could see my last post). I absolutely hate it as well. “I just wanna talk.” YUP. I’m on vacation (day 1) w/ lots of extended family (will be...

Resources to unlearn social habits and habitual thoughts from stuttering

Resources to unlearn social habits and habitual thoughts from stuttering My speech is getting better, but I find that I'm still stuck in my old mindset and old fears. I never learned how to accept my ...

When I was a kid, I was very shy and wouldn't talk much. If I spoke, I would speak only to one friend (the only boy in my school who shared my religion) and I wouldn't speak in English, despite being ...

Man sorry this happened to you. I online game and go on discord a lot. When people point out my "uuums" and I also cant say "L" words (I really hang onto the L and hold it to the point of LLLLLL-eon) ...

Most of these situations are temporary and likely wont have an impact on you. If you stutter with a subway cashier, sure she might cringe inside but it will be over after 5 minutes....

I do too, that’s just more proof that stuttering is more cognitive than we think. And also that people have a big effect on our speech...

I believe it has to do with you anxiety. It's kind of the same with me. The more I sort of think about or push my self not to stutter thats when I actually stutter the most. First and foremost, just r...

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who stutters way worse with a mask! I know it’s a psychological thing, and it’s not really that much of a barrier, but still. There were a few times that I would stutt...

I relate. in my experience, It doesn’t even matter if I’m trying to convince someone about something, even if I’m correct about something, the stutter will make me sound wrong. I’m passionate about t...

vent | i hate my stutter I have a really bad stutter wherein i’ll repeat the same word over and over or i just can’t say anything and it’s like something is stopping me from speaking. It’s super annoy...

It’s reasonable to be concerned. I’m going to tell you the truth. Early on, your son will have a negative experience in school. Kids are cruel. They will laugh. They’ll mock. It’s happened to most of ...

Thanks for your response. I'm mostly worried that my son will have negative experiences in school based on how his teachers and fellow students perceive his speech. I thought developmental stammeri...

Not that exactly, but I hate that look of surprise and confusion that I get a lot of times. Even worse when it turns to this sort of patronizing look of understanding, like they think I'm stupid and w...

I like to tell myself that, like, wow that chick and me would've really kicked it off if I didnt stutter... ha,ha... All jokes aside yeah, esp when they ask you regular questions that you cant even an...
