My parents bought an ice cream store when i was 14 (in 1980; am 59m). I had developed a horrible stutter in 3rd grade that had morphed (mostly, though I still stuttered) into a dreadful block by the ...

Yes, acceptance will not change the opinions of others but it will change our opinion of ourselves. Of course the mocking will hurt, but the best we can do is speak up for ourselves and say we have a ...

The problem with acceptance See the problem with acceptance, it doesn't really solve the problem of stuttering, the habit, the fear, the behaviour, all we have developed because we had stuttering, we ...

I met my wife in college. I was ashamed/embarassed by my stutter but i also…. loved to talk and crack jokes. Some bad fluency days i would still just stay in my dorm and not see anyone, maybe bing on ...

It's hard man..for me anyways. But you basically have to have extremely thick skin and truely accept yourself for who you are. If you don't then your not going to be able to handle the awkward, embarr...

How do I start becoming better socially even though I have a stutter?

How do I start becoming better socially even though I have a stutter? So I (M21) Keep letting my stutter ruin my life. I don't try to talk to anybody, I don't ask anybody out on dates, I've never aske...

I hate talking

I hate talking My fluency has greatly improved, but I still hate talking. I guess it’s just the uncertainty of what’s going to happen whenever I try to communicate verbally. It’s the worse, for me, o...

In my experience it can get a lot better (I'm 60 and I've stuttered since age 4), it might not ever fully go away but (and this is huge) it can get to the point where it's barely a problem. I had lo...

I'm not hiding it, but there's no reason for me to discuss it. If someone asks me to talk about it or my opinion on it, sure, but I'm not going to bring it up unless it's important. To each their ow...

Does it ever get better? I am 27.. I have a mild and covert stutter. Some days I don’t stutter and some days I do. But every day it’s in my head. I get pleased when I go to bed and haven’t stuttered a...

I always try to put myself in situations where I know I’m not comfortable. For example, speaking up in class or giving oral exams really triggers me, but I know I can’t spend my whole life trying to a...

You can do more than you think

You can do more than you think I’m a woman with a moderate to severe stutter. I can’t hide it, also I don’t try. I stutter openly in every conversation that I have, and I have a lot of them. I’m gradu...

No but I do sometimes avoid speaking if I can tell I’m going to stutter but I’m pretty sure that just makes it worse. It’s better to learn to live with it...

Ever considered going mute?

Ever considered going mute? I can’t be the only one considering this. i’ve had this stutter all my life and it’s ruining it. i can’t even hold up a conversation without feeling uncomfortable or awkwar...

Better to just get it over with. There was no way you were going to hide it 100% of the time. Once you let the cat out of the bag, people will just be more accepting of it. To me it would be a relief ...
