Can confirm. Some people reach that state earlier, some later, but it doesn't need to be rushed and will come naturally. I'm 23 just like OP and I don't care about being "normal". It's a subjective th...

Only tip is: don't be sad about this. Accept your stutter and try to talk more and more. While interacting with people, you will learn strategies easily....

Welcome. You’re not alone. I’m 44 and still have my stutter. It does get better. It does get easier. And as you get older you realize most decent people don’t give two sh*ts about anyone’s stutter...

The older you get, the less you will care about being normal. I'm not saying this is easy. Sure, the world is full of people who will might look down on you or think less of you, or underestimate your...

I wake up everyday knowing I used to stutter and laugh....I still do at times. I never allowed it to control my life...

For me it's really about finding who you are being being confident in who you are. Banishing that concept of ‘normal’ is a step I am working towards in my mind....

I’m not super sharp on what exactly the studies say, but I’m 98% sure that Dr Scott Palasik out of Akron has done a good bit of work in this area and found positive results. Might want to look his stu...

I agree with that. I may have misunderstood your point because I have heard others recommend voluntary stuttering in order to help with fluency. But you are correct that the point should be to show yo...

Stuttering on purpose is one of the tools to show another person and to manifest true self acceptance about who we are. It's not a 'trick'. As the goal isn't fluency the goal is control and lessenin...

I’ve been stuttering my whole life, and when your internal monologue doesn’t match how your voice comes out it is very frustrating. The harder you fight it the harder you stutter but this is where I’m...

Yep! I like the entire episode but really enjoyed where he stuttered a bit on I think the word Michigan and was able to laugh it off really well. Not sure why but I've thought about that moment a ton ...

Alcohol used to mostly make me not stutter, but that was in my teenage years, nowadays (I'm 23) it doesn't really affect my stutter anymore or lift my anxiety much or make me feel better, so I almost ...

Partially. It depends how your speech therapist manages to build up your confidence. Effectively, it's like going to therapy for mental health issues but knowing that a therapist doesn't have a magic ...

First off, from this day forward love yourself more than ever. Next, anyone that has ever mocked you delete them out of your life. Trust me there are mates out there who would never mock you nor make ...

Totally agree about the mindset regarding no cure. You'll learn techniques to help be fluent, how to get unstuck when you aren't as well as an overall acceptance of your stutter as part of who you are...

SLP here. I would recommend it on 2 conditions: first, like the other commenter mentioned, you need to go in understanding that there is no cure. Therapy largely centers on your attitude towards the s...

I wouldn't call him an amazing speaker. By his own admission he's a gaffe machine. But I do agree that it's barely noticeable now that he stutters....

Congrats! I'm sure it went well! I found that usually the one who's most bothered by my stuttering am I myself. Other people either don't notice it or they don't mind. I'm sure that's true for most of...

Absolutely. Take Joe Biden for example, he still stutters from time to time, but he's an amazing speaker....

For me I honestly don't think people mind. I'm a preschool teacher and I try to make it a point to talk to all the parents at the end of the day, just to fill them in on how their child's day was. I d...
