I stutter myself, and I have a friend who stutters as well. My friend finds the kinds of jokes I regard as normal or funny to be offensive. I guess it depends a lot on the person and how sensitive the...

My stutter went away towards the end of primary school and came back and stayed forever at the start of high school. I know mine is very much tied to my anxiety levels. I'd say as a kid I wasn't self ...

Talking to strangerts

Talking to strangerts So usually when I talk and I'm calm, stutters are at a minimum, and I don't have a fear of speaking to strangers at all, or anyone for that matter, but everytime when I'm for exa...

I agree. I never stutter when I talk when I'm alone. When I talk alone, I don't think about my speaking in terms of fluency. Because it makes sense to speak fluently. But when I add a person, then I ...

Hey! Full time and long time stutterer here! I'm in the same boat, with phone calls causing my stutter to get much more severe. What I've found works, for me, though is this. Take a deep breath right...

Yes there's actually an explanation to why this happens. Humans put value on certain words or phrases when we say them based on their importance.Your name is a valuable word because there is no alter...

this makes me think that sometimes my stutter is mostly in my head and that im just very anxious. but there will also be times where ill be completely calm and ill still take a minute to say a short s...

> It's within me " I realized that normal speakers do not get caught up on every detail trying to get out words, how to set up the most fluent sentence" -> I agree, we focus on accepting stutt...

Sometimes the scariest part of speaking is all the anticipation leading up to it. As soon as you start speaking your brain realizes it’s ok and the fear dissipates. I hope this will happen with you. T...

You said : I realize it's a radical viewpoint in the stuttering community. To be honest, I never thought I'd have happy stutter mindset" I agree, instead of a happy stutter mindset, I think we shoul...

I agree. It's unquestioned by influencers that stuttering has no cure and the rest follow without trying to remove their perceived stresses which causes stutter (according to most stutter books). So w...

I agree. In my experience in my life, every time I create a 'new method' to speak. The first couple of days I believe "THIS method helps". Result: I experience fluency. But days later I gradually stut...

The answer is quite simple. According to WeStutter (website) stuttering is caused by perceived stresses. You asked what you can do daily for 10 minutes. My opinion is to reduce the stresses (anxiety...

All those people saying "go on face your stutter, don't let it control your life" please be careful with this advice. Just because it worked for you it doesn't mean that OP should go all our embracing...

While we can’t know for sure what admissions is thinking, I highly doubt you are getting rejected for your stutter. When I was in college I met many people that stuttered in all kinds of majors. It’s...

Correlation is not causation. Catastrophizing runs high with us stutterers. Don't give up....

Sounds like this is less of a stuttering problem and more of an anxiety based avoidance problem. Quitting and running away is only going to exacerbate the issue and make it even harder next time. I th...

Third this, and will add: I've started explicitly telling people that I stutter whenever I can in introductions, and definitely ones in a group situation. My spiel goes a little like: "By the way, \[...

I don't quite understand. You ask for help in the title and then discard legit helpful views. What kind of help do you expect or want to hear? I can only repeat what already has been said. Don't let...

I’m good man, I have extreme low confidence… I’m just gonna call in sick or quit, my anxiety is so bad I would literally do anything to get out of any situations where I have to talk upfront to anyone...
