This is interesting... what do you mean when you say you can’t hear it? Do you notice when you stutter? If not, did you used to notice? I’m way more open and desensitized to it now than i was years a...

Nope, I’ve owned my stutter. I wasn’t born with it, I developed it. I’ve come to accept it’s not going away, so now it’s just part of who I am. My senior quote was “Did I stutter?” All my friends tho...

Remember that you are a person with a stuttering characteristic, not a stutterer. You have plenty of other qualities ! :) But I feel you, it sucks. Have you followed any sort of therapies ? And, how o...

Dude. Don't be angry. Fuck 'em. You know who you are, they're irrelevant. - That being said, of course we react to being poked in a sore spot. But - and this is important - you should spend some tim...

If you can't forgive them, then at least forgive yourself. Who are you really mad at? I bet you're more upset with yourself for stuttering than you are mad at them for mocking you. Otherwise it wouldn...

As I was losing my stutter, I started having a different kind of anxiety. It was an identity crisis. I was used to anticipating my stutter, and I was 99% certain when I would start to stutter and empl...

I guess mood definitely has an effect on everything you do and everything tends to indeed get better when you're having rad days. I just started 3 days ago to listen to the audio book version of 'stut...

I remember the same thing happening to me! My wrestling coach would always start smiling, and even today some people respond weirdly. I'd probably just ignore it, but yeah... definitely similar experi...

This is exactly what you have to do. This is my senior year at uni and when I stutter when talking to someone, I don't explain why it happens. Usually people don't interrupt, and if they ask why I am ...

I've found this is the best way. It's not something I think I'm gonna grow out of so just embrace it. If someone has a problem with it's their problem. I'm done allowing it to be a problem for me. ...

I guess my success story is that I have “embraced” my stutter. The first time I stutter, I will say “I do stutter” and just give a little background. I am 47, though, and it took me a long time to g...

Yeah that line is really weird. I have to do that too. I guess you have to think of your stutter as a part of your personality, but something that you own. Not something that controls your life. I d...
