In the 90s, I worked at White Castle (a fast food chain) during highschool and college. They put me on drive thru then laughed at me when I stuttered. Beautiful experience through, looking back, it ga...

Don't give up hope. Most stutterers I know have a relationship....

too friendly like just friends? There are a lot of relationships that started as just friends. The more you get to know each other, the closer you may become and realize there may be more here than ju...

Yea. It’s gonna help. Try to read the text sometimes loud and sometimes quiet, what also helps is playing with the articulation and the accent. Which is actually fun. Also stand before a mirror and st...

I always make sure to have good posture, relax my voice and keep it low, and maintain eye contact (not a death stare but just don’t avoid eye contact all the time). The main thing I think is stay in a...

It did help me... But I don't have a "real" stutter. I just have a hard time thinking about what I'm about to say when I'm nervous (which is all the time) and on the outside it looks like stutter. Hyp...

The 21M thing is a little strange, I just joined the sub so I haven't noticed. But anyways, I've never thought that confidence despite a stutter could be attractive. That's a good way to put it. I ju...

It does help for short term and building more confidence does help for the long term but if you're faking it then it will eventually catch up with you and you won't be as fluent. I used to play an act...

Is everyone here a 21 year old male? I’ve noticed tons of people here say they are a 21 year old male and I’m a 21 year old male too and it’s kinda eerie. That being said, my girlfriend doesn’t care t...

Has anyone noticed that pretending to be confident helps with fluency? Will it help long term?

Has anyone noticed that pretending to be confident helps with fluency? Will it help long term? Lately I've been acting as if I'm confident and it seems to help. I'm thinking this might be a temporary ...

All it takes sometimes is to find someone that accepts you for who you are and don't care about you're stuttering and even help you with it. Hang in there and know that there are nice people like that...

Couldn't agree more! I think I like this subreddit because it shows that no one goes through this alone, and there's hope in that--even if we don't have all the answers....

It's not a cure. You have to put a lot of effort in. This means going wayyyy outside your comfort zone. It's helped me tremendously Also it's expensive but you'll have support groups, people you can ...

I've stuttered since I started talking at 18 months old. I've been clinically depressed since I was 12. In my teenage years it made me contemplate suicide more times than I care to recall. I had what...

Hey man, please don't do this. Get a therapist. That's what I did. I know it's hard. I know people laugh. I get anxiety too. But it's not worth throwing your whole life out. And it gets better....

I live in WA but I’m not dan. But wow am I proud of both of you! Having a job that puts you out of your comfort zone is such a big accomplishment as well. I’m so happy that both of you did something t...

Been stuttering for as long as I can remember. I promise it gets better. don't harm yourself, you'll only hurt the ones around you. The community is here to help. We know exactly what its like and it ...

Another life long stutterer here - I know it’s so cliche but IT DOES GET BETTER! Not sure how old you are, but as you get older you become more comfortable with yourself which makes you stutter less, ...
