Laughing at myself all the time when I stutter. Its only as serious at you make it:)...

Also, of course, a couple of tracks of consideration: People who laugh in mean spirit aren't nice people. And also, sometimes people laugh because they don't understand. Maybe they don't even laugh in...

Youre definitely right and you can't just barge into the classroom to educate. Its more of an issue with the educational system I think. It would be fabulous if schools just took charge and worked to ...

Yes, most of that was me delving into the dark recesses of my mind and figuring things out. Speech therapy was largely useless in this regard, but I have had counselling which has helped me deal with ...

Yeah, taking the emotion out of it certainly helps. In my experience, getting frustrated, anxious, ashamed only makes matters worse. Wishing it away doesn't work. Self-acceptance is the the beginning ...

I get that. I have heard a college student who stutters say that they practice self-disclosing in some situations and that seems to help, because more people know what is happening with him and they'...

I think that's very normal, I do and feel exactly the same. However I would love to not feel ashamed about it because unfortunately we are our biggest bullies. I admire other people being straight to...

That's right, it's all about the situation and timing on conversational level. Definitely not a universal solution or trick to get over bad feelings. Guess what I want to say is that seeing the comic...

This is more of the science behind what I was doing. I realized when I would talk by myself or talk to a pet I would be completely fluent 99.9% of the time (depending on if I was in my head or not...

Started stuttering at age 12 and never went to speech therapy as a child. I sought out a speech therapist myself when I was in my 20s and he was a actually a dentist and former stutterer. He focused p...

I'm not a psychologist, but let's call me a expierence expert in stuttering, anxiety and inferiority complexes. 1 stop apologizing all the time : you are who you are, nothing wrong with that! **Be ...

First of all, never apologize. You are AWESOME!! Second, I had a severe fear if the phone until one day I bought a phone off of ebay. Every single day for months, I would pretend to make and recei...

If I ever smile or laugh at my stutter it's in response to someone doing so first. I think I do it to make them feel at ease, removes tension from the room, but it makes me feel embarrassed and ashame...

that’s awesome! also proud of you for bringing awareness to people who should know about it! very glad you’re proud of yourself too....

Sure, it's possible to laugh at a stutter. It can sometimes yield some funny sounds. :) But it's not always feasible, of course....

1. Yes 2. Years of various types 3. No 4. The iceberg idea of surface and hidden emotions (I encountered this as an adult) 5. Begin to delve into the emotional aspects of speech dysfluency 6. Emotiona...

As part of a speech therapy program I had to practice street contacts, e.g. stopping someone and asking how to get to some place I found it hard to say. I was becoming more accepting of my stammer at ...

As a kid I stuttered the majority of my sentences, but as I grew into my later teens my stutter kinda turned the same way like yours. I would say the main solution if you could even call it that is ha...

It's dangerous to think about yourself in that way. Everyone is good at different things and you don't have to be perfect at everything. From my experience dealing with anxious people is that it's oft...

I remember my parents being in denial too. I’m older now and looking back I think they just didn’t know what to do. I went from being very outgoing and a very good speaker where I was the lead role in...
