That's brave, but I think editing your stutter isn't the way to go. That's part of yourself, I think the best path is accept it and show it to the world with the rest of your content :) Take a look a...

I agree 100% with this. I'm in this point and it's awesome. For example, yesterday I rolled down the window of my car to politely interrupt 2 guys talking near of a car to ask them if they were going...

I think there are good days and bad days. Most people are generally nice about it. It’s just about overcoming the negative feeling after they “make fun” of you for it. If you just stay positive and kn...

Sounds a lot like me. I had my lowest point about 2 years ago as well. Been recovering ever since, and I’ve never felt better. I’m more confident than I have ever been and it feels amazing to not be s...

Thank you man, I’ve learned after 6 years of therapy that it can’t be fixed but you can learn to accept it because it’s a part of who you are. And the only way it gets better is by being comfortable w...

I think this will give you even more credibility. It seems like stutterers need to learn to live with it and accept it more than fix it. The word “fix” just makes it seem like it’s a problem. Somet...

What ultimately helped me the most is to not stress out about it beforehand, don’t try to not stutter and just take your time in saying all the words properly. Speech therapy did nothing for me. Edit...
