I grew up with a group of male cousins and brothers, one of whom stuttered severely. When we were in Uni, my stutter seemed to improve tremendously while his got progressively worse. One day we were h...

Wouldn't you rather that though? Anyway it's besides the point, from anyone's perspective with an impediment, as unfair as it is, we just have to make the best of it...

The thing is someone who has no legs, or no hands or can't see, they'd love to run, love to be able to write with a pen, love to see colour but they can't Yes it's a big downer but if we have an impe...

You are not alone friend. We all struggle everyday but tomorrow could be the best day of your life, you never know. Just hold tight and reach out to like minded people if you need someone to talk to. ...

Incredible how I came onto this sub to post something just like this, then I saw your post. My story is different, but our problems are the same. ​ My speech was good enough to get me th...

Hey I'm 28 and also from the UK, this was crazy because it was almost like I wrote 70% of what you said. In school I had such a bad stammer I could not even say my name or "here" when the teacher ca...

Hey man, I'm in the UK too! I'm similar to you, fairly server stammer, spent hundreds, probably nearer thousands of pounds on various things to little avail I know it's easy to say but I do believe i...

No, dont say that. Life is tough, especially when you feel you've been handed all the wrong cards. I agree - therapy doesn't exactly seem to help unless its intensive. Just know a lot of people strugg...

The sky is the limit! I made a mistake of setting financial goals too low after graduating college and starting my first job. Dream big and set big goals for yourself, then figure out how to achieve t...

Let me ask you this.. what do you think of yourself? You’ve touched on what everyone else thought of you; parents, family, teachers, etc but what do you think of yourself? Truly answer that. At the e...

Thanks for sharing! It's good to get different opinions and attitudes about stuttering -- it feels like such an individualized issue, we all have our own story. ​ I have done or do some o...

Hey, I'hv been there. I graduated 3 years back and had my fair share of embarrassing moments, some even involving getting ridiculed. You know what, now when I think about all that, I realize how many ...

All I have to say is it's never too late to let everyone know who you are. I was in a similar situation, but if you learn the embrace those comments and looks, you'll find that being yourself is the m...

I think the SLP is being a bit of a troll. Hopefully they’re nicer to their own clients. You gave plenty of disclaimers in your opening. I’m glad this works for you. Self confidence, for me, was eve...

>I think someone needs to reach a stage of acceptance and avoidance reduction first and foremost. ...but we are all on our own journeys and different things work for different people. I appreciate...

One of my favorite quotes: whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right. I do presentations regularly. I do stutter through them - like others. my fluency varies. And sometimes people do ...

You can communicate successfully with a stutter. I'd say go for it....

Yes, I’m a Regional Director making $130k a year. I sit in weekly round table meetings (that always do the dreaded name introductions) and have to present frequently. I would say my stutter is mild to...
