I read the book The Exceptional Presenter by Timothy Koegel. That book is a fantastic resource and while it didn't exactly help with my stuttering it gave me so much more confidence during my presenta...

Absolutely. Your path reminds me of my own but different ages. I was an extrovert as a kid and then suddenly became self-conscious at 12. Went straight down from there to rock bottom at 19, running ou...

Take this as a great starting point- You ACCEPTED and embraced your stutter during the time in our lives that we are least confident and most self aware. That is a huge sign in my eyes that you will ...

Hello, I completely understand your frustration; as I also have a stutter. You seem to have knowledge about how to not let stuttering impact your life, but are you applying it? Do not think of your...

If it makes you feel any better I used to have anxiety so bad when I was in school and had to speak in front of the class...I'd shake so bad and my voice would break (I'm a girl so it wasn't puberty)....

I had a professor who stuttered and for the most part overcame his stutter. He gave me great advice which was "We only grow when we push our comfort zone." This is true for all of life, not just stutt...

That's great that you want to act! And also that you've pushed through your bad days. My advice to combat those 'dread spirals' (as I like to call them, where we psych ourselves up into a mess and t...

I was in the same boat as you and had the same feelings. And then I met someone. It might take longer than you expect but it will happen. People really aren't bothered by your Stutter nearly as much...

Does your friend know he's made you feel like that? If so, and he hasn't changed, then tbh he sounds like kind of a nob. Also dude you're only 20! You have lots of time to meet someone. And everyone ...

I get it, it's rough. I think it does come down to our brains as people who stutter and just finding something that helps. There really shouldn't be a stigma around this, and on top of stuttering you'...
