Please, *please* don't let a stutter prevent you from doing anything. I know first-hand how tough this exact decision can be, but please remember that you are a role model and a champion for all of u...

Thanks for your tips! I use the synonyms one a lot. Oh and what you said about the enthusiastic mindset bit....I think that's got a lot to do with the ' Fight or Flight ' response. Whenever you're fac...

My situation is quite alike, except that if I'm nervous, I stutter alone, and if I'm relaxed, I can speek to anyone without problem. But I don't really think there are any cures for this kind of stutt...

I'm not interested in proving you wrong. I'll just hear you out instead. :) It's a complex affair, this thing we've got to carry around... It's already a complex affair simply being alive and making ...

Thank you for sharing! We are indeed brave people, because we need to be brave every single day. I try to remind myself of that because it's easy to forget and often I don't feel brave at all. Wish yo...

Recent clinical psychologist graduate here. It's hard to give specific advice since I don't know you or your stutter. Generally though... It will be harder because of your stutter. My program was big ...

This is really exciting, you will do great! College is a big change for everyone, and it's a crazy big change as a stutterer. I think for most of us we get in a bubble in high school and that earlier...

Hey thanks! I know it's not just the context. I just have more pressure on myself I guess in more official settings. I am pretty nervous about my internship. But I need to start working on believing i...

First off, congrats on starting the masters! As for situations I think the context doesn't really matter aside from the fact that anxiety will rise and that drastically inhibits your speech. Try to ta...

Yes, there are those kind of situations, and yes they will be painful and suck. But don't run from them! These next 3 weeks are vital and important for the next 4+ years. It'll be easiest time in your...

College is a great opportunity to open up to new opportunities and activities. Sure at first it may be scary but most people in college are in a similar boat as you. Also, I strongly recommend you t...

I had to introduce myself to nearly 20 complete strangers at my college orientation in 2015 and had one of the worst blocks of my life. Embarrassed, frustrated, upset - I just wanted to skip college. ...

Don't run from life my man. This is an opportunity to come out of your shell. Take some chances. It's ok to stutter. You can't avoid speaking situations forever. We've all been there and it is scary, ...

One day at a time bud. I was always the introvert (and still am). Don't look at the bigger picture when it comes to stuttering. I thinking taking it day by day with baby steps is the right way to go. ...

In high school I have taken a decision, that is, I will NEVER let stuttering affect my life choices.I am a stutterer, and I recently graduated from medicine. Not only that, but I chose to do it in a s...

You are 21 and many feel unsure at that age. You are not alone. You seem to already have social skills. Continue to network and exercise your social skills. And read those social books too, to find w...

Not enough people stutters and those awareness days are just cute nice things but you don’t care about all other days. Those days are useless. Enough with the victimhood mentality. ...

I wish you the best of luck man! I'm a person who stutters (more on the mild side though) and I graduated with my master's in speech-language pathology this past May. I am starting my first "real" j...

At the very least, please make sure to open up to some trusted people irl about how low you’re feeling. I hope you’re feeling better than when you posted this a few days ago, and that you maybe find...

My suggestion is to not be so hard on yourself. As you’ve said, you’ve lost some of your confidence, and you will get it back, it might take some time and that’s okay. ...
