This comment has just made my day! I’m so happy for you and I really hope this can be a foundation stone in your life. There’s so much that’s possible now that you have that inner confidence! You’re a...

I have said that I am a part-time stutterer, meaning that I do not stutter all the time. If people ask about the part-time, I say that I stutter T, Th, and Sunday after noon. If someone asks why you ...

I definitely agree that desensitizing is a good thing to do, but only because it can help build confidence. I’m a true believer in “fake it till you make it”, because if people see that it doesn’t bot...

The first time I ever romantically hung out with my now-wife, I told her I stuttered. She actually didn’t believe me at first because at that point in my life, I was pretty fluent. Over 11 years later...

Congrats on facing your fear!! I still remember when my boyfriend (now husband) told me he had a stutter. I already knew, didn’t care, but it was a big deal for him to say the words and feel like he c...

So happy for you! I’ve been where you are and it was such a relief after I told my boyfriend about my stutter. It’s just another part of us that makes us unique. Knowing that your other half is aware ...

I kinda think you're oversimplifying The King's Speech a bit here. Of course the goal is for King George to make a speech but the therapist makes it a point that acceptance is an important part in get...

It won't necessarily go away with age but you'll probably gain enough experience over the years to not give a fuck most of the time. Hang in there, we're all in this together!...

Fuck yeah! I’m so happy it was a positive experience for you. The more we open up about it the more confortable we become with ourselves. You should feel proud!...

A few years ago I did a some of comedy talk where I ranked all the stutters in film. It can essentially be broken down into a few categories. The worst: Stuttering as a punchline. Bobby Boucher in W...

Dude and I'm 18 same thing with me, they say he forget his name but I really couldn't say that, but important is to bot give a fuck what they think just stay cool is hard but you have to survive with ...

yes, I completely agree. I don't stutter myself, but one of my best friends does and he's confident as hell. it's funny watching people's reactions to his confidence after they had assumed that he's a...

I do the same thing! I focus on living and not my stutter. My fluency has improved....

I wholeheartedly endorse the comment above. On a first date with my now ex-girlfriend she told me that she had noticed my stutter and thought "it was cute". That instantly put me at ease and made thin...

I have a hard time ordering food myself sometimes ( one time a taco bell employee thought I was having a stroke LOL) but I try and if my sister is there with me and I’m having a bad day she sometimes ...

Acceptance is the end..... Right?

Acceptance is the end..... Right? I used to always think that Acceptance was the end of the road for my stutter. All I had to do was accept it and it would go away? Right? Wrong! Truth is, Acc...

I have never bothered to fix this problem, because I thought this is just temporary.. I was not able to accept myself that I'm a stutterer. Maybe now it's time to rethink I guess.. I guess there are m...

Thanks for thiss!! In my whole life I never got an advice like you have given now.. All I got to speak was with people who doesn't stutter and they don't get the feeling and clearly they dont understa...

I’m terrible with advice let me just get that disclaimer out of the way and I am merely speaking from experience. I’ve been a stutterer since birth and something that I have learned in my experience ...

You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. I think everyone on this subreddit is or has been in the same boat as you. Go do what you feel may be best whether it be doing speech therapy, practicing correct...
