You literally took the words right out of my mouth. We're in exactly the same boat. I enjoy talking and meeting new people. I like to say I'm a pretty outgoing person when I **can** be. Sometimes I ju...

I don’t mind it, all my family and friends have known me so long they hardly notice. My dad helped me a lot since I got it from him. I just found this sub and I feel inspired reading everyone’s commen...

Thank you for sharing. Most importantly, you need to seek advice from a medical perspective. Secondly, we are all different in our speech journeys and it's not like one shoe fits all type of men...

I agree. I was on them and I felt like a zombie. I've embraced my stutter, I focus on life and not my stutter. The more I do this, my fluency has improved. I still have blocks but I breathe an...

Now I'm more able to feel that if people have a problem with my stammer, that problem is theirs and not mine.

As I get older, I’m starting to feel as thought this is the road I should travel. Maybe my newer friends already know (I speak really quickly) and are too polite to tell me. I just fear shocked respon...

I have a dissimilar experience to most stutterers that I’ve met (I go to NSF meetings) in that I’m incredibly happy I stutter. My fear of speaking as a child made me writing-crazy, and I developed a f...

I had an intense dysarthia and stutter - I couldn't form words properly at all, and at times was essentially not able to be understood except by my friends. I worked really hard in speech therapy, and...

I work in a restaurant too.....it will be an “issue” as long as you see it as an issue. The main goal is to not care what anyone thinks about your stutter...way easier said than done....

Absolutely, it’s a huge part of me. I’m not saying I embrace it fully and that it does not frustrate me, but only reason it frustrates me is because a lot of people people are unaware and unaccepting,...

I'm sorry you feel that way. I used to be ashamed of my stutter too, but then I decided to open up about it. Now I don't try to hide it, and I've found that 90% of people out there do not care if you ...

I feel you. I never liked speech therapists and never went to one, but I was approached by a few and met a few, they all gave me tips on how to ‘overcome’ my stutter and I didn’t even ask for help! (I...

For me, I had to learn it. My first therapist taught me tips and tricks. The second and last one helped me accept my stutter which resulted in less stuttering. I am not ashamed of my stutter. It's not...
