It really depends, everyone has their own experiences and confronts to their stutter in very different ways. I personally accept it as a part of myself but i want to handle it as well. But in any case...

I suppose we could mention something like Stockholm Syndrome... - The way I look at it (personally) is that I want to say what I wanted to say, and this sometimes means facing a stutter head on. In ...

This is a tough one and opinions differ, so this is my personal view. I won't say I embrace it or even prefer to speak with a stutter. For a long time I saw it as an alien element and wanted to wash ...

Does anyone feel that stuttering is apart of their identity and prefers to not use techniques they have learnt to speak more fluency?

Does anyone feel that stuttering is apart of their identity and prefers to not use techniques they have learnt to speak more fluency? My partner has a stutter. They have gone to years of speech therap...

Done! Love this survey. I’m curious about your findings. It was interesting questioning these things for myself, and finding out just how little stuttering has actually affected my career path. Luck...

For me, I stopped focusing on my stutter and focused on just living. The more I did that, my fluency improved. Don't get me wrong, I still have blocks so I just breathe, and continue with my con...

It's really interesting that us stutteres recognize stuttering when we hear it within a split second while fluent people would never notice. I'm a huge fan of the singer Megan Washington who pretended...

I feel we have to really work on our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions as people who stammer. I am now in my 40s and started to reflect a lot more on my thought while reading a book by John Harrison w...

You're brave for demonstrating your stutter. I know many people who stutter who let the fear of it control their lives. Anyways, don't be to hard on yourself for someone being mean to you. They're th...

Mine comes and goes like waves in the ocean. I try to ride them out, but sometimes I eat sand....

My stutter decreased at periods when i talked more to people or read something outloud. And when i was more quiet it increased so i think you have to communicate with people you feel closest to. Im 16...

I think disclosing that you stutter is a great idea! I know for me it takes a lot of pressure off to be fluent once people know I stutter and then I tend to communicate more effectively. It’s also les...

First of all, congratulations. Second, disclose your stutter. Third, breathe. You got this!!!!...

>Instead of “oh no!”, you eventually switch to “that would suck if it happened”, to “if it happens it happens”, to not even thinking about it anymore. When I was younger, I barely thought about it...

My 2 cents: I no longer pay attention to my stutter. I focus on living my life and enjoying every second of it. When I speak, my mind automatically just tells my mouth to speak. If I have a bloc...

Love can be expressed in more ways than speech. There's many love languages. And why does fluency even matter when dealing with people who love us and we trust?...

Take all the time you need. Your success is that you called, that’s something to be proud of. The restaurant wants your business regardless if you block or not. Stutter proudly and order food for your...

Thoughts/experiences with "Speech Anxiety Anonymous" (SAA) Hi everyone, I recently came across a website titled SAA and read testimonials of the program's efficacy in "curing" stuttering. I don't beli...

Come to an NSA conference! (In the US) there are international conferences too! This year is cancelled but look into it in the future. I was blown away at my first one, it’s crazy to meet so many peop...

This was a huge fear of mine. However, with that being said, I'm the only one in my family who stutters. My daughter is nearing 10 and she is beautifully fluent with a huge vocabulary. ♥...
