I think it's a confidence problem. Maybe that friend feels more confident in who he is and doesn't let his stutter hold him back, resulting in a louder, more confident voice. I also have a stutter b...

Fuck other people.

Fuck other people. Fuck people they don’t matter. Normal guy that’s scared will win if he doesn’t care about other people. Our stutter can be heavily reduced if we constantly don’t think about what ot...

You don’t disclose for the sake of the listener. You disclose to trick your brain into doing less work to hide the stutter (hiding it what directly causes blocks). Also, if you are a covert stutte...

Totally agree. I like my texting self. Maybe we were born to be introverted writers. And creative people. Cos we can’t speak properly. So we utilise other mediums. It’s both a painful and interesting ...

Dude. I’m just going to skip to the harsh truth. YOU are the one reacting to your stutter. Not them. You say you can “see the twitch” and so on. Yes, I understand, they are surprised. Most people do...

Tricks that really work for me

Tricks that really work for me 1) if you know that you will likely block severely in the middle of a sentence, fake-stutter at the beginning of the sentence. For some reason this prevents the block, ...

Yes, definitely, but what I really meant was that you should try to talk to that person some time and stutter more freely. I've had similar experiences as you and that person was rude/indifferent to m...

Yah, that’s a good mindset. I’m not sure it’s a cycle that can truly be broken. I think another good mindset to go with it is that no one (worth interacting) actually cares if you stutter....
