While I think a good portion of it is mental and that we should put some focus into positive thinking, I don't think we can attribute it *all* to our mind....

to OP: not being happy is not because of your stutter, its because you are 17. if you didnt stutter you would think you were too tall, too short, too smart, too dumb, or anything else. we are socia...

confidence is a part for sure. so it being distracted. i find that for me mildly thinking about stuttering is when its the worst: if i am focusing on it i rarely stutter (but that is exhausting) bu...

I love you, too. I hid my stutter for years, and so I hid myself as well. I wasted so many years being scared. I still am sometimes. Hell, I'm waiting for a date to show up to meet her for the first ...

Oh. I don't pretend to do science here. I called it a theory because it's my current guess of how it works. It's based purely on intuition, since I have no scientific framework to build on and I'm qui...

I've ingested mostly just psychedelics. A little MDMA. And more than my share of cannabis. I really don't think any of them had a marked affect on my speech, positive or negative. As far as stimulants...

Low esteem is definitely related to stuttering. Sometimes my days start shitty, sometimes they start good, but however, I've learned that my conversation with people can influence that a lot. If I t...

I think we all have the same feelings here. Seeing the obvious greener grass and all those things a fluent voice can bring. I mean, you've probably sat there listening to nonsense and wanted to correc...

I can't agree with you more on "doesn't let me be happy". I am not really depressed or suicidal, but deep down I am not happy with myself and in some way with God (sorry for the religious reference th...

>i feel stuttering is the only thing that doesn't let me be happy, that doesn't let me be who i am. i don't think that's a productive way to look at things. consider your stutter part of you; what...

My son is 8 with a stutter and I also worked as a psychotherapist with kids so I've been doing my best to help him through everything. One major thing with him is that he is sort of "afraid" of people...

I understand your point: stuttering kind of defines us, both for good and bad things. But I really doubt that anyone enjoys the feeling of not being able to speak at the rate their brain produces word...

I agree with what you wrote. The thing is, I am old enough to look at it from more mature side and conclude that I have pretty good life even with my stutter. I was discussing my stutter with girlfrie...

My first post on /r/Stutter. I'm 23 yo and have stuttered for as long as I remember. Despite that, I have lived a pretty normal life - I have many friends, I am socially active, I have a beautiful gi...

I have a bachelors in communication sciences & disorders, and I stutter. What you're referring to is called pseudo-stuttering. The idea is that intentionally stuttering at the start of a conversat...

Thank you! I'm sure I'm being overly sensitive about it, since I'm always on guard about my stuttering. But his comment about speech recognition still sticks with me...I hope other employers don't thi...

It seems to me like the interviewer wasn't trying to be rude. I think that he was at first wondering if the stuttering was purely because of stress for the interview and that later he was trying to ma...

well it sounds like you clearly have a negative connotation to hear stuttered speech. I dont really enjoy listening to someone stutter, but moreso when they struggle hand. easy stuttering doesnt bothe...

Am I a hypocrite?

Am I a hypocrite? i have a confession to make: i get annoyed listening to people who stutter. i don't know if its because it reminds me of my stutter or if it is just that i am generally impatient a...

I like this, this is exactly how I was at college, comepletely open to everybody and I would talk to whoever, just shoot the shit. Sure I would stutter and have blocks, but they didn't seem as defined...
