Purge yourself of mental junk! We all have a lot of mental junk in our heads because of stuttering! -We keep tabs on how much we are stuttering on any given day -We keep track of much we have stutt...
I have a severe stutter, am 22, and I’m a pretty happy person. I don’t really know any tips or tricks really, it’s just sort of a mindset thing. The truth is I don’t really care what anyone thinks of...
Im 29, and I honestly just don’t care about it. I stopped caring about my stutter a long time ago. Why let something beyond my control take control over my life and happiness? I still do everything...
It is a numbers game. Meet more people. Apply for more jobs. Get better and learn from the experience. When we don’t get a job, it is not always because of the stutter. We tend to blame everything o...
Yeah I agree with your thoughts but why look back at what you could have been? Focus on what you can do now and in the future. Maybe really smooth talkers have exactly the same thoughts e.g. I wish...
It’s not easy. What worked for me was working on myself psychologically rather than just my stutter. With the help of a few therapists throughout my life I’ve worked on my attitudes, emotions and tho...
Why do you need to be fluent 100% percent of the time? I still stutter, but so mildly that I don't mind it. I actually browse this sub to look for ideas for Youtube video scripts. I reached this worr...
Ohh thank you for letting me know, I didn't know that. I guess you are the omniscient. My life is shit now, doesn't mean I haven't had the good time. More than year, I was fluent, when I was telling p...
I’m sorry but idk if I just don’t understand this post. You say you are a senior, yet in your post you say “I thought people were more mature after high school” and after looking at your history, you ...
Hey mate I’ve did the McGuire Programme and it’s definitely helped me gain more confidence in my speech, it takes time and there’s a lot of natural setbacks but worth it. I know it’s a bit more expens...
This is how many of us feel. The ones who move beyond their stuttering and "overcome" it are the ones who realize there is no war and no reason for them to be fighting because they're only fighting th...
Hahaha fair enough I was prom king and captain of every football team I’ve been on. And embarrassed myself plenty. Im old now (29) and I laugh at all that, even when I literally CRIED in the moment. N...
I learned to separate my speech from my self worth. I used to think if I had a rough speaking day, I’m worthless. And I started working on myself, realizing I’m more than my speech. That helped....
I really felt this. I have been there, too, and there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. There isn't anything I can say that will make you feel better. But I will say that ...
I had different relationships and I slept with maybe 60 70 women in my life. Nobody made any issue about that,nobody was talking about that. It's all about your attitude and confidence,if it's a probl...
CBT is helpful. Just switches your brain from the panic thought "oh I'm gonna stutter and everyone will think I'm an idiot" to "No one cares that I stutter and I have no reason to worry". Switches you...
hi there! i have a severe stutter too (30% fluency on avg) and it gets really exacerbated whenever i’m put on the spot or in a position where its like “all eyes are on me”, even if i’m comfortable wit...
What’s interesting is, there are times when we can speak completely fluently. It means we don’t need any techniques or to change our voice. The problem therefore is in the mindset. Listen to William ...
Something I still think about 15 years later
Something I still think about 15 years later In my sophomore year of college I did a 20 min presentation in a science class. This presentation was a big win for me. I stuttered a bit and had some blo...
Stuttering just makes me mad
Stuttering just makes me mad Actually, it’s not the stuttering that makes me mad. It’s society. Why do we have to suffer over this? We’re not in physical pain. We’re not physically disabled. We ca...
