I've found that at least when I'm acting confident, even if I'm still stuttering a lot, it still changes how people perceive me and they don't think I'm incompetent, whereas I think that if I'm acting...

Has anyone noticed that pretending to be confident helps with fluency? Will it help long term?

Has anyone noticed that pretending to be confident helps with fluency? Will it help long term? Lately I've been acting as if I'm confident and it seems to help. I'm thinking this might be a temporary ...

I'm now 27 years old and have lived my whole life with a stutter. It was at it's worst when I was in middle and high school. It's not so bad anymore. You do get used to it or learn tricks to cope with...

Ya are right. Its also because we all know how hard and serious this is. Its something we didnt choose but were born with. I am following stutter therapy so i only advice things that help me or i lear...

Another life long stutterer here - I know it’s so cliche but IT DOES GET BETTER! Not sure how old you are, but as you get older you become more comfortable with yourself which makes you stutter less, ...

No, you are not too incompetent for life. You are F***ing AWESOME and don't you think otherwise. Take it from a 48 year old who had to fight for everything. I'm 48, been stuttering since age 5....

I'd like to double down on the cute thing. I've had lots of people (girls too) tell me that's its quirky, so I choose to rock it. u/MiragingOut, reach out if you need me man....

^ I couldn't agree more. I can empathize with exactly how you feel OP, but I promise you are far from incompetent. Stuttering can be a hurdle sometimes, but it's almost never a wall and the world is b...

Hey man, I get it. Most of us on this subreddit get it. This stutter thing really adds a whole other dimension to our lives. It makes speaking hard, it takes our energy away, and really reduces our vi...

That was brilliant, thanks so much for sharing! This is one of the few examples I've seen of a stutterers openly stuttering on TV. He communicated so well and clearly. Truly a great example of how you...

I believe if I/we could view this as a positive it would be life changing. Unfortunately my simple mind cannot find any value in stuttering....

The amount of shit we're willing to do to not stutter almost amazes me. Surely putting that effort into being comfortable with your stuttering so you can still be yourself is less tiring and more rewa...

Voluntary stuttering is soooo hard. It’s so hard to deliberately change how you speak. It’s just as hard as using a certain speech technique. When I was trying it I always got really self-conscious an...

Very interesting watch. An inspiration to people who stutter, it never held this man back!...

Several women I've been with (almost all of them) have found my stutter endearing. They love it! I fucking hate it!...

Honestly it really is a mind over matter thing. It took me a VERY long time to accept my stutter as my own, to live and see it as a friend rather than a foe, and to tell myself it's ok to stutter....

I was wishing this to myself multiple time, more when I was still in schools, as people were mocking me, I thought that at least people would be more compassionate. But now, thinking about it, I'm goo...

Yes! Exactly! Who cares what people think or say about my stutter! I know I am effing AWESOME....

I met a mute today

I met a mute today He is from family, I didn't see him for a long time, maybe 15 years, I was still a kid, so I don't know him very much. I was impressed by him, because even if he can't talk with his...

Imo it’s way better to laugh at those jokes if you truly find it funny because if you’re casting a shadow of judgement that’s saying “since I live with this these jokes are not funny and can never be ...
