No problem at all! Yeah, that's very true, I find that my speech gets worse when I focus on it too much and that as a result, I start to stress more, which creates a toxic speech cycle, it can be a v...

Because it can, so it did... Thats whats stuttering is about, it can do whatever it can and you cannot do much about it, just reconcile with a fact. I would be gratefull that I can still comunicate ev...

Thank your for the kind words! Appreciate it. I also noticed it depends on mental health a lot. Over the years I became hyperfocused on my speech which makes it harder to focus on the substance of a ...

You summed it up perfectly. I do exercises daily, such as: reading out loud various texts, speaking to myself in the mirror, trying variations of speaking faster/slower, breathing exercises. These ar...

My pleasure, bud! Another free piece of advice I’d like to share with you is to try and follow the rule of three’s: For an extrovert, try and participate no more than 3 times to the conversation so o...

I don't know wheater it's the same or not, but I feel like it's worth mentioning. People often say to me that they didn't understand me (even when I didn't stutter in that sentence) or that I should s...

I get what you're saying, but a slightly different way of looking at it might be...Yes, there is a very deep well which is full of pain, frustration, anxiety, even a bit of shame for good measure but....

By the time I was in my twenties, I had coped with that social anxiety and fear. I wouldn't say that I coped with it well. When I was very young I was a very nice kid. Stuttering did a number on me ...

The harder you try to speak, what people consider normal, the more tension you create causing you to stutter. The toughest thing to do is to figure out how to stop caring and just let go. I’m almost...

Hope I’m not too late to chime in! Like many other people have pointed out, there’s really not a ton of jobs that will flat-out be impossible without a stutter. I, 22m, just graduated college with a...

I just left a comment on that post because of how much it relates to what I have struggled with...

That’s a loaded question haha. The answer to that is unfortunately not satisfying. It depends on the person and mostly time.So what’s worked for me won’t necessarily work for you but here’s a couple t...

I echo a lot of the sentiments on here. I’m 27 and have been stuttering since I can remember. Attended lots of speech therapy, had bfs, friends, and the like but rarely interact with others who stutte...

Exact opposite with me. I don't stammer much when I am speaking in my native language but I start to very much when I speak in English....

I am considerably better now than I was as a child. But I was so afraid to speak in public or to my family as a child it had to create some traumatic / stress issues. I can remember being in class a...

Forsure! Feel free to shoot me a pm so I can tell you details about how I work with this...

I mean, I sometimes completely breakdown in Drive-thrus so I’m pretty sure my mental health is not the best. 😅😅😅...

We want to express ourselves and stutter can make this very difficult. We change the way we speak or what we say as avoidance strategy. At the beginning of this year I made self expression my topic o...

Self care is important! I've noticed doing something for myself (drive, walk, car work, etc) helps my overall well being as well as my stutter. I worked at a small assisted living home for a year an...

I could see how it might not resonate with you, but I am a covert stutterer who rarely stutters (Like I said I recently went a whole month without stuttering) so this mindset for me isn’t that terribl...
