I've encountered other stutterers and even worked with a guy who stuttered. At first I felt bad for em too, but afterwards, I would marvel and wonder how their life was. I was at Walmart one time, and...

So....I've been to the McGuire Program A little while ago I was encouraged by a number of people in this subreddit to go to a McGuire Program intensive course, and I did.... here are my insights Fir...

That's rough. Sorry you have to go through it alone. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy but in a way if I didn't have my dad (he stutters too) I honestly don't know where I would be...

Recently, I have been doing stuff to make me feel better about myself. Working out, eating healthy, staying on top of school work, etc. I'm still working on changing my mindset, but that comes with ti...

I think stuttering can be a benefit in the working world, for something close to this reason. You get some automatic respect if you don't let it hold you back. The push to prove we're competent helps ...

I feel like we need to get the idea of finding a cure out of our heads. I had a fairly severe stutter for a good chunk of my life & the ONLY thing that has allowed me to consistently improve my f...

I feel ya man. College should be a time to meet new people and get out of your comfort zone. It's just so damn hard. Work on fixing your mindset, the only person that truly cares about your stutter is...

I work as a server at a Sonic drive in. I definitely have a lot of bad days and I have mostly overcome my stutter since it first stared 13 years ago when I was just 9. I still have trouble with any "t...

I've had great presentations and terrible presentations. I honestly can't predict what it will be day by day. But the important thing is to keep your chin up and continue to stand up there and keep go...

Thanks for your post, just feels good to talk to other stutterers on the internet. Y'all seem like a great bunch of people and I hope we can all enjoy fluency sooner or later....

I'm 34 and was in a pretty similar boat. I stuttered severely through grade school, hs, and college. I lost count of how many days nobody could understand me when I was a teenager, I missed out on t...

It could be that the best treatment is simply practice. As difficult as it is, there is power in "putting yourself out there" and leaning in to the discomfort of speaking in situations where you aren'...

Sorry bud, the post presentation blues are no bueno. I feel your feelings and sympathize ✊. A little unwanted advice, Try to mitigate the negative thoughts as much as possible- easier said than done. ...

Just building up that scar tissue. Been there many times. Might not feel like it today or even in a year but as long as you keep putting yourself out there, you're going to get numb to the embarrassme...

Thanks for the comment. I never believed that I would grow out of my stutter either, even though family members often told me I would. I think controlling frame has a lot of benefits beyond just makin...

I think this is good. You don't have to make it can iron clad rule, but just keeping it in mind and taking chances is a good thing. Just remember, you're doing this for you. the listener reaction doe...

Relax however you can at the end of it, get your mind off it, enjoy your favourite hobby, don't think about it. There will always be bad days, for everyone in the world. If they don't kill you, just k...

I acknowledge that I wasn't perfect, then I remind myself that it's OK, in the grand scheme of things, to not be perfect. I try to get extra sleep that night and I go on my way, one day at a time....
