Stuttering Makes You Unique

Stuttering Makes You Unique Hi all, I hope this doesn't classify as spam at this point, but let me know if it comes across that way. I believe very strongly that stuttering gives you a competitive ad...

Hey man, I've been there. Nineteen was the rock-bottom point in my life. Luckily I had something of a breakthrough moment (during a total breakdown) that changed my perspective. Essentially, it comes...

Well, look at it this way, that was probably the worst case scenario and it wasn't that bad at all, right? You stuttered and lived to tell the tale, got some experience from it and some confidence tha...

When I was a young teenager (13-15), I just kind of assumed (and hoped, I guess) that eventually I would grow out of it and it would just go away. I hit my early 20s and that hadn't happened, so I ju...

It's situations like this where self-confidence is king. Taking pride in yourself and what you have to offer to the world. Yes, we all face adversity and go through some form of struggle. However, wha...

It just got better with time. As I got older I cared less what others thought of me so the pressure to be fluent disappeared. I still stutter and do it every day but I don't care nearly as much and it...

Certainly free to feel that way! I'd argue it's not exploitative if you're meeting people who are voluntarily selling a service for money. It would be exploitative and highly illegal/terrible ethicall...

This is good advice in theory, but almost never works for me in practice. Maybe this'll happen automatically as I grow older and realise there's no point giving a shit about anything....

Why do you guys have this mentality of "Ill never be able to talk normally" or "I have 70 years more of this". I really believe stuttering can be cured, its not some weird vodoo magic that some wiza...

It's nobody's fault you have a stutter. Many people, myself included, believe it *is* hereditary but like all bad genes passed down, it's just bad luck and nobody can predict it. As for not having ...

If you didn't have a stutter you would blame something else (height, race, body shape). I understand the sentiment having a socially taboo disorder can have a large effect on your confidence. But for ...

It's nobody's fault, no one intently placed a stuttering spell on you. Women from my experience don't care as long as it's not a big deal to you. And the ones that do care, don't worry about them. You...

In terms of the virgin part, quite seriously I suggest hiring a hooker. I wasn't a virgin when I experimented with hookers, but it was a great move for my sexual confidence. It was more body shyness I...

You overcome fear by doing exactly that activity you fear. I overcame my fear of talking on the phone by talking on the phone regularly. Need to call the doctor? Don't let your parents do it, do it yo...

We concentrate so much on words that we want to let them out exactly HOW we want and WHEN we want, which makes us stutter. You just shared a good tip there, and I really want to use it next time I'm t...

Same as my experience. To get stuttering off my mind, I had to stop fighting it. For me, the answer came in not trying to cure it. In retrospect it makes perfect sense. I'm very skeptical of the benef...

I was actually able to reduce my stutter a lot by not focusing in what I was saying. The main problem was that every single speech therapist who I talked to told me to focus on how I was saying words....

When you do hours of research like I do, you realise certain things keep coming up. As I said, the things that helped me were under a different term than "overcoming stuttering". What happened was I...

It is possible to be charismatic and charming. Witty? Not a chance if some one has a moderate to severe stutter....

Remember, above all, that you're always going to be the one who cares the most about your stutter. I remember reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, and thinking much of it didn't apply to m...
