My stammer keeps me humble

My stammer keeps me humble It seems like no matter how well I’m doing professionally my stutter brings me back to square one. As much as I try not to let my ego get to me, it sometimes makes me feel c...

I am the same way. I've been a singer all my life. I even told ok voice lessons for a few years. Singing is an amazing feeling for me - it's something that means a lot to me but it's also because I ha...

Why I love to sing

Why I love to sing I have a stutter and I've had one for a long as I can remember. It's not so severe that it affects my life choices or anything else than my self-esteem. I battle with insecurities a...

It's not as simple as mind over body. I don't care how positive you are, if you block on every single sound you're not going to accept that. But there are things we can do to make it easier. A good I ...

Don't worry :) You didn't come off as conceited. I knew what you meant. The truth is nobody knows what happens behind closed doors. I hear stories and see videos of several stutterers have the courage...

I hate interviewing as much as the next person, but let me tell you something that really surprised me at my most recent interview I had. The employer asked me this question: Do you have any restricti...

Thanks for the advice. I suppose with my family I am doing it more openly so I guess those are small steps. It just sucks when I go from family to strangers. It's like a huge step that often I'm not r...

But there are plenty of people who have stopped stuttering. Stuttered their whole life and suddenly quit. I can speak fluent when im alone, so i CAN physically speak. Is it not possible to change my w...

I think that the more you just do it, the easier it gets. You don't spend energy on it, and it will get more fluent over time. Yes, it will be weird and odd at first. Until you have gotten used to it...

Which would you prefer: Using a speech technique to actually improve your speech and quality of life or allowing fear to dictate the rest of your days? I don't say this to be mean or cruel. Genuinely,...

I see what you're saying. There are times I do let it all out and it always feels weird when I do. If it starts to feel too weird I go back to hiding. The other day I was talking to a friend and usual...

That's the first thing I learned as well. Acceptance to me seems like the top of the ladder. Confidence needs to be gained, self respect for myself needs to be gained and over all not giving a fuck ne...

The first thing I learned in speech therapy (or was supposed to learn) was to accept my stutter. Turns out that's very hard, my stutter ruins my life. I like foreign languages and giving talks but stu...

I am at a point where I manage to hide my stutter so much so that other people normally don't notice that I have it. That's good, to a large extent, but also bad because my life is still controlled b...

I don’t like it but I pretty much accepted it since nobody gave me shit for it oddly enough. Lots of kids at my school have it worse than me so I guess it’s become the norm. It isn’t anything weird an...

You're right. Everybody stutters differently. And the people I was referring to in my opening post, for all I know they could have worse stuttering behaviors. People could have it worse and yet they h...

Sure I have moments and days where it sucks and I dislike how I sound or come off to someone. But the hell with it. I let go of it immediately because it's at no fault to me or my personality or who I...

>cures As a sort of obligatory reminder, we don't look for *cures* in stutter. I mean, in principle, we might do so, but none are known. Whether stutter research will eventually uncover something ...

I like a challenge. And I like the challenge my stutter conjures up out of everyday situations...

I still live my life the best as possible but I dont like my stutter still....
