Honestly dude, we place too many expectations upon ourselves! When you place your mindset on your stutter you forget to have fun. To dip your toes into unfamiliar territory and focusing on relaxing in...

Dude, stop talking on behalf of other people. If you dislike what he's said because it doesn't work for you then say so! I love your idea of community but it's not much of a community if, as OP has sa...

Sorry dude, but OP really does make some amazing points. Besides, what he's pretty much said is to take responsibility for your own growth. Instead of portraying a victim mentality and doing nothing t...

Yea well some people actually want to achieve fluency. It is possible plenty of people have done it. You think you help people by saying shit like this... hell no. If some kid goes on here and sees sh...

The point of this is not for a cure to stuttering. I'm not anywhere cured as I have my good and bad days just like anyone else. Im just trying to point out a mindset that helped me and I think could h...

Mindset

Mindset One thing that I noticed about scrolling through the thread is the mindset that is very toxic to stuttering. As someone who has these issues, I experience a lot about what you guys are talking...

For years I used to think like this. Always asking myself "why me?". I spent so much time dwelling on it. Wasting a lot of energy on it. It made me sad and I was further away from my goals by thinking...

The way I see it, is that I know I'm not the first person to go through this, nor will I be the last. Everything you're going through right now, someone else has endured it and surpassed that obstacle...

I just want to say that you don't have to feel like you're forced to live out your self-fulfilling prophecy of having no friends because of stuttering and social anxiety. You have a choice to stay a...

I think it has a lot more to do with passion and enenry than swearing. Whenever I am really passionate about something, I almost forget that I stutter. When you swear you are generally speaking with p...

Baby steps dude! Baby steps. There's always smaller goals to be attained before you get there. Same thing with, for example, learning how to spin on your head. It takes years to get. You have to tak...

To be clear, I am empathetic towards these situations because I've experienced them myself. But only you can make the positive change for yourself and that can be done through myriad ways. ...

If they have limiting beliefs then, yes, they'll get little reward for the effort you put in. If they want it bad enough they'll persist. Anybody that wants to overcome adversity or be the best at the...

Valid points you make. Good to hear your perspective on this. Honestly speaking, if anybody feels shame/guilt then that's their own issue to deal with. We're responsible for our own actions only. Wh...

Hey it's okay to be angry and pissed at yourself. It's an honest reaction to an honest problem. All of us want to be normal people but the truth is we're not, and i'm not even talking about our stutte...

You've not always been like this and you'll not always be like this. You know this. Don't take drugs to numb yourself. Confront what you feel and pick yourself up again. We have all walked down that r...

It depends on what you're looking for. If your goal is living the "player" life, then you're right. That's a very superficial world, and it relies a lot on first impressions. It leaves you with that b...

Thanks for the post. It's good you learned this lesson at 19 and not when you're already older. Better to go forth and risk failure and humiliation than stay in a safety bubble....

The first step

The first step So a bit of background about myself. I'm 19 years old, male and from the UK. I've had a stammer for as long as I remember. The stammer has changed from repeating letters in words when ...

"Ignore her in public" as in you two were walking around in the mall holding hands or you ignored her calls/Skype in public? Does she know you stutter? I'm also in the same position and I hate answeri...
