I'm so sorry for the way you feel OP. He's right, you need to change your vision on your stutter. This psychiatrist I saw a few years ago changed my vision of my stutter forever: I started to stutter ...

I don't know if this will help, but personally when i changed my view on stuttering it really helped me. I don't look at it like im cursed, its just an extra thing that i have to deal with. Try to acc...

Are you a walking thesaurus?

Are you a walking thesaurus? When I talk I legitimately think several words ahead, and when I know a word is coming up that doesn't treat me well, I will flip in a synonym. I can usually do this on th...

Yeah, it can take a while to get there. :) It's sad that so many of us spend so much time in acrimony towards ourselves. I'd really like to change that for everyone....

"Note that your own reaction to it is the crucial thing here, and not that of other people. It's yourself you have to manage - not them. :)" - Great point. Just now, at 33, started to be more open and...

Stutter tends to vary a lot over time, yeah. Have you had it increase in severity before? Note that your own reaction to it is the crucial thing here, and not that of other people. It's yourself you...

I used to be. If I had to do it I'd have to go into a different room and close the door and it would be quite stressful. Now it's still uncomfortable but I can do it. Even in front of other people if ...

I make a joke about it every chance I get. Iv even made some very dark jokes. If i learned anything from my life with a stutter it is make jokes. Iv gotten so much respect from coworkers or people I m...

I can relate to you my friend. I'm 28. Droped out of college have had nothing but part time jobs. I just want to let ya know it's not your stutter. It's hard yes but I recently just got full time for ...

Great! Keep talking! :) As for practicing on your own, this might not bring about much in terms of practical results, since it's a different situation/context than actually speaking to anyone. Howev...

First of all: You gotta stutter. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but you've gotta get out of the mindset that stuttering is something you must avoid at all costs. Stutter is just a thing that happen...

I found that stuttering also fluctuates a lot with different levels of confidence. Working out and being in shape, dressing well and doing voice projection exercises all change how you feel about your...

I started as a Physical Therapy Aide, wanted to got to PT School but then realized I was way too small for all that and then became a nurse and now after 7 years will be a nurse practitioner, hopefull...

Practising is good - as is finding a breathing technique to lessen anxiety. But, tbh what helped me during my performance degree is just owning the fact that I have a vocal difference. In presentation...

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. I have tried these last 2 years as hard as I can By taking my stutter as a top sport. I practice like a top athlete. reading out loud and recording my self. It...

You can’t get rid of your stutter. Yeah, I know, it sucks, we all wish we /could/ speak fluently, but that’s why we’re all on r/stutter, isn’t it?? Your speech impediment needs to be something you can...

Ya GOTTA make jokes about it. Your speech impediment needs to be something you can laugh at (instead of something you’re ashamed of and/or trying to hide). I learned to /own/ my stutter by introducin...

ironically the number one step in overcoming your stutter is not caring that you stutter. Not saying its easy, it will not happen over night but if you keep that in mind your on the right track....

Yeah stuttering definitely varies from day to day considering your mood, who your around and how comfortable you feel with yourself, If you are content with your stutter it’s really not a factor in ...

If the stutter occurs when you explain things to people, perhaps instead of reading aloud you could try exposure therapy techniques with having you explain things to people? Congrats on mastering rea...
