The point of this thread was not to tell someone to "shut up". It's written as greatly inappropriate and way too harsh. I am aware of that. Big number of people here just gave up and stopped trying ...

I agree with the OP. This is a bit harsh, but so, so true - nobody will magically take your stutter away, nothing will completely heal you only because you feel bad about it. You either get out there ...

I think that because seeing other people who stutter is so rare we think our version of stuttering is the only one. For me, if I push through it, practice my techniques and get out there are start usi...

Although i generally agree with your point, self-loathing wont get you nowhere, motivation goes a bit deeper than "just do it". ...

Well said. But I never understood the comparison of disorders that I too often see. How does someone else being a quadriplegic help a stutterer feel better about their situation? I don't know about o...

I knew when I began reading it was the same person who did that equally shitty post a few days ago blaming his/her parents for stuttering and having a resulting shitty life because of it. Seriously?! ...

Fuck this shit man, I know it's rough but this is a terrible way to look at it. I have a stutter, I also have a sexy girlfriend, a good job that I worked hard for and a strong social life. You might...

I'm sorry, but this is a really negative outlook. I have a really bad stutter and I still am extremely successful career wise, I get plenty of invites to parties throughout my lifetime. I've gotten la...

This forums is here for just that. I just ask that you consider than stuttering isn't a death sentence. There are people out there with stutters more severe than yours who are taking their lives into ...

Bullshit. Do you blame them for giving you brown eyes instead of blue or being short instead of tall or whatever? Do you thank them for being born here instead of there? Gimme a break. I have two kid...

I just had a 45 min presentation yesterday. Don't be afraid to stutter. Make your presentation how you would if you were fluent and practice it in the mirror. Just go in there confident and don't be a...

That's true but even if you practice saying your name in these situations, it might actually make you more confident because you might have times where you say your name with almost no block and it fe...

Thanks, that's very inspirational and that's what my other physician professors told me too. That it won't be a big problem as they have many friends in the field but you'd have to make a certain syst...

You're welcome! Glad I could help. Introductions of any kind are usually nightmares for people with a stutter. Having confidence is the hardest thing to do with a stutter, but it's also the most impo...

Your TRUE you does not stutter (I would love feedback on this from others who stutter)

Your TRUE you does not stutter (I would love feedback on this from others who stutter) I, as many of you have I'm sure, have noticed that the voice I hear in my head while I think or read to myself, d...

Any success stories?

Any success stories? I am new to this sub and when I found it I was excited because I thought at the least there would be hints and tips being swapped about how to reduce stutters, at most, ways to be...

It's never easy for us, we all know that. I get depressed too from time to time, but as I get older I learned how to live with it. Small things that boost my confidence can have a huge impact on my ov...

never think oft youself less than the others rather think of yourself as someone better because you managed to come so far with your stutter :D I see my stutter as a hindrance but it pushes me to ove...

Well I will tell you what I did, and it worked out for me. I got a job out of college doing some IT consulting, and it sucked because of lots of bosses and peers and new clients all the time and phon...

I think you're spot on, and that's something I definitely need to work on. I really let my stutter define me, and my self confidence takes a big hit every time anyone makes a comment or laughs about i...
