Anyone else experience this viscous cycle?

Anyone else experience this viscous cycle? I’m a covert stutterer for the most part. For as long as I can remember people always told me that to overcome or accept my stuttering I just needed to put m...

Strangely for me it’s the opposite. When I put myself out there and manage to be fluent, the more fluent I become. Whereas if I put myself out there and stutter, the shame reinforces it and then I nee...

The big question! I thought about this so many times, it’s ridiculous. Part of me sees the glory: I’d be an actress! A comedian! The most interesting person at the party! But then I truly think what I...

In my experience, the more i avoid speaking out of embarrassment/convenience/shame, the more disfluent i become, like a spiraling effect. The more i say “screw it” and put myself out there regardless ...

I try more and more, I speak and approach others with or without stuttering, I talk about it openly and I try more and more to let go, but I have the impression that the energy I spend trying to do al...

I'm experiencing exactly the same scenario you're describing. I've been wondering however if part of what im experiencing as worse stuttering, is me having the confidence to try and say how I feel on...

“yUo dON’t SoUNd sO bAD wHaT’S ThE sTReSs AbOuT??” People don’t understand how much work it is to pass as fluent. They walk on a sidewalk while we walk in deep mud and maintain their pace....

Hi! I'm a Speech Language Pathologist, and I think you did a fantastic job with your presentation. Did you stutter? Yes, but you stuttered very naturally, it didn't seem like there was a lot of pressu...

My stutter review

I'm tired

I'm tired I'm just tired... It is not stuttering itself that's making me tired, it is the mental effort I exert everyday to speak as normal as possible. When I became 17 years old (I'm 21 now), I thou...

Looking to hear about your experiences: How do you use visual or multi-modal communication, such as AI speech recognition and translation, while navigating stuttering?What needs to be improved？

Oh yes, been there too. I'm a nervous wreck almost always, actually😂 Got a great job, though. When my boss started interviewing me, I immediately warned him about my stutter and asked to not to pay a...

Clearly they’re already in a meeting with important people. At this point they should just be able to hide their stutter and fly under the radar. It’s literally on them at this point, like they should...

im not super open about it and ive only met the mom a handful of times. i think i am just going to have to try my best to be confident and still talk to people tbh...

I’ve accommodated myself by picking jobs that don’t require me to be extremely talkative or don’t place an immense amount of importance on speech. Why would you wanna go to work stressed everyday? T...

My 2 cents: Venting is good. However, find an online stuttering group, a speech therapist, a life coach, or other entity or community to help you address your feelings toward your stutter. I'm 54,...

This is a fascinating article because it reminds me so much of bouts I went through with stuttering. Duda basically had lost his confidence because the bad so heavily outweighed the good. He may hav...

Hey There! I'm 21 so in a similar boat to you, age wise and can totally sympathise with you about all those social situations you were speaking about. I think for me what was most important was let...

As a 40 year old who's been stuttering since 4 years old, let me tell you, stutter is not ruining you, you think it is, but it's actually a gift from God. I have a similar stutter pattern, there's a l...

My stutter is ruining me

My stutter is ruining me I feel like venting a little bit, i have the type of stutter where i get blocks on certain words, i litterally can not say the sound of the word without sounding super stupid....
