Obviously there’s no “cure”. I stuttered horribly as a kid and eventually it stopped completely. I never thought about it and after years and years (maybe 5th-11th grade or so) I forgot I ever stutter...

I’m 27 and in IT. I’ve been struggling with it my entire life and lately I’ve been doing way better with it. I find it helps to just talk slow and not only relax yourself, but relax the mind. Once you...

Hi! 47, have stuttered since I was 5. Makes the world crumble when you are younger but when you get older it becomes “meh”. Although I recently started a new job and I am finding my thoughts are qu...

I understand. I have a have a mild-severe stutter and sometimes I feel like I am wasting peoples time trying to talk to them. I have two friends that have never made fun of my stutter but that’s about...

If you take it hard, you will become more and more stressed and anxious. To me stutter isn't really bad. I can still speak pretty good. The main thing is the more you think about your speech the harde...

Yeah there’s times in my life, I even had a period of about 3-4 years where I accepted that it was a part of me and in turn I didn’t stutter nearly as much. The mind is the trickiest thing though and...

You're like me, my stuttering is caused by anxiety and lack of confidence. When I'm feeling really good about myself, I don't stutter at all. The longest I've gone without stuttering is about a week....

It is annoying but I no longer perceive these situations as embarrassing. Why should you? Just take your time saying what you need to say and don't worry about it. If someone stares at you, just smile...

I am a moderate to severe stutterer. I use that all the time with my non-stuttering friends. It just adds to the humor! I also like to say, “Did I stutter!” When someone asks me to repeat myself. ...
