If you're looking for you a cure you're going to end up disappointed. No cure exists, but that doesn't mean you cant communicate how you want to and be comfortable saying everything you want to....

Thanks for your input. I agree that establishing a high degree of self-assurance (my word for your "DGAF") is going to be beneficial. It's interesting to me that you separate self-assurance from confi...

Well of course, theirs two sides to every coin. In the end the only variable you have some control over is you. Two mind sets i've had for interviews. 1. Ok, if I stutter I'm screwed. They will think...

Start small and build up. that's how you go from calling a Jimmy Johns to making a call at work. slow but steady progress. And don't worry about the other person's time. it's their job to take calls a...

I have had people react both negatively and positively to my stuttering. As a child I got teased of course but as an adult that isn't a problem. Ultimately you have control over how you let these thin...

You make a good point about how I never explained what confidence was and how it would help if I explained how I think confidence would help the person who stutters. I was more going for the person w...

Hi nukefudge, I definitely get where you're coming from. And I don't want to say that what I see or experience is the same as others. The first thing I want to point out is that the piece is about wha...

Hang in there man. You will find people who will wait, and who won't see you for your speaking performance but for the content of your words. Stick with those people, they are your closest friends. As...

YMMV, but for me it got easier as I got older. My stutter was at its worst in college, most likely due to the fact that my stress level was at a high. As I got older I gained confidence and stopped ...
