It takes a while to accept your stutter, but once you do, you embrace it! I’m glad that you were able to do this. Show the stutter who’s boss around here!...

That's the way to go! We are more than our stutter. Don't let it define who you are. I have gone a similar path and, from my experience, it's a combination of speech work and attitude work (confidenc...

I actually quite enjoy it and find it cute, as long as it's a stutterer youtubing and not something else. Of course watching someone severely stuttering can be painful, as others said....

Self acceptance is the first step. Confidence and self-respect is what ultimately "cures" it. Whenever I have a bad speech day, I read in my journal of a day that I achieved great speaking success, da...

It's not embarassing. It's just a thing. Other things happen to other people too. There's no secret involved here. A stutter is just a stutter... and if your life is improved by informing the people a...

I have the same thing as you, and I think most people refer to it as a stammer. Like you as well, I usually have trouble with words that start with vowels (especially wonderful that both my first and ...

These videos are hidden gems. You often hear success stories of fluent speakers recount their struggles with stuttering (ex: Joe Biden) but you never see videos documenting those times of struggle. It...

One thing that helped me accept stuttering, after years of going through therapy or trying out devices and even hypnosis, was realizing literally no one around me cared about it. My dad stutters too, ...

Acceptance. Stuttering made me go MGTOW 😎. I still engage in physical only relations from time to time though. I wouldn't be this successful in life if I stressed over chasing girls....

Short answer - yes. A person who stutters can be a good public speaker. My stutter was one of my biggest fears going into law school, especially since I knew I wanted to go into litigation. I was so...

I would give a +1 to cbd as well. I honestly don't think it could hurt. My stutter was definitely on the severe side when I was younger. It was very frustrating.. Sometimes around 1996 my parents ...

Exactly! I hate seeing ads targeted at me for a "stuttering cure". For many of us, there is no cure and we just need to learn to deal with it. It's not about learning not to stutter, it's about learni...
