Depends on the tone. I'm pretty good at letting people know they can either deal with it or fuck off if they are being a dick about. ...

Well, fuck. I had another one today and it was bad, probably my worst performance in public speaking in a long time. Like, "staring in the void hoping for it to end soon" kind of bad. I'll keep goin...

I've found that we are our own cures. It took me almost 30 years but I've found it's all about our attitudes, beliefs, emotions. The biggest strides I made is when I stopped avoiding speaking situati...

As someone who stutters too, I generally don’t let it bother me. Sure growing up in elementary school I was bullied about it, but over time people grew up and accept it. Even as a young adult in the w...

She doesn't care in the fact it doesn't change her opinion of me but I think she'd care how much in affects my life if she really knew ...

I'm so dumb I just realised this would be a sub.

I'm so dumb I just realised this would be a sub. I'm 30. I have always stuttered. Reading this sub I can see my experiences are pretty much the same as everyone else but just thought I'd make a positi...

I've been able to do this more an more and it really does help. It's like okay, I'm pretty sure I might stutter but whatever, most people know already anyway, and some other people don't but I guess ...

There is one way to speak normal again

There is one way to speak normal again There was moment in my work when I came to conclusion that I make all this stupid faces and noises trying to speak normal yet anyone clearly see there is nothing...

Nice to hear someone like me, over time I've just learned to laugh it off and let people know I have a stutter if I can't get something out...

At least for me, just being patient is enough, as I grew in confidence my stutter diminished and rather than being constantly there it only happened in periods. I'm sure for some people structured the...

I’m not sure I have much advice that’s not cliche or something most stutterers have heard 100 times before. Take it day by day. If you had a bad day one day don’t let negative thoughts from it ruin y...

Nice job. I particularly like your line about “paths of difficulty.” It’s easy for any one of us who stutters to feel alone and lose sight of the fact that other people have other difficulties whethe...

You can accept these things for your own case, but don't go spreading them as universal. _Especially_ don't push the notion that we should _limit_ ourselves. That's all. :)...

Yeah! Honestly keep your head up. Cleo is right, some days are harder than others. For me the best thing to do is not to think of it. Whenever I am talking, as a stutterer, I am not even thinking abou...

It helps to own your stutter which in the long term helps more than substitution. ...

Using 'theeee' and 'ayyyy' as opposed to 'the' and 'a' to slowly lead up to a blocker and avoid it with a smooth 'run-up'. It must come across as though I'm thinking about what to say next. I believe ...

My Dad had a severe stutter but he just kept talking everybody's ear off. As a teen with a moderate stutter I felt embarrassed for him as I tried to hide mine by never talking. Now that I'm older I ca...

Exactly! Defying someone just for his or her stutter is ridiculous! Thanks for your reply!...

Thanks for your kind comment and for the link. The wife's stutter has gotten much better thanks for speech therapy and gaining confidence over the years. When she was in her teens she couldn't finish ...

Thank you for your lengthy response! Yes, my fiance told be that her stutter has gotten progressively worse when she was in high school (to the point where she couldn't finish a sentence without a sta...
