This is exactly what you have to do. This is my senior year at uni and when I stutter when talking to someone, I don't explain why it happens. Usually people don't interrupt, and if they ask why I am ...

Don't be nervous! Embrace your stutter, it is who you are and can be a conversational topic! I graduated university and didn't let it bother me. Was recruited by a large IT company and called back to ...

I've found this is the best way. It's not something I think I'm gonna grow out of so just embrace it. If someone has a problem with it's their problem. I'm done allowing it to be a problem for me. ...

I guess my success story is that I have “embraced” my stutter. The first time I stutter, I will say “I do stutter” and just give a little background. I am 47, though, and it took me a long time to g...

I'm starting uni next week too, and I'm going to start with the ultimate strategy - try not to care. It's inevitably going to happen, so I think just completely ignoring/accepting it is the best bet. ...

Not everyone on this sub is working toward not stuttering. Some are wishing they didn't stutter at all. Some are wishing that if they have to stutter, that it could be less. Some are or have done...

I guess, my stutter didn't make my life hard..Other things in life happened that made it harder (Both parents died before I was 18). I guess the point is you cant let something hinder you.. My luck ...

Thanks for this post - good things can happen when you look at the positive sides of the stutter and openly share your experiences. I always try to mention my stutter in the first few minutes of a jo...

Sure I would get rid of it if I could (with no side effects). But if a genie granted me one wish I can think of a lot of things I would wish for before curing my stutter. ...

There's a big difference between wanting to go back in time and change your life in a major way, or having said change happen now. I would absolutely have my stutter removed today if I could. I can't...
