That seems like one of those spiral things. Like when I was a teenager, I could talk on the phone every single day, no problem. Then I hit my twenties and a couple bad experiences with having to make ...

Now, slavery is defined as someone being forced to do something for someone else, without the former wanting to. In what way are you forcing yourself to do something you don't want to? Seems to me you...

Ah ok. I guess everyone's stutter is different :) Personally my stutter became worse when I paid more attention to it and made it the center of my life. I mentioned that in my post. Before I was 17,...

No, I think that's silly. People doing physical rehab wouldn't ever consider such a thing, why should we? Ignoring your stutter won't make it go away. The less we speak, the less fluent we get. In t...

I know. Even when it comes to speaking by yourself, the stutter will still be there. But if we can achieve a level of comfort when we are around people (like how comfortable we are when we are alone),...

Yes! I pretty much just approach it like my eye color. It's not a bad thing or a good thing. It just is. I can't help it. It's a part of who I am. And if someone doesn't like it, then they can fuck of...

Don't be ashamed! Why should you apologize about stuttering? You've done nothing wrong. That will only show people that you're insecure about yourself...and the insecurity that people see in you is WO...

Whoa calm down man. Yeah stammering sucks but its something that can be tackled. It's good that you realized what the source of you stuttering was. That's the most important step. My advice is, comple...

You just have to accept the fact that you stutter and not try to hide it. Avoid substituting words that you stutter on, take your time speaking, and if all fails and you run into a block, just stop co...

What's the worst that could happen? You stutter and people think, "Oh, that person stutters." It's not the end of the world. Expect that you will stutter. Make it a certainty in your mind. Face the fe...

I've also come to grips with this. I think a stutter is something you cannot fully eradicate, it can always come back. But you can bring it down, so that it doesn't affect your life and stop you from ...

There is no quick fix 'hack' for a stutter. A lot of people don't like hearing it, but they need to. The best way to gain fluency (gain fluency, not 'cure'--there is no cure) is to accept that a stutt...

Might sound crazy now, but you should embrace your stutter. It may possibly be something you’ll live with even w/ therapy. I’ve stuttered since I could remember (im 22 now) & was embarrassed const...
