In my speech therapy, there were kids with more ST needs and some with less ST needs. Since we were all learning together, it was common empathy for us to try to help each other out and model the word...

Reading back over my response I can easily see a reader might think it's a woe-is-me story. That wasn't my intention. Regardless, I'm actually glad I was a stutterer. I got more from stuttering th...

Help for Stuttering

How to accept stutter

How to accept stutter I tried speech therapy for a few months and I didn’t find the techniques too helpful but one thing I learned is that when I try to replace a word I stutter on with a similar word...

Just stutter. It's that simple. The shame will go away if you dive into it. Fear only works from the shadows. You raise your hand and you ask your question while stuttering like hell. People laugh? La...

I'm a bit surprised that your fluency didn't get a bit better after your brain embraced the acceptance, not to sound judgey or anything. I've heard that once you feel comfortable and the shame is redu...

my condition is getting worse

my condition is getting worse when i was younger, i was very self cautious about my stutter and used to only speak when I knew that I would not stutter in the next sentence in the past year or so, I ...

I've been told several times that I should embrace the stutter because they think it's cute and uniquely me (in our circle)...

Exactly, it’s not easy at all, we are a 1%, we are not often comprehended, and yet you wake up everyday and try again. That has some bloody courage if you ask me, because in the end we want to live me...

Many stutterers are quite attractive, I've noticed. (Anecdotal). The few times I've someone who stutters, they're usually fashionable and attractive. Is this just us compensating by taking better care...

No no lol I didn’t say they were bad examples, just terrible situations like stuttering, probably even worse, but unlike stuttering these can be fixed. And the acceptance part was just one option amon...

All things fair, the examples you mentioned, although terrible (bullying, domestic abuse), are changeable and fixable, a stutter is not. A stutter can be worked, accepted and improved, but never fixed...

What I think about a stutterer is the same as I think of anyone who is substantially different from me: I am much more comfortable around them if they have accepted their difference, don't beat themse...

My music teacher in elementary school: "How about you just sing to me? You dont stutter when you sing! Just sing what you need!" 🙃🙃🙃...

It's okay if they don't give a fuck. You're defending yourself because you care about yourself, not about them. Let them laugh. Time will make them pay, eventually....

That's the best kind of stutter. Happy for you bro :)...

I love your attitude and agree!!! Most non stutters feel for your challenge and respect your bravery and grit!...

A lot of negative comments about stuttering here. Maybe this will help. It has helped me.

A lot of negative comments about stuttering here. Maybe this will help. It has helped me. I’m 30, I’ve been where some are here. Angry at the stutter, depressed, thinking stuttering is gonna ruin ever...

I'm jealous of you for having this mindset, because if I had it, it would reduce my stutter by a lot. Don't ever stop thinking like this, it's a path to a fulfilling and a beautiful life....

I think so - even though I still stutter every day, freely and openly. It’s not shackling me anymore....
