There’s a miscommunication when people say to “accept your stutter”. What they mean is “you have hard silent blocks and many uncomfortable and bizarre avoidance behaviors (see below) because your bra...

I definitely used to. I don't remember who it was but a couple years ago so.eone made a post here about their story and one line that sticks with me was "I always assumed that one day my stutter would...

Yeah I feel you with that, what helped me was to start off small, don't have to have full conversation with them. Just try to make eye contact and say stuff like hey, how are you, good morning....

I'm fluent when speaking to myself... could say any difficult word or phrase there is without stuttering. Immediately another person is in the picture ... it's a different story....

Nope. Its a way to accept what is not even there. It just reinforces that you are insecure about your stutter and its a compulsive behavior. It is borderline OCD. There are 1000s of opportunities to ...

Imagine this. Someone is saying something to you, but instead of responding, you just think of a response. Can he know what you were thinking ? No. Based on what words come out of your mouth, people c...

This makes a lot of sense and it’s also terrifying. I’m a fellow covert stutterer and I can feel the tension building up as I read! 😀 But I also know that all you mention helped me in the past to get...

Do you allow yourself to stutter or try to hide it?

Do you allow yourself to stutter or try to hide it? I always go ‘human-thesaurus-mode’ and try to skip around the words I actually want to say (often leading to me saying things in weird ways I think)...

While I 100% agree in my own case. The biggest leap forward in my life is accepting I stutter and will forever and I just have to be OK with myself. For some people it's so debilitating that I don't ...
