im 36 years old..have always had a severe stutter, around my late 20s i finally had enough of it. Was tired of running away from it, letting it control my life, making me avoid things i needed to do ...

we've all been there, take it one day at a time work on your speech as much as you can. Don't hide your stutter it only makes it worse, accept it, work with it, joke about it so it gives it less powe...

I feel you. You're not alone and as an older guy I can tell you it gets better. Especially when you stop giving a shit about the way you talk. And when you get to that point you'll stutter less. ...

I disagree with your disagreement. I’m 32 and I let my stutter dictate almost every aspect of my life. Job, relationships, activities, heck even ordering food. Thinking that people care about your st...

i'm sorry you had to deal with all of that! it seems like you are working and thinking about this, your views are evolving, it's great! a stutterer on stuttertalk talked about how changing your views...

dude yeah, amen. if you had to tell each person you talk with that you stutter and blah blah blah, it would take forever! it's not worth your time, i just roll with it. some people like to do self-adv...

I pay $25 per one hour session without insurance. Not sure where they charge $400. I think you should try looking at it from a different perspective. It is common knowledge there is no cure for stut...

It's funny because I actually do have a great personality and when I am out with others, I tell them that I don't care what others think. I even offer this advice to people who ask me for advice with ...

>Directed towards those who have adapted the mindset of not giving a fuck and if your going to stutter, so what. It is who you are. I ask again, HOW DID YOU DO IT? My desire to express myself and ...

If all you feel is shame and embarrassment about your stutter then your speech will never improve. Once you accept the fact that you stutter, and the fact that it is OK to stutter, only then will it s...

A speech therapy clinic that focuses on acceptance opened my eyes. It was a 2 week intensive clinic and for part of it you walk around the college campus and survey random people about stuttering whil...

I understand it is proven. Currently I am not able to dissociate the shame associated with it and maybe thats why it may not work. I am focusing on trying to coexist with the condition....

Hm, it seems to me you're not going about this in an entirely fruitful way. But first off, let me say that I think you're on your way there. Especially with the steps you've taken to seek out help fo...

How did you do it? Accepting your Stutter. Please Read! Hello Everybody. Pretty new to reddit and am so glad I have found this forum. I have been lurking on this forum for a long time now, checking ou...

Wow, it sounds like you are a good place of acceptance in your journey. And at such a young age. When I was your age, I was basically perfecting my stealth hiding techniques. I was a master avoider - ...

I wish I had thought of the years ago. I have spent most of my life trying to speak in a way that is expected of me. There are times I can have a short interaction with a person and they won’t even he...

I used to work a lot on my speech to make folk comfortable- including myself. But when I realised that my problem with my speech was that I had internalised all these negative things about speaking sl...

Thank you so much for your great insights on this. I too stopped giving a fuck about what other people think about the same time that I stopped trying to hide my stuttering. It’s far easier to just st...

Very well said, nuke! You always have a great way of wording things. >I don't have the resources to also care about them, since I'm already very involved in speaking. Exactly my feelings. This is...
