Personally I wouldn’t like that. Wouldn’t want to be categorised into a ‘stammerer’ category, however helpful it could be....

Yes probably not the right path to go down. I personally hate to think of a stammer as a disability, even though it basically is. I wouldn’t like to be put into a different category because of it, a ‘...

Speech therapy would be able to help you. And as you get older the more "accepting" you will be of your stutter. If you can't do speech therapy there are some useful techniques posted on YouTube that...

I wouldn’t say avoidance is the goal...but instead of causing anxiety because the student has no choice but to do a speech I think it’s beneficial to give some control to the student. I started by giv...

You should know all of this is completely normal. Most stutterers have physical manifestations, and eyes closing/twitching is probably the most common. I agree with natabean that disclosing your stutt...

A good speech therapist will work on the mental aspects as well as physical. Acceptance and mindfulness were/are important to helping with your speech....

Everybody experiences some amount of dysfluency. This is why for people with a mild stutter others claim to not even notice it. Dysfluency is normal, and is commonly tuned out. You call it a failure ...

I really agree. I actually [just posted about something similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/8kkw7j/my_strategy_ive_been_using_for_quite_some_time/) before seeing your post. You just got...

My 'strategy' I've been using for quite some time now: be very open about your stuttering!

A bit of hope <3

A bit of hope <3 Ok, so I hear and read a lot of times about us stutter feeling too shy to talk to girls etc. My experience has far different and here is why. I used to think the same that my Sutte...

i remember her saying that stuttering is apart of me so why would i care .....

The more you accept stuttering as something apart of you, the easier you’ll find confidence in yourself. Insecurity can only drive people away. Be and accept yourself, it’s much more attractive to peo...
