Friends of friends are the way to go. Approaching random women at the bar has too many social stipulations and weirdness. Meeting someone at a friend's party ( for example) adds a level of comfort to ...

I’d just say be patient. I met my husband through trial and error lol. He never cared I stuttered and would punch someone if they made fun of me while he was there...

I'm having a rough morning so it'll be a short response. You'll be fine. Women that are put off by a speech impediment are not worth your time. I stuttered fairly severely when I met my wife and she ...

Man words to live by confidence is key. Not just woman but any situation in life you find yourself in, if you are confident in what you say and how you say it stutter or no stutter people will respond...

Don’t try to “outgrow” your stutter. Own it. My stutter was most manageable when I didn’t associate any negative connotation to it, I didn’t see it as a problem at all. Unfortunately, around 3 years a...

Everyday brings a tough situation. I’ll sometimes spend hours thinking about that terrible stutter that slipped up. But honestly, what I do is just embrace it and learn from it. For example, I was t...

I really enjoyed the babysitting one. I’ve had kids do that to me as well, where they just say I talk funny and move on. My baby brother actually said that before I explained to him what Stuttering wa...

I'm completely confident with my stutter but I feel the same way. I was in a speech therapy group for stutterers in school and I couldn't stand it. My stutter is very mild so listening to others w...

I live with a severe stutterer and I know it is tough, but feeling down helps absolutely nothing. You are good enough and the toxic people are not worth your time or worry. There are people out ther...

Yeah, you might be right. I’ve come a long way with my own stutter, though I still have my off days/periods. Still, I guess I have it easier than a lot of other stutterers. Thanks for taking your...

I did it a couple of years ago and have actually benefited greatly from it. I still use the techniques everyday, in almost every sentence. I was a bit skeptic as well. It is very expensive. It is a ...

I’ve commented here before on someone asking a similar question. I can tell you that I suffered the most in college. People don’t understand it and you’re constantly either having to socialize and spe...

I've tried a few things here and there, but nothing really worked. What has helped me is meditation, cutting coffee, and being honest with myself and not expecting perfection. It's fine if you stutt...

I always get a good feeling inside when I go out to eat somewhere and am able to order what I want without much difficulty. Congrats!...

It's the little things. Plus you did it anyway knowing you might stutter....

In my experience people end up paying more attention to what you say than how you say it. At work or among friends, after maybe the initial shock, most people regardless of status see past it quite fa...

#long post😓 Great question. The physical speaking technique McGuire teaches uses strong costal breathing, is assertive, powerful, and uses basic speech mechanics. Psychologically, the program teache...

The program has changed my life. Yes hard work and dedication is required. Controlling a stutter is a life long journey and it can be done. Beyond stuttering book by David McGuire is available through...

There is no cure. Speech therapy can help you learn tactics to deal with stuttering as it comes. Yoga/other can help with your breath. Mental health services can help you weather the frustration and i...

You did nothing wrong and you aren't alone. Have you tried "good" speech therapy? If talking to a group of 15 is difficult then talking to a group of a few hundred is going to be more so. There's no c...
