You have a disability. You need to accept it. I know acceptance is hard, but it doesn't mean it's permanent or that it can't be managed, but for now you have a serious health issue which significantly...

We have to come to realization that this is the cards we were dealt. I understand how frustrating it is to not communicate properly. But it could of been a lot worse. If someone is bothered by it, fuc...

What happens after your block? Are you fluent? I think self disclosure is important, even if it’s via the Stuttering Foundation’s “I stutter” card. If you can’t change it or cure it, you have to f...

I'm a stuttering photographer. No shame about it!

I'm a stuttering photographer. No shame about it! My name is Adley Haywood and I'm a stuttering photographer. I've been doing photography on the side for about 4 years now and I have always struggled ...

Can you ask your speech therapist to walk with you outside during therapy and simulate difficult situations? Part of speech therapy can include ordering a coffee and dealing with real life situations....

yeah it sucks, it almost feels like you can either pretend to be fluent and not really say what you want or you say what you want and stutter. i'm trying to just be more honest and open about my stutt...

Thats very interesting, Daoism is actually what helped me too! The Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu made a profound difference in my life and stutter. Excellent advice. I found myself avoiding certain word...

The best fluent ally story I heard was when a PWS was speaking and everyone was listening, like normal and someone else made a jerky comment. Everyone gave the asshole the look of death and turned the...

Oh, like that. Well, it'll be different now. Surely there are others to talk to than some you know make fun of stutter? Also, regardless of whether they make fun of it, you don't have to lie. Consid...

I recommend you go to a speech therapist who deals with stuttering. They can help you deal with the emotional aspect of stuttering by practicing "acceptance". It would do wonders for you And your outl...

21 years old Italian stutterer here, been one since 6-7 years old. It's true, you probably can't get rid of stuttering completely, but you can improve, build up confidence and silence your thoughts a...

i agree with funkmaster! meditation and thinking about daoism has helped me (like giving into the stutter as opposed to fighting it). caffeine and alcohol probably adversely affects my stutter, too, b...

>i come up with a BS excuse You don't have to. You could just state, clearly and simply, "I have a stutter". Stutter is just a thing that some people have. There's nothing to hide. Also, go back ...

All of them. All the factors. And sometimes none of them. That is to say, it varies hugely how stutter manifests (from my perspective, at least). Sure, some cases seem to demonstrate a tendency in a ...

Someone who does not have the patience to listen to what you have to say is simply not worth your time. Don't evaluate your performance based on other people's response. I have learnt to be confiden...

I know exactly how you feel. I've had issues in the past with attending classes during name introductions, and even though teachers suggested that they inform the class that I stuttered beforehand, or...

What makes it easier? What good will that do for me and I'm so uncomfortable with hearing it and having to listen to others makes me weary. I can't even watch youtube videos about it. Okay I'll PM you...

Are you seeing a therapist? I think you would benefit greatly from it! Sometimes I think that too. Like, I just want to talk like "normal" people do but in the end we just have to accept who we are ...

No. I tried the ones that deal with my speech but not the ones where I have to tell people or whatever or accepting it...

Yes, there is an expectation to speak properly, but not fluently. I have done some interviews for internships. For my last internship my employer had to choose between me and 9 other candidates. We al...
