I think talking about stuttering, self-disclosing, whatever you call it takes time. It should be hard at first but it should get easier and easier as time goes. I know that's cliche, but it's how it h...

Your biggest challenge turns into your biggest strength because you spend so much time dealing with it that you become good at it. You know how hard it is so you have empathy for others. My son’s li...

The right ones not so much. I dated pretty extensively before finding one that wanted to stick around. It was never brought up to me in any encounter. That is not to say it was never an issue, just th...

First of all, Jake, I just wanna say there's quite a few people in the same boat as you man, and I know life is tough, but you'll get to where you wanna be if you try your best. To touch on some of th...

I’m a mom. I don’t stutter so take my words for what they’re worth. Stuttering sucks, people can be assholes and the anxiety and the struggle is real. Someone posted recently that it’s about accep...

Hey there! Hang in there -- it sounds tough, I've had similar feelings at times. I definitely had an inferiority complex of sort when I was younger about being with a girl. I remember crying after a...

You shouldnt let your stutter ruin friendships, I mean if your old friends sucked that bad and made fun of your stuttering then screw em. In college I stuttered pretty bad around a friend while we wer...

Same. I've been working in retail for the past 5 years and it was embarrassing to stutter in front of customers at work it least for the 1st few years but now i just kinda laugh my stutter off if i ge...

Smiling and laughing can be a reaction to uncomfortableness. It used to bother me more, but now I just assume that is why. They don't want to be offensive but don't know how to respond. What does upse...

Sometimes, I laugh/smile at my own stutter. Maybe it's a question of personality, but I'm able to see the comedy in it. I don't mind other people sharing in that (not that there isn't a limit to that,...

I have tried piracetam, when I was super anxious and stressed out when I stuttered, but it didn't work. Also, some anti-anxiety meds would help you with the anxiety (and that leads to more fluency) bu...

Those days were always the worst! I often skipped the first day of class because I knew that we were going to have to introduce ourselves. Before the second class started I would just go up to the tea...

The older I got, the less I needed to do that or cared. It's only an elephant if you make it one. Everyone has problems and no one cares. They already know you stutter. You already know they have a bi...

That was almost 7 years ago. As of today I am 95% fluent and only stutter when I am reeeeeally tired. I hope my story can inspire you. That would be amazing. ...

I didn't like discussing it for the longest time but I've worked through it. Now I make it clear that I'm open to questions about it and that I'm ok with repeating myself when necessary. Personally ...

Yes! I agree! If you’re comfortable with it, people will not care and it won’t bug them :) My stutter is not the only thing people see in me......

When I started saying to myself it was a bad habit I gained the upper hand and from there to 95% fluency. It worked for me. If it works for you to say you have a neurological problem then everythin...

I've been working on how to accept things. And I think it's going pretty well. For me, acceptance is to realize where you are at and know your boundaries and realize that there is opportunities for ac...

I’m so happy to hear it! It’s so freeing to be at peace with what is. This is where you can turn things around and help others. I can’t give “been there” support to other people on this board who ar...

Thank you for your support ! It's actually going very smooth and I have learned to get hold of it. Stuttering is a part of me and there's no way i can change that :) I have accepted it and now Im feel...
