I’m a mom so not my personal experience. I haven’t seen a “cure” but I have seen people walking through their fears and finding freedom. Your stutter is a part of you, but there’s a hell of a lot mo...

We all have things we want to say and share with people close to us. I think it would be a giant burden to repress that urge. As we get older we care less about what people think and the stutter beco...

I get what you're feeling and I'm the same in a lot of ways. Not always saying how I feel about something, etc. But honestly no, I wouldn't rather be a mute. Because I think my stutter has given me s...

Yes 100%, with being mute i feel like i would be able to accept it and get used to it. With stuttering it doesn't stay the same, the severity varies greatly which makes it really hard to accept. I rec...

Today I smashed it

Today I smashed it My background: I have had a stammer since I was 4yrs old. I apparently stopped talking altogether when it started and went through 12 years of speech therapy. The problem with me,...

I think it depends on where you are in life. I was miserable as a kid/teenager, but have found it *almost* empowering the older I get. I regularly get comments about how confident I am from people I m...

Don't give up. Yes, this shit is HARD but there is joy in life too. I really had to give up my expectations and try to appreciate the good things. The way chocolate tastes with coffee (yummm!) Hugg...

Does anyone else feel like a stutter is a motivating factor?

Does anyone else feel like a stutter is a motivating factor? I've constantly felt like my stutter has held me back in my life, and has led to me to not make friends, not play team sports, not learn ce...

Buddy, I went through the same shit last year, and at times I still see myself in the same vein these days. HOWEVER, I've seen a lot of personal growth from just doing things. There was a stage wh...

I can allow

I can allow I can allow my experience with stuttering to consist of the positive and the negative, the more and the less. I can allow my stutter. I can allow stutter and communicate. I can allow my...

Hell yeah! I stopped changing what I do because of my stutter a few years ago, and I've not only been happier but I feel that my speech has improved as well. ...

I stutter and I am

I stutter and I am I am a stutterer but will not let it silence me. I will speak. I will live. I will be me....

This is the exact same conclusion I arrived at a little while ago. For those interested, you can read my approach [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/5z1lhr/stuttering_my_personal_approac...

Great post, man. Completely agree. It always baffles me when stutterers are asking about taking this drug or that, anti-anxiety meds or even illegal substances, and yet if you ask them, they're not e...

I know how it feels. Especially in an atmosphere where you feel like you are doing wrong because you stutter. I used to think that way all the time. "If I know I'm going to stutter than why should I e...

i don't actually rely on her on for anything, i only ever talk to her when im hungry and need to eat or when she tells me to do chores, but she still forces me to do what she wants cause "she's my mom...

In that case, I feel that if you were to go to a doctor they would be aware of this. They may tell your mother you dont need it. I also would advise you to begin trying to detach from your mother a li...

Hey bud, have you ever told yourself that you CAN do it? I am a 23 year old male that has lived with a stutter my whole life. I always went about my stutter worrying about what others would think of m...

I think it belongs here somewhat. The man met a girl through a stuttering support group. Gives me a little hope! I definitely need to start getting involved in support groups. My stutter is not sever...

What i realized in the last 25 years of my life and the best tip i give to people who stutter or don't stutter is: Don't think for others, it's not something you can control. If you want to know how ...
