When I was in high school, someone gave me some simple yet good advice: fuck 'em. Fuck them. Fuck all those mother fuckers. You can't spend your whole life fearful of others. This isn't about you stut...

To add to this though -- I still do the practices daily, it's something for me to hang on to rather than just feeling bad about myself. And really simple things, like breathing while you talk, I never...

So, I did HCRI two years ago. I have mixed feelings about the experience. I was stuttering a lot at the time, and I was not in a good place with my speech. Just feeling really self-conscious and low a...

I have felt the same way, I'm 20 years older and am happy. Here's what I did. I'm a cleaning person. Yes not an impressive position but I don't have to talk. Lots of people engage me with friendly sm...

Hey i used to be just like you, then i realized, everything has a time and place. When the moment comes for something to happen, you’ll know it. And I WAS LITERALLY THINKING EVERY SINGLE BULLET POINT ...

That's the hand we were dealt. My stuttering doesn't get worse with anxiety, but it does for a lot of people. Mine just naturally fluctuates in a seemingly random way. For me, what changed my life wa...

Tattoos Does anyone here have tattoos that represent their stutter? Or associate it with their experience? Tattoos are a great way to express ourselves as stutterers. I want to hear what you guys thi...

So does the man in the video have a stutter? It sounds like he's using a speech jammer and then getting temporary relief with out. The best programs in America don't see stuttering as a problem to be ...

I think some people can just own their stuttering in such a positive or neutral way that they come off as articulate. I think there's so much more to being an effective communicator than being fluent....

It's not unheard of. I've met a few people who even started stuttering after 18. If you live in the US, go to an NSA group and definitely go to the conference next year. The biggest thing you can do i...

Throw in some voluntary stuttering and let them know you stutter. It’s OK to stutter. Be skilled, be strong, be confident. You got this....

Congrats! So happy you've excelled, it's tough as it is. What specialties are you looking at? Radiology for example has less patient interaction while oncology you often deal with family members just ...

Are you still seeing this therapist? The only good news I can say is you have actual proof whether or not people give a shit that you stutter? My guess is no, not really. The fact that you are more aw...

Thank you for the awesome reply man. I will keep this stuff in mind going forward. I'm still in the weird phase where i'm not totally accepting of my stutter. I think that may be part of the problem. ...

I wouldn't worry about it. You're probably reading into it more than you need to. Just do your job and do it well, don't worry about anything else. They will see your work ethic and it will pay off in...

Hey there! Hang in there -- that's a tough age, I remember stuttering a lot when I was in junior high and feeling really insecure about it. It takes time, it's a slow course, but stuttering can, in a ...

I feel the exact same way as the other guy who commented. Keep in mind that nothing is scientifically proven to be the "cause" or "cure" to stuttering. If it were, we would all be doing it :) In all...
