My stutter becomes almsot entirely irrelevant when I'm around old friends and genuinely happy. I forget about it and communicate as well as a fluent person despite a few hiccups here and there. But it...

Yeah, "accept it" is easier said than done. I'm just slightly younger than you and hold a highly technical leadership position as a contractor. It's a requirement that people have confidence in what I...

For some reason I can never just accept it, I'm very self conscious of it and I'm 36. I have noticed it's much better than when I was a child but I just have to go with the ebbs and flows of my fluenc...

Not cured. Not as bad as it once was. I've learned to accept that I'm a stutterer. It's made my life a lot more comfortable to just accept that I will not be fluent sometimes. Oddly enough that's caus...

Health is good, of course. ;) I think you've sort of reversed the quality of life angle. When we get better at managing or dealing with our stutter, our QoL improves. Having a better mood in general...

Thanks for the comment! It's definitely not a worry, and I've accepted my stutter and am very happy with myself. I just find the science of it very curious....

As a stutter myself, I think it's good to make fun of the situation every now and then. Makes the problem seem less intimidating and thus easier to overcome. Just stumbled on this picture in a Game o...

I can relate to that. I'm 30 now & it definitely gets easier, but there have totally been times where I just wanted to say "fuck it" & quit. As far as "growing out of it", I'd recommend tryin...

100% agree with both your posts. Trying to "cure" or fix or hide the stutter - especially when you're young and still very mentally affected by it - can exacerbate your problem with it. It becomes...

I hope they understood the small nuances and difficulties that come along with stutterering. How anxiety plays a part and worsens. Or how for example tiny nuances like a small stutter while telling a ...

Can I ask you something off topic? Was there a way (method?) that you accepted your stutter? Or did it just sort of happen? ...

I agree with the message, but I would also point out that stuttering generally isn't something you can practice your way out of. Some people stutter less as they grow up or lose it altogether. My fath...

Not being able to say your name happens because air flow and you focus too much on your stutter or you try too hard to force the word out l, to lessen or resolve this problem I recommend practicing th...

I used to be in same position a few months ago, basically what works for me is I just let go of fear, I just stop caring about what other people think and I project a positive attitude and a steady st...

I've had a great deal of friends through out my entire school life. One of the things I found is dressing better and playing sports. When I play soccer I almost do no talking and I just play to a very...

You seem to have a really good head on your shoulders & I think you have the right outlook necessary to improve. As for any tips, the ONLY thing that I would recommend is to put yourself outside...

While it might help you, there might be more effective ways to deal with your stutter (voluntary stuttering, Van Riper's 'speech correction' methods etc). I say this only because we have limited time ...

It did help in so much that practicing reading out lout allowed me to explore my stutter: when it happens, where it happens and it took a lot of the fear out of speaking for me. The vowel elongation a...

Met the boyfriend when we were 17, I'm 21 and we're still going strong even after me spending a year on the other side of the world. He's very understanding, probably the most understanding person I'v...
