Yeah, it is a great advice unless I actually stutter more when I don't care about my stuttering and therefore don't try to control it. So thanks, but no, allow me to care about my stuttering....

It's already been said here, but you need to accept your stutter and just talk. The reason why a lot of people stutter is because every time they talk, they think "oh man, I might stutter," and sure a...

Perhaps two themes to ponder in the meantime: 1 - we do not wish to be _perfect_, because that's an impossible criteria. We merely wish to be _understood_ and to carry out the communication, whatever...

Nah dude, this ain't it. Times will come when you'll need to speak for real. Maybe you don't want to work a job where you're isolated and don't speak to nobody at all. Most careers require human inter...

I'm going to be blunt with you, because I feel like you need to hear it and understand it: **Don't avoid stuttering.** It's unhealthy for you to keep going on as you do, as is clear from the way you...

I think with stuttering, each individual had to find their own way to ease their stutter. Deep inhales for me cause more blocks and panic. I've kind of taught myself to get as far as I can in a senten...

I feel the same way too. I think it may be because writing is so intrinsic to your own thoughts, and over the years of managing your stutter those "problem" words or sounds don't get added to your reg...
