It totally makes sense. We are all at different stages with our stutters. I've had mine for 18+ years (started at 6, 24 now). It wasn't until a public speaking class in college that I began to fully...

>**The crap I dealt with** through middle school and into high school sucked, but looking back on who I am today **I would not have it any other way**. This is probably the bit I understand the le...

I won't try and speak on behalf of anyone, but as someone who also feels a similar sentiment about my stutter, I can give my perspective. For me, my stutter shaped my personality, drove my work ethic...

Thank you very much! Inspiring words sir! You mentioned you believe the stutter has helped you more than hurt you in life. How so? If you don't mind my asking? ...

>love my stutter, and I even think my stutter has helped me more than hurt me in life, in many ways. That's an interesting angle. Care to share? :)...

Good on you for not caring about it! I didn't care about it until Grade 8 - then all of a sudden was extremely self-conscious, and it ruined my life - then I dragged myself out of that hole when I was...

Not making people uncomfortable but I do revel in minor confrontation now. Once in a while people are somewhat rude to me because of my profession (journalism) and that always makes my eyes light up ...

Stutter confidently. Don't be embarrassed that you stutter. Own it, and focus on what you want to say and less on how you say it. ...

This is the main reason I don't suggest speech therapy for stuttering. Personally, I found that as long as I was fighting it (trying to speak better), it was a fight. Once I stopped fighting is when I...

I struggle with the exact same thing. I think it comes down to being comfortable with the fact that you stutter. If you stop hiding it, and pretending you DONT stutter, you will stop scanning ahead in...

It's technique, though not fluncy shaping (the technique is coastal breathing). I know friends who have done it and done really well, I know other people who have done it and while they like it, they ...

Agree completely, but it's certainly a big hurdle to get to acceptance. Pursuing your passions, doing what you love, making money, exploring the world, starting a business, working out -- these are ...

Very possible! Time to start working on accepting that you have a stutter and free yourself from all the self abuse it can cause. Sure, finding ways to speak fluently is great, but you will very likel...

The first step would be stop thinking of yourself as your worst enemy. It is quite natural that you think about stuttering. Pretty much everyone on this subreddit have had/is going through that. The ...

How I stopped Stuttering

How I stopped Stuttering It's quite simple, I always had a stutter. It was very embarrassing, as I'm sure you know. One day I was watching TV and the singer of a band had a stutter, but when he sang, ...

Keep putting yourself in situations in which you think you will stutter in and sooner or later you will find yourself becoming slightly fluent. This fluency will increase the more you believe in yours...

Yeah, but if you're going to feature someone who stutters, you probably want to understand what "overcoming" generally means to people who stutter. It's about having less anxiety about how you are pe...

well if you are close to Southern California, i can be your candidate. i just came back from an intensive therapy and ive already improved significantly. After finally making the move to get therapy, ...

Great topic, i just came back from the Mcguire Program and thats the first thing they immediately pointed out to me. They taught me how to stop hiding my stutter and just attack it. At first it felt l...

Hey there! I'm glad you went with it. It feels great coming off of your first course, but will only continue to feel great if you put in the effort. Keep doing the contacts and making the calls, eve...
