Thank you for your advice. It is really helpful. It looks like that this is the only place where I can share my afflictions. Discussing with same people like me, is what keeps me up. No one except a s...

It's a process. You have to go out there and live your life without letting the stutter impact that. Don't let it dictate what you do, your career path, etc. It's very hard at first but eventually you...

Owning it is the best "therapy" for a stutter! You might not become more fluent, but you will stop worrying. The worry is what makes it unbearable....

I've tended to notice that people respect you when you don't seem bothered by your own stutter. Just say what you want to say. Unfortunately that's a big step to take from a mental perspective....

Being honest about it helps (with yourself and with others). It really reduces the pressure to be fluent. I stutter and I'm a writer and a manager. I'm doing pretty well for myself. I think being unab...

TLDR: Learn to accept and embrace your stutter and people won't care about your speech, period. I consider my stutter to be severe (frequent blocks with facial secondary characteristiics, etc). I am...

It's part of who I am. And the difficulties I faced growing up with it chiseled out so many parts of my personality. So no I wouldn't ever. And if I had to choice to get rid of it completely without c...

Acceptance is key to finding peace and comfort. Otherwise you will stress about it which brings on anxiety and thus, more stuttering. The degree of "acceptance" varies to person to person. I know I ...

For me, what started the process was realizing my stutter didn't actually, physically, hurt me. It was intensely embarrassing, but it wasn't killing me. So I figured I could deal with the embarrassmen...
