How many of those did you done? I had similar experiences, at fist. Bit like after the third one it was great. I got used to the situation and tried not to take it so seriously. It depends though on ...

I didn't mean that you would stop stuttering, but it would stop being a problem in your life. That, I believe, is the real "cure" for stuttering....

Life with a bad stutter is playing life on hard mode. You need to stop comparing yourself with fluent people, because having a bad stutter is quite a disability. First try to do everything you can to ...

Stuttering Makes You Unique

Stuttering Makes You Unique Hi all, I hope this doesn't classify as spam at this point, but let me know if it comes across that way. I believe very strongly that stuttering gives you a competitive ad...

If you're in college now, I would go to the speech and language department and see if they offer any sort of therapy or can point you in the direction of someone close who knows stuttering. Not all un...

Hey man, I've been there. Nineteen was the rock-bottom point in my life. Luckily I had something of a breakthrough moment (during a total breakdown) that changed my perspective. Essentially, it comes...

Well, look at it this way, that was probably the worst case scenario and it wasn't that bad at all, right? You stuttered and lived to tell the tale, got some experience from it and some confidence tha...

I agree with you. I am a heavier person 6'2 270 lbs and if I didn't have depression and a stutter I don't think I would get nearly as many girls as I do. A stutter makes you unique. You couldn't have ...

Later 50's here and I managed to block words over the years. Most people have no idea that I stutter because of my blocking. I can remember the school years dealing with therapists. They do care, but ...

It just got better with time. As I got older I cared less what others thought of me so the pressure to be fluent disappeared. I still stutter and do it every day but I don't care nearly as much and it...

My dad actually grew out of his stutter to a large degree. He used to not even be able to string two words together as a teenager. Now he just stutters on about one out of every 50 words. Most people ...

I'm not a fan of this idea to be honest. I dunno, it just feels exploitative to me. I'm not judging, it's more of a personal choice to not go this particular route....

Why do you guys have this mentality of "Ill never be able to talk normally" or "I have 70 years more of this". I really believe stuttering can be cured, its not some weird vodoo magic that some wiza...

It's nobody's fault, no one intently placed a stuttering spell on you. Women from my experience don't care as long as it's not a big deal to you. And the ones that do care, don't worry about them. You...

Same as my experience. To get stuttering off my mind, I had to stop fighting it. For me, the answer came in not trying to cure it. In retrospect it makes perfect sense. I'm very skeptical of the benef...

I was actually able to reduce my stutter a lot by not focusing in what I was saying. The main problem was that every single speech therapist who I talked to told me to focus on how I was saying words....
