Maybe you stutter because you don't want to stutter. Lessening the anxiety around your speech would definitely help....

You are hella right, I remember when I was little and could speak as much as I wanted without worrying; might be my lack of confidence, but I have yet to accept stuttering as a part of me now. It took...

Thanks for the thoughts again. I pointed out the coddling in my reply here, but I will clarify I'm not under the impression that was what held me back. It was 100% me. I agree it's not as simple as ...

Remember, above all, that you're always going to be the one who cares the most about your stutter. I remember reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, and thinking much of it didn't apply to m...

I had to make an account for this. It's a normal response and the first step in overcome stuttering. A lot of the people posting videos and commenting on Reddit are young. Victim mentally is a bypr...

I guess we all feel like that from time to time. But we must return to reality and work with what we got, right?...

Seconded. Take ownership of your stuttering. You do not have to be a victim. The victim mentality is a defeatist mindset. I'm not saying you can flick a switch overnight...but you need to start traini...

>however much I read aloud, however much I practice or do light contact fucking prolongations, or coastal breathing, or WHATEVER, speech is never going to be a natural part of me. You don't have ...

Dude, hang in there. It gets easier with age, if you don't let it dictate your mental state. People like better those who listen to them anyway....

Sounds exactly like me at 20. Devices, therapy, hypnosis, meds. The answer is stop trying to cure it. That's the way to get it off your mind, and from there, you will find the freedom you once had....

When I was younger, I thought my stutter would keep me single too. But a lot of girls are actually attracted to it. My last girlfriend, whom I dated for three years, said it was the hottest thing abou...

I feel for you. Had the exact same thoughts as a teenager. But, poisonous thoughts like this will keep you far from getting better. What will help you to overcome your stutter will be under a differ...

I know what you mean about the shame afterwards, but it's an easy fix. Next time you're in a situation where you feel obligated to act (for whatever reason), just do it. Go in with the understanding...

When I drink I rarely stutter, and I don't smoke pot any more (for like 15 or so years), I don't even remember whether I stuttered when I was high. My worst is on the telephone. ...

Wouldn't work for me, I always just try to power through the stutter. It works sometimes but not all the time. I'm through trying to distract myself or act differently, it's who I am, I say syllables ...

Yeah, I just power through it. If I feel like what I said was garbled or didn't sound right, I'll repeat it and it's usually easier the 2nd or 3rd time out of my mouth haha. By nature I'm a conversati...

I don't downvote, but I don't care about their videos either. I guess I don't see them as an authority or having a truly deep understanding of stuttering. To me they are two guys who make nice videos ...

I really appreciate that! I used to pity myself too. It's amazing how life can change though. I've found it has made me stand out professionally, and I've even found members of the opposite sex are sp...

You sound exactly like I used to. I know how you feel. Stuttering has absolutely helped my life. It has made me stand out professionally and interpersonally. It has developed my worldview and maturit...

I feel your pain bro since I've been there as well. I however have changed my mindset on my stutter and THAT has changed my life for the better, i learned to understand accept and embrace my stutter. ...
