Dating Advice from an old stutterer

Dating Advice from an old stutterer I see a lot of questions about dating and how to approach it when you have a stutter so I decided to post about it. I am lucky enough to have gone on lots of date...

Reading out loud is a great way to warm up, definitely keep doing it. You might even want to start reading out loud every morning for example, if it works for you then build on it. It doesn't have any...

I was going to type up a big reply to this but I'm going to put it pretty simple. I disagree to a certain extent with what you're saying, and here's why. I, and many other people who stutter, have ov...

Btw, I'm really tired so apologies if this comes off more harshly than intended. I know where you're getting at with this. Truth is I've had a severe stutter as a child and teenager. You do not want...

But what if the effort isn't worth the result? For a severe stutterer a gigantic work ethic and effort might only lead to a small improvement in fluency/control. He's better off accepting his situatio...

I wasn't trying to say you caused anyone shame or guilt. I just got the sense that there was a, "if you're still stuttering you're not trying hard enough" vibe...

Valid points you make. Good to hear your perspective on this. Honestly speaking, if anybody feels shame/guilt then that's their own issue to deal with. We're responsible for our own actions only. Wh...

I feel so happy for you. Happy that you had this revelation that we all so much crave for, to feel okay in your skin. The big deal we make about stuttering is in our heads. Stuttering matters because ...

I think fluency is a perfectly acceptable goal. I don't think it's the only acceptable goal to have. For many people who stutter the severity of stuttering is so great that while achieving stutter-fre...

Is fluency the goal??

Is fluency the goal?? Ever since I can remember I've always had the goal to be a fluent speaker. Yet, I've heard for many years that it's an unrealistic goal. This made me think because I thought we...

A really good day? YES!

A really good day? YES! So last night I went out to Temple for Rosh Hashanah. I was very nervous as I hadn't been to this temple in a year or so. Last night I was able to just stutter and feel comfor...

Happens to all stutterers i believe, makes it very hard to accept....

Why is it that sometimes I have a completely good day, but on others day it feels like all hell broke loose?

Why is it that sometimes I have a completely good day, but on others day it feels like all hell broke loose? On some days, I notice that my stutter isn't as severe, and it makes me feel really good. H...

Good on you! I did MDMA as well, and the same effect happened to me. It left a wicked afterglow as well, to the point where the next few days I was rather fluent. Then I forgot the main message, and...

I understand why this may be true, but not talking about it, at least from my experience, only makes it worse....

My mind is now thinking that I'm offended by you saying this. I, and many others live perfectly NORMAL lifestyles with our stutter. I'll go into some more detail. This also occured with me when I was...

Thanks for this post. Although there are some parts id have to disagree with you on. Firstly, I was mercilessly bullied as a child for my stuttering so to say that people did not have as bad of a n...

Hey man, it's a tough situation to be in. I'd never deny that. We've all gone through spans like this in our lives, and the major reason we do this is because we believe we can somehow cure our stutt...

Hey it's okay to be angry and pissed at yourself. It's an honest reaction to an honest problem. All of us want to be normal people but the truth is we're not, and i'm not even talking about our stutte...
