You just get over it, like all of us did. It's not like we can do much about it anyway, so there is no point in worrying about it....

I know it is painful, but you will grow strength against it over time. I spent most of college too scared to even start a conversation with my professors. Eventually you realize that man is the sum of...

I work at a school and I do enjoy being able to tell the kids I work with that I was in speech at one time too! One of the best parts of Camp More is that 3/5 of the staff are people who stutter....

Genetics isn't necessarily the reason people outgrow their stutter. You seem to be thinking of stuttering as this fixed thing and if the cause is genetic, then you cant do anything. That's oversimplif...

I agree with the two others, it's genetics interacting with environmental factors. I've still had some people say to me "oh, you can get it fixed" and I just look at them. I get that yes in some aspec...

Camp More - for teens who stutter

Camp More - for teens who stutter Hi people of /r/stutter! I am an SLP and a person who stutters, and I wanted to get the word out about Camp More. Camp More is an overnight summer camp specifically ...

SLP who stutters here! There are a lot of us!! Do it! Do it!...

I've always wanted to do this - announce my stutter in front of a crowd. I've never had the balls yet, though, but I think it's really only a suuuper good thing to do for yourself! The crowd won't thi...

I always get it out of the way to let people know that I stutter. Instead of people having thoughts of me being weird when I get stuck....

This has happened to me many times before, I just smile and let them know that I stutter. They're usually ok with it and I feel a lot more relaxed....

I feel your pain, and I think just about every stutterer does about the name thing. But about changing it... Honestly I wouldn't because it's a nice name and you'll likely have the same trouble with t...

Anyone else read Out With It by Katherine Preston?

Anyone else read Out With It by Katherine Preston? It's an excellent memoir about Preston growing up in England as a stutterer, traveling across the US to interview others like her, and coming to term...

Thank you for the comment, sounds like quite a way to meet someone! I am really glad it turned out well for you! Positivity is always appreciated :-D...

Its awwsoem to know that u improved as well, goes to show that it can definitley be improved for the most part for some people. I will try to implement advice in my daily interactions and see how it g...

I'm really happy that you were able to improve your speech so much is such a small amount of time. Regarding the anxiety, I see myself in the same boat for the most part. My speech is pretty good th...

Thank you, very much! I'm trying to get my confidence back up and it's a work in progress. Talking about it on Reddit is a lot of help. Thanks, again. ...

Accepting it helped me the most. You're going to stutter, accepting that eventually is reassuring to me. ...

That's something that I've struggled with.. I just wanted to be fluent for the longest time and I'm start starting to accept that isn't a realistic measure of success for myself....

Yeah I'm pretty full of my self haha, that's because I do the right things ie. I meditate, excercise, read out loud everyday all to reduce my stutter, so when I've done these things I feel I have a ri...

Maybe you have a god-tier self-esteem compared to mine. Maybe you stutter a lot less than me. Who knows. Eh, I accept it more and more as time goes by I guess....
