My presentation went horribly, but... I just had a presentation and it went horribly. I stuttered on EVERY word and looked like a retard when my head had spasms. But you know what? I took the first st...

This feeling, the point of your title, comes in waves it would seem for me. Not all the time but I feel it. Sometimes it lasts for a short while, minutes if you will and those times are a great time t...

You don't have a choice about whether or not you stutter. You do have a choice about how you deal with it. Instead try to focus on what you can do. Order the food you want, not what you can say. Go ah...

I'm not sure what steps I took really. I personally don't care if I hear someone else with a speech impediment/disability, so I think that others wouldn't care either....

I feel yea. For most of my life I was not OK with my stuttering. Now I accept it more and life is my better, and I say what I want and what I mean. Just going into a situation with the attitude "I wil...

I try my hardest not to think of what my life would be like if I didn't stutter, since I don't want to feel sorry for myself. How did you stop caring? I just can't wrap my head around not caring. ...

Yes, I think all stutterers go through phases like this. There are just times when you feel helpless to the stutter and you can't help yourself from feeling down. But, as time goes on you have to put ...

Yes. I've been in that precise situation recently with a covert stutterer who couldn't hide it successfully. There was a wonderful "one of us" moment and that was about it. He seemed relieved. How...

Overwhelmingly so! I don't feel so constrained anymore and I have all of these "new" and confusing emotions that I'm pretty happy to get to experience. Sometimes my stutter makes me frustrated as wel...

For me its gotten better but only because I stopped giving a fuck so much about my stutter. Sure I try to be fluent when I can but If i stutter its not a massive deal. Overall I think I lead a pretty ...

I know! It feels so much better to be yourself. Okay, sometimes it frustrates me thát I stutter. But always trying to hide it gave me more stress, absolutly! ...

Hello!

Hello! Hi there, I just subscribed, but I wanted to say hello and explain why I'm here. I have stuttered for as long as I can remember, since I could speak I guess. My parents subscribed to the "just ...

I'd say that's a great way to sum it up. In social situations people feed off your own attitude, so if you treat it like yeah I stutter its whatever, they'll likely feel the same way....

I think it got much easier but it's partially because I also opened up a lot and just started talking openly about it. If you show people that you're comfortable with your speech, they'll be comfortab...

It just became a part of who I am. There are things I avoid, like speaking in front of groups, but for the most part my life is no different than anyone else. I always do the ordering for my family ...

Had a waiter with a stutter at dinner. It wasn't very noticeable but I could tell he was stressing the beginning of his words trying to get them out and he was using a lot of filler words. I am very p...

I had a very similar experience. I took on a job as a cocktail girl during my "good speech period", which was a HUGE leap of faith for me. As soon as my stutter began to show its annoying face a few w...
