Am I the only one who likes when people laugh or tease me?

Am I the only one who likes when people laugh or tease me? I don't know, I'm not like a self destructive person or anything, there's just something nice about people not giving a fuck and being able t...

I'm a life long stutterer in my 40s. It took me far too long to realize that trying to hide it is more than useless, it's counterproductive. She'll find out eventually and be stunned, confused and get...

I had the same problem, I'm not exactly the greatest looking either im 16 and I've been dating a beautiful girl for a few months now. But I told her that I stutter before we really got the chance to t...

theonly way I know to conquer stuttering is to accept it. and that usually includes not seeing it as something to be conquered. But when you truly accept it as part of yourself, since it is a part of ...

I just do it alone. It would be too annoying for others. For the most part, reading aloud helps with my confidence. If I experience good, steady, repeatable success with reading, then, that helps t...

I know this is an old thread (well, old by reddit terms but this is not exactly a super-active sub) but am I the only one who doesnt care about the term "stutterer"? because i own a car i am a 'drive...

I have a similar enough story from when I was about 14. Back then it ruined my whole day but now I look back and laugh about it. Whenever my stammer comes up in conversation I tell people about it. Ma...

This doesn't seem like a negative experience to me. IMO, you handled that situation perfectly, with a joke. And she then proceeded in the same manner. Doesn't seem to me like she tried to mock you, i...

Well written. Really enjoyed it. Congratulations on overcoming your stutter....

Sometimes that has to be done. Good on you for fighting through it and getting everything you needed to say out....

Great to hear! I think the positive thinking works. We dwell on the bumps and hiccups in our speech but never the successes....

Good job on quitting pot at a young age. I'm 32 and just quit last year because it was really holding me back mentally, emotionally, and financially. I quit drinking too. I'm pretty much a teetotaller...

I'm like you in this regard, ShutupPussy. When Im just waking up or caught off guard and I speak right as my mind pieces together the words, I'm at my most fluent. When Im focused and conscious of my ...

Thanks. I look at it as positive experience. It will definitely boost my self confidence once I am more comfortable being myself....

Great book. Recommend it to everyone. I dont know how much logotherapy is used today but the example you gave I think is mostly on point. I havent heard of paradoxical intent, but Joe Sheehan spoke ab...

Are we doing 'stutter Saturday'? I don't see a thread so......how was you week?

Are we doing 'stutter Saturday'? I don't see a thread so......how was you week? Also could we choose a different name? I hate the word stutter. I'd like something more positive!...

That's tough, I've had a good view experiences like that and time just seems to stand still while you release bits of words and noises. I think the important thing to remember is that worst case scen...

Two remarks here (which boil down to the same, actually). The first, is that you actually performed the first instance of the sentence perfectly. That's a win. But we usually don't see it that way, I...

Exactly! Just like having a stammer doesn't make you a bad communicator. It's only one tiny part of communication. Some people stammer. Some people have a lisp. Some people mumble. Some people speak ...

Hah seriously that is strange. It's great to see someone so similar to me have this problem resolved, it's going to really motivate me to do the same. As for holding it in, I definitely used and it re...
