Weird 'altruism' thought+advice from a man who has nearly overcome stuttering! I am holding a weird altruism(or else) thought recently that it would be the best that there was only me stuttering and t...

I found out when I didn't care about my stuttering(if to put it with professional termology, I think it should be 'desensitzation'), my stuttering was nearly gone and I could talk nearly as a normal s...

yeah cause we do it to hide we are stutterers. It’s a way of escaping facing the reality. So I’d say: Stutter to death but never escape from it through any tricks. Escaping the problem will negativel...

Your approach is wrong. You need to get comfortable getting out of your comfort zone, even if it makes you look like an idiot in front of people. This will eventually cure your problem. But there's ...

I rarely worry about it anymore. My new job made me give a surprise public speech to introduce myself and people laughed for the “right” reasons. It feels very empowering. Look at my previous comme...

I feel like this too. It’s hard to feel confident in social situations when you have impending stuttering weighing on you. Life has thrown me situations recently that have forced me to confront stutte...

The “treatment” is to regularly start interactions by *telling people you have difficulty getting words out* Make regular eye contact. Start. Talking. Slowly. And. Enunciate. Every. Syllable. If ...

I quit my job and was practically mute for 2 years. During that time, my heat/hot water broke in winter in New England, and I refused to call to address it for 3 days. I got a new job last week and...

not really, sometimes "teaching me" how to sleep and not staying up all night can take weeks. But when that happens I can definitely see a difference. not only in the stutter but in the way I face i...

at this point I just deliberately stutter to see if the person is worthy of my time....

Worst you can do is avoid situations and start doing avoidance behaviors. Will just make the anxiety worse when you have to speak. Go on the offensive and start challenging yourself and pushing your c...

I've been in a similar situation for years now, but about two months ago I started some pretty intensive (four 45-minutes sessions a week) speech therapy and its actually been helping. For me, if I'm ...
