As an slp-in-in training, I really appreciate this. I much prefer working to reduce the struggle than fluency shaping techniques. I'm not sure about all stuttering specialists, but my professor taught...

I've attended 3 of the last 4 and will continue to go every year, regardless of how I am doing with my speech. The conference bounces around all the US, hard to predict where it will be next. I consid...

Thanks I appreciate that. I'm proud of who I am, stutter and all, even if it feels that it impacts how other people interact with me at times. As I said in my above reply, I do need to work on being c...

SLP graduate student chiming in here. First things first, please listen to the other replies and stop jerking your head. It is a secondary behavior and it will only make it WORSE. How do you stop the ...

The slps who focus on fluency are almost setting you up for failure. They usually teach fluency shaping techniques or some similar techniques for "controlling" how you speak so it's never natural or s...

This is my opinion also .The solution for op is to stutter with confidence ....

Oh god,If I wanted do write something like this,this is exactly how I would express it.You were spot on for everything. Sometimes I do wonder would people talk to me more (even though I'm fine with h...

I'm also 31 and have had a similar experience. I'm a Christian and the way I interpret finding a significant other, like the RIGHT woman I mean, is its something that is in many ways beyond our contro...

Oh no, definitely agree. I guess to clarify... I've sometimes heard the statement that "other people won't accept my stutter," but yet the person saying that has a problem with stuttering themselves. ...

Hm, well, even if we were at all times perfectly fine with stuttering, that doesn't mean the other person necessarily will be too. I'm not seeing the connection there, really. Unless you mean we shoul...

I think another angle to this is that YOU need to like/accept yourself even with a stutter. If you hate or are ashamed of your speech, and have trouble accepting that, it is difficult to ask others ...

I'm 21 and I dated a girl for a month who thought my [stutter was cute](http://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/2qciua/would_if_offend_you_if_i_told_you_i_like_your/). Broke up on good terms for pers...

I'm a 24 year old woman who stutters (severe-moderate) and I'm going to have to agree with what another poster stated -- I don't think stuttering is the (major) problem here. While I do think speec...

I'm 26 and luckily I found a woman who doesn't mind me stuttering. I've had girlfriends in the past but this is the longest relationship I've had thus far, at a lil more than a year. I guess u can cal...

Motivation: Teaching English in Japan Hello fellow stutters/stammers/speech impedimenters, So this is a post where I talk about myself but it's not to brag. It's to provide some sort of proof that h...

That sounds a lot like how my impediment functions. My finely tuned strategies for speaking smoothly will purr along nicely, sometimes for weeks or months without me having to consciously think about ...

to OP: not being happy is not because of your stutter, its because you are 17. if you didnt stutter you would think you were too tall, too short, too smart, too dumb, or anything else. we are socia...

personally, i have my down moments about it (just look at my post history in this sub) but nine days out of ten it simply doesnt bother me. dont get me wrong, it sucks when you order the burger when ...

I hear you. When I was a lot less confident, like back in high school, I'd speak a lot more quietly. I've gotten to the point now where I know I'm a loud talker and I'm okay with it. It's not to th...

I either just continue saying my name or i'll give a small head shake and then go back to finishing my name. Sometimes i'll say no and go back to finishing my name. There's no anger in it and they usu...
