Yes it us a disability. Pretty much all careers require being able to communicate effectively. I am stuck being a cleaner because it's the only job I can find where I don't have to talk. I wish that...

Yes. I guess the answer depends on the severity and how much it affects your day to day things. For me it's a lot and it limits me from a lot of things so it def is....

Bixby is the best one so far for me, still some errors, but Google Assistent and Siri struggle more. I gave up and type everything out on those apps...

I can tell you who ever invited Siri/voice recognition did not have a stutter...

I don't know who invented it, but I'm glad they did. I'm barely old enough to remember the world before texting , but that must've been a nightmare for someone who stutters. I can't imagine having to ...

I'm here for you as well. This frustration is the exact reason why I launched the first stuttering community on Slack 2 months ago. Feel free to join for free here - [www.stutterfreely.com](https://ww...

Sure, breathe has so much to do with us being fluent. Besides box breathing and other breath techniques for anxiety, programs (like Hollins Institute in Roanoke, VA) focus on breathing as it impacts s...

Voluntarily stuttering is a dated technique IMO. Address the anxiety in combination with breath training (like the program in VA) and you'll be fluent. It took a lot of work but I'm fluent as hell now...

Feeling like an asshole because of not talking simple due to the shear amount of effort it takes is one of the worst parts of having a stutter in my opinion. The act of not talking in itself I've some...

I feel that I sometimes come off as rude because of my stutter

I feel that I sometimes come off as rude because of my stutter Last night I was at some friends house and made dinner. My stutter has gotten worse now (it varies alot), but speaking to them was fine. ...

Try some low-dose anti-anxiety medications like Clonipin, Ativan. It may not work for everyone but I started those meds 20 years ago and it definitely made a difference in my fluency. I'd say 50% inc...

Look, Idk if you are a stutterer or not but let me explain something to you. Yes, you could maybe live a "good" life with a disability, however you will never be able to live a "normal" life, or a nor...

I completely disagree. Im grateful to be surrounded by people who love and respect me, I have never been made fun of my stutter, but I still cannot lead a normal life. I cannot order food, or book app...

I’ve just joined this group or whatever they call it on reddit i am new to reddit as well. And I relate to everything you said, everything is achievable when you have a stutter but at 10 times higher...

It feels like nobody actually knows me

It feels like nobody actually knows me I have stuttered since i remember and i have most of my life adapted my life to my stuttering. To as simply as going to the store and buying something to skippin...

Yeah… that happens 😂 I’ve also been guilty of ordering and eating food I didn’t want because what I DID want was too hard to say....

Speaking more slowly has been a gamechanger for me

Speaking more slowly has been a gamechanger for me My stuttering has had a pretty detrimental effect on my social life, as I"m sure many of you can relate to. Recently I listened to myself on my phon...

I am glad that I at least have the ability to speak and I don't let it control my life. I only got some accommodation st school that were time related (eg getting extra time or no time limit), but bes...

I don’t use caffeine now and have never gotten anything from melatonin. It also has some weird hormone effects so I like to stay away from it. I know that I can probably get back to normal eventuall...

Thanks for the reply, that’s all helpful info. That’s pretty much what I think is happening with me. The introspection especially doesnt make me feel good. Sitting at home thinking about how much my s...
