Sure, it might. But I think the real trick would be to get rid of that fear component you mention altogether....

The eye contact thing helps. It's also a good way to get rid of social anxiety. When you make eye contact with another person, you are focusing less on yourself and more on the other person. And you'r...

Presentations..

Presentations.. So apparently I’m going to have 3 (Required) presentations this semester. I’ve always avoided presentations or any kind of public speaking. So I’m really nervous and I don’t know how ...

I started college 2 weeks ago. Community college to be specific and I haven’t talked to anyone at all. Expect telling them what we’ll on when they ask. But that’s it. I too shy to ask them for their n...

Of course, but if you deal with these anxieties, accepting that you're capable of being a responsible grown-up, might your stutter will ease also....

Yeah but 17 is around the age when people turn into grown ups and accept responsibilities, change their views, etc. One counselor told me that this expectation and pressure of turning into a grown u...

Your friend is conveying something that can be difficult but is important to remember: other people don't see stuttering as a big deal. It's not an impediment to friendships, relationships or any soci...

That's good! :) For some reason I become more self conscious with age Lol. When it comes to socializing, I think there's more pressure when you're an adult than when you're a kid. Adults are expecte...

>For example, I often feel that the people I'm hanging out with don't actually like me, or if I'm with a girl, that she doesn't actually like me, or if she doesn't respond to my message she doesn't...

I think you've answered the question: it was possible to live a normal life until you've turned 17. It wasn't a different world with different people and you're also not a different person with other ...

Sorry for getting back to you so late! No offense but it sounds like you have not admitted to yourself that your stutter is mainly a mental (not physical) aliment! You say you feel like a freak, your ...

Im sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m pretty much in this exact situation. I have social anxiety too, work on getting that treated first. ...

Is it possible for a stutterer to live a normal life? I am so frustrated and depressed.

Is it possible for a stutterer to live a normal life? I am so frustrated and depressed. Is it possible for a person with a severe stutter to live a normal, wholesome life, just like everyone else? By ...

I've got an option to stop doing presentations in front of my class. But I don't know if it's really good for me.

I've got an option to stop doing presentations in front of my class. But I don't know if it's really good for me. Hi! So firstly, I wanna apologize for my english. It's not my native language. I'm 18...

Absolutely no comparison. Men always have it far harder when it comes to dating. Men are expected to initiate which is very difficult to do so with a stutter....

Yes. The anticipation when she sees a guy walking toward her....hoping he is not so she won’t have to talk. Both sides are nerve wracking as hell. ...
