Different people obviously have different things that work for them. Some people prefer techniques, and others prefer to let go of the physical and mental struggle and accept it in order to stammer wi...

I feel the same way. In my profession, I constantly need to present in front of people. I’ve learned to accept who I am—though that’s easier said than done. But at the end of the day, it’s who we are....

I feel that too. I am currently 53 and I passed the point where I have any hope it is going to get any better. In my time, jobs were next to impossible, and I realized the harder I tried to be fluen...

I'm an EE with a mild-severe stutter. I've had jobs since high school. I've had loads of interviews, some with good speed and some with poor. I'm confident and open about it, and I found I got just as...

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. Stutterers were never enslaved and systematically oppressed and purposely pushed down in society even after slavery. I know this shit can be hard and you will...

WE STAMMER Every hour of every day, We fight a silent war —WE battle to communicate with the world. I know we don’t always win. Were constantly asking the universe: Why me?! We understand each ot...

Hey, I really felt your words. I’ve been through something very similar with my severe stutter too. You’re right — it’s not just about mindset. I don’t want to offer false hope, but something that he...

Thank you for your service and for being so open about your stutter. What an inspiration you must be to everyone!...

I highly recommend the book Life on Delay by John Hendrickson [https://www.amazon.com/Life-Delay-Making-Peace-Stutter/dp/0593319133](https://www.amazon.com/Life-Delay-Making-Peace-Stutter/dp/05933191...

I understand completely what you’re saying. If you didn’t have a stutter, would you want to go to college this year? If yes, then go. Building up this fear will just make your speech 10x worse. Teac...

Absolutely. But that was 15 years ago. Eventually I started realizing I deserved a seat at the table as much as anyone else, maybe even more so. Once I noticed other ‘highly-esteemed’ superiors who wo...

Idk. Fliency as a goal never worked for me. Not giving a shit about my stutter is the only thing removed the fear. I can now give speech in front of 100 people, stuttering confidently, and get my poi...

I'm a 26 year old woman and have stuttered for my whole life so far. It ranges from mild to severe, but is mostly moderate in my daily interactions. I don't know what causes it to be worse than usual,...

I’m almost 21 and have had 4 jobs. 2 with little to no talking (dishwasher and currently Amazon) and 2 where talking is absolutely required (Student worker in my schools dining hall and hosting at a r...

A stutter shouldn’t stop you from doing that. Don’t let it control you...

Be open about it up front in interviews. I’m 25 as well and My current job as soon as the interview started I said “I just want to let you guys know I do have a stutter so if I pause or get stuck at a...

I went on the McGuire Program a few years ago and to be honest I thought it was a cult. It reminds me very much of a pyramid scheme, as all of the coaches are former students of the program and aren...

I know his hearts in the right place but another thing with growing with your stutter is not caring what people think. The hardest part is your father. Mine I know he loves me but for 33 years if I st...

My dad is more bothered than my stutter than I am

My dad is more bothered than my stutter than I am I'm trying to become a flight attendant at a major airline. I've been doing a lot of research into the interview process, and I'm pretty confident tha...

Do you have any access to therapy services? Either speech or counseling? Part of speech therapy usually includes learning to be ok with how you sound, even if you still stutter sometimes. This may sou...
