I don't have any BS experiences really, but leaving an answerphone message is BS in it's own way. When my stutter was a lot worse I would have to record the message over and over until I got it within...

I definitely hear ya. It took me years to make peace with my stutter. And everyday is a daily fight to maintain that peace whether through meditation, yoga, weight-lifting, taking my vitamins, CBD, ta...

This is a good way to look at it, to use it as an opportunity to practice. I’m making a concerted effort these days to not do something just because I’m afraid I’ll stutter. It’s hard but worth it ☺️...

Not a fan of small talk or chit chat. I am 48 so kind of “meh” about my stutter these days but my avoidance of small talk is probably related to a lifetime of stuttering....

Stutter caused by tight muscles

Stutter caused by tight muscles I've found that whenever Im stuttering or feel like i'm about tto stutter, I'm most likely tight in any or all of these places: Jaw Neck Traps Chest Lower stomach (kind...

Yeah actually, now that you mention it I do hate getting a haircut, mostly because I have to talk to a stranger with some degree of control over my life for the next few weeks. Explaining my perfect h...

Yes, when I was in highschool I never got my hair cut. I had a massive 'jewfro', girls actually kinda liked it. Now I am fine with barbers, I have 1 guy I have gone to for years and he knows... to jus...

So what is it you hate, exactly? Are you saying it's your own fault for forgetting? Might it instead be that the tactic you're using isn't optimal? Please consider these things instead of relying o...

I have only the hard truth. It probably never will go away. However, just remember to think about what you are going to say, speak slowly, take short breaks if you need to, and don't think about it t...

Someone asks you what you’re doing cos you’re just mouthing the joke and laughing to yourself and you jut smile and nod...

Tomorrow is my first day on a new job Hello fellow stutterers I'm 19 years old, I'm a mild stutterer but with strangers it becoms quite severe..Recently I threw myself out of a comfort zone and accep...

I just remembered i used to ask for fireball instead to avoid blocking, still stuttered anyway. So cringy....

This goes different for everyone,and I don't want to try to trump your experience with my own. For me, I got to a point in my life where the negativity about my stutter outshone all of the positive ...

Thanks man! I needed that encouragement today. I didn't really know what to do with my hands though. Usually in school if I need to go get something I point towards the door and start a sentence, and...

Bummer! Did you use your hands/fingers to indicate that you were working on getting something across? I think it might be a good habit to get into. - Also, next time (if there'll ever be one), what...

We had to do something like that when I was young and I had started in the cadets. I pretended I was feeling sick and spent the whole excersise sitting outside. It was a real fight or flight moment an...

When I noticed that I stutter

When I noticed that I stutter Sorry if my English is bad, I will try my best As far as I can remember I had a stutter for 8 years and I am 17 currently. My mom told me that I started stuttering after...

That's a really great point, I didn't even think of that despite having selective mutism myself when I was younger. If he does have it he seems to show it differently than I did, so I guess I'll do so...

Yes, you will be. At least I have. However, things will improve not because you will get better, but because you will have to get better. For me, when I was young, speaking in a social situation wit...

Actually I'm not. I'm interested in knowing about what happens after you complete these programs. I have been to one recently and have a hard time keeping up with the practice now that it's over. I gu...
