By the way, how is your current situation now? Is it fully gone, or did it at least come to a level where you stop worrying about it? Even 10% improvement is good I guess....

For what it's worth, you did it, albeit it was rough, but I feel your pain and struggle. For my masters thesis, I was in an auditorium defending my thesis, I sputtered, stuttered, spit, facial ti...

My friend. Please allow me to be blunt and don’t be offended. You can’t reside within fear forever. This is exposure therapy. I forced myself into similar situations (working in the medical field,...

Ultimately it is up to you. The worst thing for me is letting my stutter win. I’ve always been anxious when speaking that I’ve notice that sure I feel it but it doesn’t consume me like it used to. B...

I sympathize with your predicament. Unfortunately, there will be people who discriminate against us because of our stutter. It sucks to accept, but it's life. But please take my advice from a 40 some...

I think at the heart of it is that you're a 19 year old woman, recently entered adulthood and in the midst of university. There are a lot of changes and unknowns in your life right now, so even if yo...

Never ever feel sorry for yourself because of others. If you are in a circle where they do not treat you normal or they treat you badly, change the circle. Stammering is not your fault buddy so don't ...

Hey man, I’ve been here. The advice I wish I got before is: go and try it. If you literally can’t do it because of your stutter, at least you tried. If you don’t try it because you’re afraid of the fa...

There's nothing to be healed. The idea that it's an illness is a faulty premise. The best analogy is that it's a software problem, not a hardware (medical) problem. This is supported by the fact tha...
