I know your struggle my friend, all too well. This is very hard advice, because it's very difficult, but you just have to stop caring so much. Trust me, it took me about a decade to stop giving a sh...

I've never tried light-contact before. Can you elaborate? Also, I keep telling myself that I'll tell people that I stutter (in cases of doing a presentation), but I can never actually get myself to d...

You shouldn't bring yourself down like that, you don't deserve it if someone says something about it just say yes i stutter and continue on. Most people don't care that you stutter. if they do then do...

Anticipatory struggle is a bitch. Worrying about stuttering will only make it worse. I've been teaching myself over time to, as soon as I reach a block or stutter, immediately stop thinking about that...

Don't panic. Don't lose hope. You are not alone. First, you should read two books, by two people who have recovered from stuttering following not very different paths. The first is [Redefining Stutt...

Addressing your last paragraph, especially when you say "I'm wasting their time." That's entirely not true. There are those VERY few people that don't understand what stuttering means and think it's s...

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do I've been stuttering since I was in first grade. Following an embarrassing and pathetic "Talent Show" We were forced to take part in, I had the joy of being pa...

The same thing happened to me. I did not like talking like a robot and of course my fluent speech relapsed. I went to the PFSP program in Virginia and I am finding more and more evidence to suggest ...

I too have tried this method and the truth is that you should not have to constantly be thinking about how to slur your words together when you talk. This speech sounds unnatural. I had to ween myse...

Being a stutterer myself, all I can tell you is that you need to learn to accept it as a thing that is a part of you, rather than a thing that defines you. Stuttering sucks, there's no other way to s...

some rants? Just found this subreddit seconds ago. Never thought it actually exist. I'm stuttering since child (now I'm 20). I never met any person who stutter in my country. The community around me ...

Reading out loud

Reading out loud For some reason, whenever I read directly from a piece of paper, book, PowerPoint, etc. I am able to speak clearly and fluently. Was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and...

The same thing happens to me with the things that I am really passionate about. It doesn't go away completely and I still stumble on certain words but it get much easier....

Everything feels perfectly spot on for me. Had especially never thought of the part about that people that stutter because we are trying to talk perfectly. But it really feels right. ...

Has anyone else here developed a stutter?

Has anyone else here developed a stutter? Hi, I'm new here and just testing the waters and thought I'd ask if anyone else has had a similar experience to me. My speech difficulties are a relatively ne...

Take a breath, try not to think about what exactly you want to say, but maybe the idea that you are trying to get across. Then, you can subconsciously put this idea into your own words as you spew it ...

Similarly, I agree with you 100%. Sometimes, there is only *one* word to actually convey what you are thinking. I'm getting better as time goes on. Hopefully, we will eventually outgrow this!...

Damn, that's the first time I hear something which I can relate 100% to. I use the same techniques you described. And some other, too. Like fillwords for example. That really is the best advice. Keep...
