That's how "techniques" usually work. They're not magic. They work in therapy, they work in controlled situations. Thru may transfer to the real world for a period of time but most of the time they fa...

The reason I find it hard accepting my stutter, and stuttering around people, is because I feel like it’s not my true authentic self. My severe social anxiety, damaged nervous system is stopping me fr...

Good recommendation i will think about it! But my dad has raised me very well, he is very loving and caring and that's the part that makes it hurt so bad. He always says i can tell him anything whatev...

Nothing different. Losing my stutter wouldn’t immediately lose a life’s worth of avoidant behavior and self-doubt. The iceberg is real. Over time, however, I could probably learn to adapt to a more f...

It's a whole story behind it actually. My dad is in general someone with a very long attention span he always likes to lead the conversation so he's not really a good listener because if it doesn't in...

This is it. I’d be the same person. But I would (internally) savor every second of it. The only thing that may change is I’d probably handle some things that my wife handles now. She takes care of a...

I met my girlfriend online.  It took 4 years of on-and-off swiping, remaking my profile, etc. So you gotta put in the work.  But we've been together over a year now and very happy.  I think onli...

It boils down to the question: to reveal that you are different than others and deal with their reactions or try to covert it. I know some stutterers who seemingly don’t care and some with little prob...
