Other than starting at 7th grade your experiences are similar to my own. I went to college, worked, and now I've been working from home for 3 years. The problem is that I've always been bad at social...
Wow, that's tough. Is your stutter tied to anxiety? I know mine is. Supposedly the best way to counter anxiety is by gradual and consistent exposure to anxiety inducing situations, but you probably kn...
Stuttering on purpose to counteract holding back and fear. Costal breathing to give power to the voice, we often are very quite and mumble when we stutter. Our breathing also tends to get very shallo...

It is scary & it sucks, but you can do it & you'll be better off afterwards. What did you have in mind as a first step?...
>I know what helped me is to put myself outside of my comfort zone consistently. I am at the point where this is all I have left to try. I'm scared to death but I need to do it. ...
At least you can say you had the courage to talk when you didn't have to. I only talk when I absolutely have to....
You overcome fear by doing exactly that activity you fear. I overcame my fear of talking on the phone by talking on the phone regularly. Need to call the doctor? Don't let your parents do it, do it yo...
Hey get on discord, download it if you don't have it. There's a stutter server. People practice using voice chat. This could help you get out of your comfort zone even just a little. Message me for t...

I've been there. I know you can't will yourself to not care. But you can will yourself to throw yourself into those hard situations. It's not easy but you need to build up that scar tissue. Stuttering...
I was right there with you at 16. Luckily, my first "job" was working at an auto shop for a relative, just doing grunt/gopher/fetch the morning coffee work. I'd get nervous all morning just about havi...
Something That Might Help Your Stutter
Something That Might Help Your Stutter I was talking to some of my friends in a group chat because I was worried about an upcoming event where I would have to talk in front of lots of people. We start...
Very common. There are even names for the things you mention: world substitution and time pressure. Most stutterers can speak completely fluent when alone or to animals. For this reason I see stutteri...
Have you even gone to a speech group? Like a therapy thing? There are always people worse than you. It's all about not caring. Sounds stupid. Sometimes I catch myself trying to hide the stutter. This ...
If you're practicing trying to be fluent, i'm not sure that's only to be helpful in the moment. I instead practice reducing tricks, avoidances, and trying to let myself show stuttering instead of tryi...
Tanks on your answer, I think that these will be helpful in my work. So the best thing is combination of methods. And I really like the mirror thing, because my first contact out of clinic was buying ...
it's okay, this is one of the few places you'll be able to talk to rant abut stammering so me sure to take advantage of this. The tl;dr of every post here is stammering sucks, even if it is implicit. ...
