Slow down — talk to non-native speakers (and fellow stutterers)

Slow down — talk to non-native speakers (and fellow stutterers) One of the best things I've found for managing my stutter is to slow down, speak calmly, and pause where it feels right. And you know w...

Just be you, big dog. Your stutter doesn't define you but it IS part of you, so if you join in on any group conversations and anyone has a problem with it, move on to the next group of people 🤷 you m...

In a similar boat but learning to love myself despite it all. Just finished my bachelor's and in a weird space where i recollect myself and everything I've been through to get here. The awkward convos...

I took Chase Gillis' program a few years ago. He had his clients do "comfort zone challenges" - one of the challenges he assigned to us was to approach a certain number of strangers and tell them, "He...

Stuttering is Mind programming? Have you thought about this

Stuttering is Mind programming? Have you thought about this I am a software engineer & do coding, i stutter only in real life but not when alone.. My mind creates overthinking & doubts before speak...

I did not mean the child was forced to talk. When I was talking about forcing someone afraid of bugs or germs to touch, I was using an example to show how futile it is to overcome the fear by forcing....

achieve for being comfortable with yourself and not confident. i know it might not sound very helpful but when i embraced myself for who i was/am and not by some projections i wanted or thought i ha...

Then let the thought of having the ability change you.. the more you let an external circumstance dictate how you feel the more control it has over you. You get to choose joy, to choose to connect t...

How to get over the shame of talking about it?

How to get over the shame of talking about it? So I’m 34F and have dealt with stuttering my entire life. I’d probably be categorized as a convert stutterer, but I feel like I’m managing it and stressi...

Also, other people can (often) hide their pain and struggles, we can’t, we feel exposed whether we like it or not...

A good tip I once heard on here was to try to pretend you’re “thoughtful” when speaking, it disguises the blocks. Long gaps, but your facial expression comes off as thoughtful instead of insecure / an...

Yeah by repetition we allow to frame what to say next 😅,  But sometimes it feels weird... But we are different... So we have to live life differently...  Not aspiring to lead a normal life...

Thats the great irony of it, not you, but your very body has to not care, a word has to become any other word but that may take some serious attitude change or a lot of experience of not caring, feeli...

I’ve been through the same. My stutter was at its worst when I tried to hide it. I didn’t want people to know so sometimes I avoided speaking and became really shy or I was overthinking all the time a...

If you saw them doing that to anyone else would you want to be friends with them or date them? I ask because I really think the main thing that makes it hard about having a stutter is believing that...

There’s a lot I can say about this, but it ultimately boiled down to a major mindset shift. I stopped looking at my speech as a problem to get over. I know it’s counterintuitive, but seeing your speec...

Pretty drastic in how I conduct myself. But the changes will come slowly. As I come to terms with my new found powers, I will push the boundaries every single time to see what would happen and push i...
