So, I just had a breakthrough... First, I'd like to say thanks to everyone on this subreddit for all the positive and encouraging posts. I wish I had found this much sooner. I feel a kinship with all...

Actually my dad was probably too honest with me. Every time I ever had a bad experience or people would laugh at me I'd ask him "Why are people like this?". He would always tell me "people are shit", ...

Normally I would agree, but I became very conscious of my speech during my teenage years- before that time, I though everyone was lying about the lisp. I'll see if I can find more. The only things I ...

Not going to be much help but I've stuttered all my life. Did anything traumatic happen to you around the time you noticed the change? Physical or psychological ...

Hey man, I've been there. Nineteen was the rock-bottom point in my life. Luckily I had something of a breakthrough moment (during a total breakdown) that changed my perspective. Essentially, it comes...

While I understand your feelings I don't think you should blame your parents. They've tried to raise you to the best of their abilities. The mental side of stuttering however is a strong beast that is...

Stuttering & Mental Health Awareness Day

Stuttering & Mental Health Awareness Day Today, October 10th, is Mental Health Awareness Day. This day has got me thinking about stuttering and the connections it could have to mental health issue...

Hey. Just joined the wonderful world of Reddit and was so ecstatic to find this sub. My story. I'm 29 years old, and I've been a covert stutterer ever since I can remember. When I first realised I had...

Great question. Yes, I've spent a great deal of my waking life thinking about traumatic roots that played a part in my burgeoning stutter and I have to sadly say that I had one helluva traumatic child...

I don't know about you guys, but I stutter only marginally less when I'm alone. I actually might have a physical reason for my stutter (short tongue), but I know a lot of it is psychological, so idk w...

I know I inherited my stutter from my dad. My mom once played me a recording of me when I was a toddler stuttering through a nursery rhyme. However, I do believe the trauma of having to speak on my ...

It'd be nice if you could share your research results with me. Here's my story. I was, and always have been home-schooled. And no, it wasn't the co-op, Christian social homeschooling; it was hard wor...

It's a start. Only supposed to be seen as food for thought rather than a concrete tutorial as such. I know there's more to it than that. But believe me, after going through these issues for all of my ...

Well look at you, fancy pants! Ain't that a load of pseudo-intellectual bullshit! Let's break it down. You said: > 10% physical and 90% psychological is arbitrary and ignorant. Of course it's a...

You might be true. But I never stutter when I choose to speak when no one's around. That surely says a lot. You're always a bit nervous even if you think you're truly comfortable and that's why we s...

Stuttering doesn't stem from a psychological problem. You're drawing a erroneous conclusion. We don't stutter because we are nervous or scared or any other emotion. We are nervous/scared/etc. because ...

No one is stating you need to be drugged all the time. The point here is that stuttering stems from mostly a psychological problem and not strictly a physical one....

I think family might reinforce those negative beliefs we have about ourselves, especially if that's the place they were created. Family members puts us in certain roles almost instantly, I mean I stil...
