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...

Wow, awesome post. I'm definitely going to read those books. Not letting my stutter limit myself is something it took me a long time to realize and implement into my life, and now that I have, I'm so ...

When you speak before the class in poetry readings etc. you should announce your stutter beforehand. Any time I have to give a speech I do it and it makes everyone much more comfortable/understanding ...

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...

Thank you! That was very helpful. I've been trying to just put myself out there, and not care what other people think. I always feel like I have to please everyone, but have learned that that is not ...

I tend to have a really tough time with 'H' sounds, which is a pain in the ass because my name begins with an 'H'. This means that every time I have to introduce myself, it takes me a second or so to ...

plus, i hope you dont get flustered by this stuff. What i think is A) the person doesnt understand whats going on and isnt trying to attack me, or B) who cares what somehow who would go as low as to t...

I dont know where you're from. But most people dont understand whats going on, so if you calmly explain to them that you have a stutter and cannot control it, 99% will probably feel bad and apologize....

I don't know your entire situation, but I've found that many people react awkwardly to stuttering because they are uncomfortable and try to defuse their own uncomfortability with lame attempts at humo...

thank you so much for your input! I am an advocate for people who stutter and am hoping to raise awareness! One day I heard "Well if people who sutter didn't want to stutter, they just wouldn't do it,...
