I've been doing exactly this for the last two months. :) I'm very close to getting to the point where I don't care anymore. Just think of all the small things you want to do but don't because you s...

I think your goal of actively trying to talk to people in situations you normally wouldn't is fantastic, but I'm not sure that it will be as helpful as it could if goes hand in hand with a goal of dec...

You're getting annoyed at how other people might see you though, no? I was in your position. One of these days I'm going to post a video just to show the severity. I was gone beyond the line of "not b...

not to deflect from your point, but you created a scenario of either staying a severe stutterer or finding a magic cure with no middle ground. When these are the only two options the only result is mi...

Doesn't matter if you grow out of it or not as you get older you will stop giving a f so much about it and it will actually make your speech better....

Hang in there buddy. I was mortified of presentations in school and was extremely miserable whenever I had to. Later on in college, I was in a give-no-fucks phase that immensely helped. I guess we nee...

Are you in school? High school? College? During high school I avoided presentations at all costs, usually by doing alternative assignments or one-on-one presentations with teachers. In college I didn...

We usually stutter more the more we try not to. The best thing you can do is try to get yourself ok with stuttering in presentations (and in general). It's going to happen, you know it is. So you migh...

Honestly I'd say attack it. Get over the fear. The anxiety makes it worse. The more you practice the more comfortable you become. Then it becomes nothing more than a conversation with an audience. And...

Hey brother, I know this was a long time ago but I still want to say Im proud of you!!! Our best weapon against stuttering is not caring. ...

Hey man! Been through it all throughout highschool. Truth is.. who cares? Hear me out. You should have that mentality. Here is the main reason; stuttering usually worsens when one feels anxiety. It c...

Yes! I've been trying so hard to promote this mindset for the past few years. Good for you, welcome to the club!...

Right, I don't have the key to it yet. My journey isn't over. But I've at least experienced it for the first time. I now know it's possible for me, so now it's all about trying to have that state of m...

100% agree with this. The less you care about what you look or sound like, the less you'll fuck up talking. It's all in your head and if you can halt the beginning of that vicious cycle, you can stop ...

That is certainly one of the keys. If you figure out how you got to the point of not caring, let us know! I've gone out and just talked and stuttered and "not cared", but still end up feeling tense du...

The best technique I've found... The best technique I've found is just not caring. It's hard to get to that point, I know. I'm still struggling with it. But today was a massive step towards reaching...

Pep Talk What's good guys. I stutter. I've wasted a huge chunk of my life because I've been afraid. I'm insecure... Boo hoo. Poor me. I've lived in fear. Guess what? I'm fed up. I found a local suppo...

Totally agree. The programme isn't some magical solution, but if you work hard enough you'll do just fine. It's about putting daily effort to change your habits and mindset and so far it has worked fo...

Oh, yes!! The McGuire programme have been the best thing I ever did for myself. BUT! It really depends how much effort you put into it. You have to be strict, keep on challenging yourself for it to wo...
