wow. Didn't know this subreddit existed. I've stuttered all of my life and up until my mid 30's it really fucked me up. At its worst i couldn't get a bus, order a drink at the bar, go to job interview...

Oh god,If I wanted do write something like this,this is exactly how I would express it.You were spot on for everything. Sometimes I do wonder would people talk to me more (even though I'm fine with h...

So when she asked you why you repeated a word you laughed at yourself instead of telling her you stutter? When someone suggested you watch the King's Speech (who sounds like she was your friend by t...

You are really doing a lot of guessing here. You do not know these women are not turning into long term relationships because of your speech impediment, in fact you readily admit that no one has told ...

Great post. I think each stutterer needs to find their own way out at the end of the day. Lately, i've just been observing all my abnormal behaviour and asking myself "what would a person without a...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeh, I hope I showed in my post that my stutter isn't something that went away or that i'm suddenly very brave. It's that....i take the punches...i fall down...but ...

I've been in education for many years, and I obviously kept going even when my stutter was punching my face a lot. I'm not sure that counts as "doing it", though - I mean, it's not like I willed the s...

Motivation: Teaching English in Japan Hello fellow stutters/stammers/speech impedimenters, So this is a post where I talk about myself but it's not to brag. It's to provide some sort of proof that h...

I read a lot of books and did all the therapy as a kid, but now that I'm 21 I feel like I've matured enough to finally try applying what I read. It's still a daily struggle, but I've improved a lot I ...

its all in your head

its all in your head this stutter shit is all mental real talk, for me anyway. If i dont think about it I'm golden. I just cant figure out how to get it out of my head. Everytime i do notice im fluent...

Digital versus IRL

Digital versus IRL Frequent lurker, first time poster. I'm 32 and like many of the folks here, have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. About a year ago I started sim racing on /r/iRacing ...

the thing that made me start to get it was realizing that though i thought i accepted my stutter (since duh, i know i stutter), I was really just acknowledging it rather than accepting it. I was simul...

Today, I let it all out

Today, I let it all out Today, I did something I never did and thought that I probably never will; I went to people I know and deliberately talked to them about my stutter. It's been 20 years, life i...

Thank you for taking the time to write that. I actually have joined a group that meets weekly to practice for about a month now. Its been good, it helped me do a presentation at school. I'm actuall...

That attitude alone is what has helped me overcome much of my stuttering. Just like you said, thinking "f*ck it, I can do this" and actually talking without fear. Keep it up, get motivated by your pro...

That's why you first need to change your expectations, your beliefs. Try to gain confidence, be more positive! That's the most effective way to stop stuttering! Most people go for techniques like air...

The analogy is supposed to illustrate the process of speaking, not the emotional side of it. Also note that ofc confidence isn't the answer to everyone, I just want to clarify that it applies to me....

it's always good to try and get some sort of grip on your own stutter, to get acquainted with yourself that way. i imagine there are numerous ways of representing it, in terms that make sense to the s...

Hey fellow blocker! I know exactly what you mean as for the other people commenting in this thread. You're not alone. It really is about self confidence. I've found that reallllly focusing on the time...

Yeah been to a few and will keep going. I have yet met anyone who isn't glad they want. For many people, their first conference is pretty eye opening. I really don't like to hype stuff and I am reserv...
