Female stutterer (26yrs) here.. I think it's not good to write that in your bio. Somehow it's seems too apologetic. You don't have to be sorry about your stutter. Everybody has his or her flaws and us...

Stop taking shortcuts. You stutter. You're always going to stutter. The sooner you embrace this reality, the easier it will be for you and your listeners. I've been there. Once at a party during an in...

I hear it all the time from everyone who decides to criticise me about my stuttering. I don't care, that's the way I talk and maybe I do have problems breathing when I talk but I'm still the same pers...

There's a lot that's been reposted, but I agree they are hard to find. This one might be my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6z18y2IP6k I think the biggest problems people who really strugg...

I agree that it's when we try not to stutter that we do... but I appreciate to some extent your refusal of the label. Personally I've transitioned to "I *have* challenges speaking sometimes" rather th...

I'm confused. If you do stutter you are a stutterer. Stuttering is what we do when we try not to stutter. By trying to look away from this part of ourselves we perpetuate the problem IMO....

"Accepting the problem" just made it worse for me. (Moderate glitches)

"Accepting the problem" just made it worse for me. (Moderate glitches) I wrote much more, but it's gone because I accidentally pressed F5, but my point is, don't be thinking about it. Like, you know i...

Thanks for the response. I think that's my thing - I'm always trying to hide it from people, and I just hope that when I have kids, I won't feel the need to hide it. That would be exhausting....

I don't know how old you are or what kind of medical issue brought on your stuttering, but as far as I am aware, blocking is stuttering. At least it is if you are blocking when you feel you are about ...

Thank you for the detailed response. Unfortunately, I'm not a stutterer at all; I only block. I haven't always blocked; I was completely fluent for my entire life and then unfortunately around 2 years...

Firstly, I don't think people *will* think you have a mental disability if you're blocking. The truth is, no matter how much we mind read and gleam, we don't know what people are thinking. A few bad e...

But what's the point of doing all of it? For instance, for stutterers, the end goal is that you are confident about it, learn that people are totally accepting of it, and you are able to stutter freel...

I totally see how that would work in a situation where the other person knows you have an impediment. But what if the other person is a stranger that doesn't know? To him, it would just look like you ...

I write for the student newspaper and did my first interview today.

I write for the student newspaper and did my first interview today. ... And it went fine! I stuttered, but I got the questions out, she answered them, and everything went well! It's hard to just move ...

You can start by giving yourself permission to stutter. It seems like you change your way of speaking to avoid stuttering. Don't do that. I was like you few years ago. I avoided stuttering using some ...

Stutter can be healed. My story. (AmA?)

Stutter can be healed. My story. (AmA?) Hey everyone! My name is Michael, i'm a 24 yo student from Poland. I've been stuttering since i was about 12. It never have been a big problem for me, i had a l...

Advice I received as a kid

Advice I received as a kid When I was a kid, a great aunt pulled me aside and told me the best advice I've ever received. She said: *I have a stutter, too. Sometimes I try to speak but the words don...

This. You can't overcome the stutter without accepting you're challenged with it, and be open about that fact....

"Personally, I see stuttering as an embarrassing and awkward experience for both me and the person I'm speaking with. " Just try to realize how much better your life would be without this toxic and ...

Thanks a ton for replying. It can be tough because many times I feel that I shouldn't have to explain that their behavior is unacceptable. Having to explain to a sibling why they shouldn't mock my stu...
