I'm married now, and I know it's harder than it sounds, but I was never subconscious going on dates because I believed that the "right' person wouldn't care. If this girl does, that's that. As you s...

Does she know that you stutter? If not, maybe broadcast that before you two get together. That way, she knows what to expect. Maybe that will take some of the onus off of your stutter. If you both...

Informal therapy back in grade school. I guess you could say that I was a covert stutterer up until about a year ago. Now I fully stutter (even around my family which is a bit weird). I'm available ju...

One of the best things I've ever read on here. Very inspirational story of yours and I have deep respect for the way you handled your life. I agree with most of your points, but not everyone can just...

Yep, as soon as you're aware that people are looking at you, it's like you're looking at yourself through their eyes. Then, you realise you've been stuttering for the past 5 seconds and have no idea w...

Awesome putting yourself out there! Sometimes embracing the crowd makes it better. In college I told my professors I had a stutter, and it made presentations and speaking aloud much easier. ...

you will get over it because there is no other option. your own way to get over it may be by learning every trick and technique to never block again, it may be by being open and accepting about that ...

I agree, there are very few legitimate reasons to forego responding to requests regarding the outcome of an interview. Though its probably pretty rare, there are some companies out there who keep a po...

I am a stutterer and this is my story

I am a stutterer and this is my story Hello everyone. First of all, excuse me if you see any grammar mistakes, since English is not my first language. I'll do my best. I have been a stutterer since I...

Hey all, I just want to tell you about my story (I am a lifelong stutterer)

Hey all, I just want to tell you about my story (I am a lifelong stutterer) Hey everybody, I've posted on here a couple times quite a while ago but in the last month or so my life has taken a directi...

Do you do anything to give yourself moments of fluency or does it just happen? If not, I might not be seeing where the credit comes from. Likewise, you're not doing anything on purpose to stutter, it'...

Well I guess that's a good question. I guess I say I give myself credit for moments of fluency, to remind myself that I am able to get my message across and its not all a struggle. But I guess the mom...

There's many other thoughts around stuttering in your mind, generally someone who has a very heavy stutter things more negatively and therefore trying to implement this thought in your head will just ...

I appreciate your help. But a lot of stutters are exactly opposite of you:-) We stutter more when the spotlight is on us or stutter more when trying to speak fluently. ...

I'm sorry to hear that. I actually know another stutterer from my NSA group who openly stutters and works in a call center. Some days aren't super bad, other days are really brutal. After the brutal d...

If someone has a technique they're working on then it would be great. But Some people might feel too shy or too uncomfortable to go into a chatroom and start chatting. I've been around other stutterer...

I can only speak for my group which has been around for well over a decade. In essence, it's a place of support. A place where you can be yourself, where you don't have to hide or feel guilty or asham...

Yes, this is all very true. What you think you become. I also focus a lot and spend quite some time thinking about how to change my perspective and try to develop an overall positive outlook, which mo...

I'd like to come at this with some humor, in the movie The Big Lebowski, Walter says "if you will it, it is no dream" i love this quote for many reasons, but mostly because it shows the openness of th...

I can relate 100% and it's terrible. The work situation is devastating. I, like you, act as if I was this socially retarded sociopath. And my co-workers probably think the same. The dream that replays...
