Maybe so. I just feel like "acceptance" sounds like this sort of positive and closure-like term. It's not like stuttering is no longer a prevalent overhead, just because I've (purportedly) "accepted" ...

I think so, it is no longer an obstacle or an excuse to stay quiet, rather, my interpretation anyway, it seems to be like every other persons disfluencies. Like op, I usually hide my stutter and so pe...

Hm, I'm not sure I "accept" it. Like, I stutter because I want to speak, but does that mean I'm "open"? I'd rather _not_ stutter, and every time something comes out that's _not_ stuttered, that feels ...

I like your way of thinking. I am rather open when it comes to activity, and I like to do most things, more or less. Right now I just want to have genuine, honest and sincere conversations with people...

Of course. The last meetup I went to had a guy from eastern Europe, and another from Northern Africa. Since the hosts are Canadian we speak in English, but other than that, it's a pretty chill group. ...

I would love that. I have been trying to get in contact with stutterers where I live, but it's not going that good, well I haven't tried so hard though. I am up for a skype or hangout session, however...

I always thought that when I don't think about it. I'm fine because there's no fear. I don't think about it at all and I only stutter in 5% of my interactions. You wouldn't even know unless I told you...

I'm not sure if I stutter because I am shy or I am shy because I stutter.

I'm not sure if I stutter because I am shy or I am shy because I stutter. when I am talking out loud to myself I don't stutter at all...

I just got tired of it. I got tired of being the victim; the fish going into the shark tank; the quivering sinner awaiting judgment by an all-mighty God. It's not an easy switch to make and my experie...

You're right, but how did you get past the fearful mindset? The fear of stuttering is so much worse than stuttering itself, but im really struggling to get past the 'fear' mindset. When I feel confid...

You can't live like this. You can't thrive with such a fearful mindset. Aren't you just over it by now? We're the same age, and I've done my share of presentations and I've fought against this mindset...

I'm actually in college right now. I've considered registering with DSS (Disability Support Services, as it's called at my school), but haven't for a few reasons. First and foremost, I don't think th...

Psychology of stuttering

Psychology of stuttering I want to use this as a place where we, as people who stutter, can share thoughts about our relationship to our own stuttering. I'm 24, male, and I'm a moderate/severe stutter...

Well I do know some excellent SLPs who are pws, but I think I know even more who aren't. And they totally get it. Oftentimes I think they get it better than me, so dont count them out. Being fluent is...

Yes, I'm sure you are absolutely right about the self-disclosure. Actually this is exactly what I've realized during the last weeks, I'm going through a big progress and change in my life right now. U...

Between the ages of high school and now I was a covert stutterer (or at least I thought I was one). Since I'm now as open about it as I can be, I guess apart of me feels guilty not so much for being f...

*That was a typo. But this explanation still holds I think.* --- I shouldn't and that's the rub. I am just a person who happens to have a disconnect with the majority of people and the way they spea...

I took a communications class this last semester and obviously having to do oral presentations forced me to be more open about my stutter. I wouldn't say that I usually advertise, as I firmly believe ...

Interesting. Do you usually present yourself as "a stutterer", and/or avoid doing stuff because "I stutter"? How do you imagine other stutterers go about their stuttering?...

Does anyone else...act? And find that they do not stutter?

Does anyone else...act? And find that they do not stutter? I have a someone severe stutter. Very often times I get blocks where I just can't spit the word out, and if I do get it out, I repeat it abou...
