Same here, I am an amazing writer and I love writing essays and stories for classes. I can really take the time to think about what I want to say and say it just right. I've been getting better with m...

I was just thinking about this the other day! I've always been recognized by teachers (and, later, profs) for my writing. My friends would ask me to edit their papers in high school. My speaking ha...

I don't prefer writing to speaking, but I am a fairly decent writer and I think it might have something to do with having a stutter. I'm studying to become a teacher, but writing is my real passion. ...

Yes, even though as a kid I also played sports and spent time with friends a lot. Mostly because I used to stutter less, or give less of a crap, when I was younger. But basically for the same reason a...

Anyone else a better writer than speaker?

Anyone else a better writer than speaker? I've stuttered my whole life (it's been getting better as I've gotten older and don't think about it as much as I used to) and, since conversing with people w...

Thanks for this post, I like it so much I copied it into a word document and saved it, for whenever I want to reread it. It's tough, and much easier to say than do, but you've inspired me to try to be...

You've summed up my life perfectly. I'm in the process of starting to live for myself, without letting my stuttering hold me back. It's been a hard path, but worrying about it is just so exhausting an...

This is great advice, thank you. When I block, all I can think of is the word / sound I'm stuck on - I try to hit it faster, like an obstacle to jump over and that just makes it worse. Tomorrow (it's...

I'll give some personal experience that's helped me a lot, in hopes you find some of the tips useful. I also stutter, am 22 years old, and I primarily block. I experience some prolongations on initia...

Anticipatory struggle is a bitch. Worrying about stuttering will only make it worse. I've been teaching myself over time to, as soon as I reach a block or stutter, immediately stop thinking about that...

Wow, awesome post. I'm definitely going to read those books. Not letting my stutter limit myself is something it took me a long time to realize and implement into my life, and now that I have, I'm so ...

Don't panic. Don't lose hope. You are not alone. First, you should read two books, by two people who have recovered from stuttering following not very different paths. The first is [Redefining Stutt...

Thank you! That was very helpful. I've been trying to just put myself out there, and not care what other people think. I always feel like I have to please everyone, but have learned that that is not ...

You are awesome. Your speech is only a part of who you are, it does not define you as a person. Every single person has a strong voice and opinion, and they deserve to be heard; even if it makes other...

I too have tried this method and the truth is that you should not have to constantly be thinking about how to slur your words together when you talk. This speech sounds unnatural. I had to ween myse...

Just Jay: A Short Intro

Just Jay: A Short Intro I just wanted to introduce myself, I watched the King's Speech just now and felt compelled to find a subreddit. And if there wasn't one I was gonna make it. I'm glad I didn't h...

thats really weird how it just came about also dont tell yourself you cant talk or that its going happen the next time you talk, if you say cant or think its going to happen ,then it will happen stutt...

I can understand this concern, but in a way it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you believe that a stutterer can't command respect, then that filters through into your body language and all of t...

I have had a stutter my whole life. I still feel some symptoms, like some very quick stuttering and some residue anxiety about speech. But they are very minor, and when I feel them I ignore them. I'm ...

Let me just get some clarification, because if you're a non-temporary stutterer, you dont even just stop stuttering. From what I know, its always there with you, but you are just able to control it an...
