Hi iciaguy. On second thought, I'd like to rephrase that last question. Think I may have over-simplified it! Branden's premise seems to be that the core problem isn't even the type of thinking, but th...

I am going into my junior year, I will tell you, you wll probably do great your first couple of weeks, but things may or may not go sour at some point. whether it be social, academic or other pressure...

http://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/273f6h/starting_college_tomorrow/ not much to say except try to keep presepective and do what you want to do. there'll probably be times when you get down abo...

I feel your pain on #4; sometimes I feel like with my stutter, I dont even know who I am as a person. Just because talking is an issue, it's like I dont even have a life and I'm not relatable in anywa...

So if you want to characterize stuttering correctly here's a list of things to note about stuttering. 1) Right now I only see speech sound repetitions. However, there are other types of disfluencies....

I dont consciously do but my speech is worse and its harder to control. I think its because i have my own acceptance issues and put extra pressures on myself....

Finished this book a few nights ago, and it was uncanny how much I could relate to the author's writing. Growing up, I found myself in lots of similar situations, such as being terrified of introduci...

My name is Jesse. I am 31 years old and have regularly stuttered to some degree since I was in 5th grade. I have had peaks and valleys. Stretches where I speak great and have little issues (such as...

Well, I try to not let my stutter define me as a person. But frankly it's hard. Clearly it's a handicap we all have to deal with. I don't think I'm feeling good about myself lately....

I think your first statement is really interesting. I feel like dating someone who stutters would sound like two misfiring machine guns going back and fourth. And if you had a child, they would almost...

He was offered a job,it's not like it was his dream - and honestly that's probably the best thing you can do for stutter.He would have never overcame his problem (at least not in the way he did) if he...

I completely disagree with that "stutterers can do anything they want" mentality. It does not work for everyone, including me. I have been looking for a job in a library, I mean, the whole point is ...

All the most successful people in regards to their stuttering have all held jobs where they were forced to confront it. I'm not saying you have to work the the drive through line at a fast food place,...

I definitely know what you mean, except I do this with other things other than stuttering. I think that's just our fear throwing fantasies over us so we just stay dreaming, feel good, and dont take ac...

Do we all feel like we're all waiting for that breakthrough that will make us so confident that we'll be relieved from our stutter?

Do we all feel like we're all waiting for that breakthrough that will make us so confident that we'll be relieved from our stutter? It has come to my realisation that for nearly my whole life I've bee...

you're avoiding facing your fear head on and using a workaround which is avoiding. A lot of PWS do avoid and it only reinforces the fear they have in stuttering. Tricks and workaround dont give you ...

Yes, it can be seen as an avoidance behavior although I personally tend to rather see it as a workaround. You're not avoiding the situation, you're using technology to your advantage to get involved ...

well speaking is supposed to be natural. for a lot of people, most of the thinking is how they are going to speak as opposed to what they are going to say. That is when a lot of the fear and doubt com...

Oh man I also have lots of trouble with follow through which amounts to plenty of fragmented projects which in turn causes so much stress that keeps me on my couch. I feel you. We can motivate each ot...
