Today, I let it all out

Today, I let it all out Today, I did something I never did and thought that I probably never will; I went to people I know and deliberately talked to them about my stutter. It's been 20 years, life i...

There is also the strategy of voluntary stuttering. The point of this is twofold. It can desensitize the speaker by slipping in small stutters that are noticeable but not big to get used to stuttering...

Very awkward and if you asked me a few years ago to do this would defiantly not be up for it but i'm 27 and enough is enough. If I can't fix the block I CAN fix my posture/eye contact, etc. I have c...

That attitude alone is what has helped me overcome much of my stuttering. Just like you said, thinking "f*ck it, I can do this" and actually talking without fear. Keep it up, get motivated by your pro...

Has anyone lost a job for not talking?

Has anyone lost a job for not talking? My stammer has always kept me quiet. My job now is somewhat social so I work with people a lot, give presentations, chit chat with coworkers, etc. But the whole ...

I have a few things to say about this. First, you're not a bad person for feeling this way. It is likely that hearing someone stutter reminds you of your own stuttering and brings up some kind of emo...

I dont know what to do while applying for a job

I dont know what to do while applying for a job I have a very hard time talking on the phone, as I am pretty sure that I have developed some kind of selective mutism to go along with my stutter. I jus...

I wonder if social anxiety plays a role in this. I know it sounds counterintuitive but I can understand being more comfortable around those that don't have any impression of you, so that you can act w...

Something weird I've noticed First of all I'd like to say hello to everybody here. It's nice to find encouraging place with people who share same problems as you do. I am 20 years old and I've been st...

I'm thinking about quitting my job cause my stuttering has gotten so much worse :-/ you can pm me so we can talk about cause I really need someone too but I feel like this is such a dumb problem to ha...

I would like to wear that hat when a cop pulls me over, I always get pity from them when they see I have a stutter. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing....

Awesome. I wish I wasn't as cynical as you; I'd likely have thought they were making fun of me. I'm way too self-conscious to wear a hat like that, but I salute you....

I would not stress on it too much. For me, this happens almost every time I meet someone new. And truthfully, this situation will occur again and again. The quicker you can accept it the easier it is....

Covert for a long a time too and then it just went for a few months BUT it got back this year. The worst is when I sought professional help, my stutter was all gone when talking to them...but not in r...

As a life-long stutterer, here are a few things that help me; Deep, controlled breaths. This is important, don't inhale and exhale so quickly you hyperventilate, just long, deep breaths. It'll calm y...

It is not ridiculous though. Dealing with a stutter is not easy. I have stuttered my whole life so I understand what you are going through. When I was young, I was petrified of speaking anywhere. I ...

Written with a smile on my face.

Written with a smile on my face. I can't be arsed to write my whole life story, but yeah, I stutter. I have been for my entire life, as far as I am concerned. The difficulties of my stuttering goes...

My stutter is so severe that I stutter on every single word and it's not uncommon for me not being able to finish a sentence. That's last thing is the hardest for me to accept. When I was younger I ha...
