I’m tired

I’m tired I’m 22 years old and have had a stutter as long as I can remember. Everyday interactions that most people don’t even think about cause me so much anxiety. I can’t even say my own name half t...

This is kinda mind blowing for me because I went vegan in 2023 and I feel like that’s when I gained more control of my stutter. It’s still there but I have more power over it. I never thought about a ...

You're not alone here. My speech has greatly improved on a whole foods plant based diet when nothing else has really worked. For me it's dairy and meat that impact my speech. I do think there is a con...

It’s really frustrating because the stutter has nothing to do with being suspicious, but people still read it the wrong way. I’ll definitely look into seeing a general psychiatrist for the anxiety, ma...

No worries we all go through the same shit in varying degrees. I absolutely hate it when I stutter at immigration, it makes me look suspicious af for no good reason. See if you can get access to a gen...

It's just another tool that can be used in different situations. For example, I use an AI voice cloning tool for voiceovers. I recorded a short clip of me speaking and then I can enter this clip along...

Hey, I feel for you so much. I'm 33, and my worst block was when I was 21. I had a job interview where I couldn't speak at all for 40 minutes. Honestly, the worst day of my life. Now, I'm 95% fluent. ...

Difficulty with sustained conversations

Of course bullies are dick heads and we should ignore them if we can, but why did you put a positive spin on the discriminatory teacher? You must recognize that these situations exist and are difficul...

Most of the people we meet aren't of our own choice. What can someone do if their teacher discrimates against them because of their speech? Or if they get fired with that as an argument? It's good i...
