hm, i guess i sense a certain "success story", and that all those who aren't succeeding don't deserve mentioning. it's just that i don't see how "work ethic" will necessarily bring about a better spe...

You make a good point about how I never explained what confidence was and how it would help if I explained how I think confidence would help the person who stutters. I was more going for the person w...

i get what you're saying. but it's like... i don't think "confidence" is even all that relevant to stuttering. sure, confidence issues might be correlated with stuttering, but it's by no means unique ...

Hi nukefudge, I definitely get where you're coming from. And I don't want to say that what I see or experience is the same as others. The first thing I want to point out is that the piece is about wha...

i actually don't get the comparison between "chaotic music" and stutter at all. the elements of the analogy seem to be on rather different levels. the confidence thing seems to bring the two a bit cl...

Hey glad my post can help you. It feels good being able to relate to people with the same issue, because I literally know nobody else who has to deal with this. Meditating helps a little bit. But hone...

I went to a clinic when I was in 6th grade and it was a bad experience for me personally. I was in there with kids who were handicapped and seemingly incoherent. We would all sit around in a table and...

Keep your head up. I've been stuttering my whole life and I went through exactly the same things you're going through. The truth is, yes, it sucks, but it also gets better. You have to learn to accept...

Hey man! I'm in college, my junior year and I will tell you, it gets easier. I went through a long period of depression and I'm somewhat still in it, but i'm telling you, it get's easier. Just like wh...

We only live this life once

We only live this life once ....why waste it scared of other people's opinions or reactions towards us? As I grow older, I come to realize just how much I've let stuttering limit me. I'm not confide...

Being open does help. Only a couple of my closer friends know that I stutter and it relieves a lot of pressure. I'm able to talk to them much more fluently and some even question if I do actually stut...

I once was friends with someone with a speech impediment (pronunciation). He did often stutter because of it though. Besides that I havent. Statistically it's meant to be that 1/100 people stutter. Ou...

Yes lots. I had a close friend in high school that did. Also, you'll meet tons if you go to a NSA convention. I was one of the few people there that did not stutter... I felt very out-of-place....

Yes, several. One in middle school (we became goof friends), a classmate in college, and another classmate, this one a girl, who accomplished a lot in her four years. I also know a lot of people who I...

I've only met a couple of stutterers, but none had the impediment I have (silent blocks) and it's also just extremely uncomfortable for some reason ...

i met one guy while I was waiting table back in college.He was going with his female friends. Since I got used to the job, I didn't appear to be stuttering when I took his orders. Boys, did he stutt...

Once, while at work. He was a Co worker. I told him I noticed it and that I stutter sometimes too....

When i was 17 I went to a clinic in Virginia where I went through therapy with 11 other people with a stutter. I got to talk to them a healthy amount. It was the first time I'd ever met people in pers...

I just wrote a genetics paper on stuttering. Unrelated to the paper, I read an article written by a SLP from several decades ago. The jist was as stutterers, we view our stutters as their own entity. ...

I agree with you. But, I wonder if we (as a group) are using the same definition of "stuttering" -- as in are we discussing the behavior (actual disfluencies) or the condition (being one prone to disf...
