While I understand what you're saying and I agree with a lot of it, I'm sure many would disagree on what effect skin color has on abilities. Not because of an inherent direct connection with abilities...

I guess redheads could say the same, people with freckles etc. A few dozen years ago it used to be that women with dark skin were frowned upon, and women with really fair skin were popular, so much so...

The thing is, it's not only perceived a flaw by society, but by stutterer himself, too (in most cases)....

> PS: regarding evolutionary biology and how this wouldn't be the greatest survival trait... same goes for gay people (can't physically reproduce), but still it's a steady 10% (if not more). Actua...

Hey man, I feel you right now, I really do. Ive read up on a lot of research, talked with a lot of people and dont a lot of self exploration. After all of my "progress" I feel like my stutter hasnt im...

I'was always an overt stutterer. I was so severe that there was no way I could hide it. Still I wasn't accepting myself as a stutterer. What I needed the most was a role model who stuttered openly. Th...

First I want to say that you are not alone and that your feelings of anger and resentment are completely valid and understandable. My younger brother stutters, and I have watched him go through differ...

Immense Anger towards it All (Covert Stuttering/Rant)

Immense Anger towards it All (Covert Stuttering/Rant) I am a covert stutterer....kinda. I would classify myself as semi-covert in that I no longer use any techniques, substitutions, or secondaries suc...

Okie doke! Well, I had a ridiculously bad stutter as a child. So much so that it made me a social recluse from the ages of 12-16. However, literally overnight, I just decided to push myself and go to...

Sorry for posting this late. I teach high school math, and I've been doing so for almost a decade. I have been stuttering as long as I can remember. Growing up, I figured out ways to make my stutte...

I'm a manager for a major company and tend to be biased and hire people that stutter. Been battling it my whole life ...

Not much advice on trying not to stutter, when im introducing myself I just try to enjoy meeting the other person (and therefore look like im happy to meet them, and not worried about my stutter). The...

There are no tips, mate. There is nothing anyone can tell you that will help in any sort of beneficial manner. Breathing techniques, speak slowly, blah blah blah, all that bullshit does not work - at...

I think you've described many of us to a tee. It's crazy, it's like we're stopped in slow motion, watching people speed through sentences and 'excuse' themselves the rare times they stutter a little a...

I have started practicing since I read this, it actually has been helping with a few words but it's only been seven days so I doubt I'll see any massive leaps in progress for a little while. I make su...

I'm not a teacher but I've known professors who stuttered, one of which is an SLP. His breakthrough came when during a year end evaluation questionnare, he decided to put on it, "Does my stutter affec...

I truly feel for you, I completely understand how you feel. I am 20 and in college and it feels horrible to be passed over for internships in my field (Kinda computer sciency) because I don't convey c...

Stuttering;Disconnect

Stuttering;Disconnect Living as a covert stutter for 20 years has left me with a catastrophic hole in my spirit, connection to others has been skewed for so much of my life that I feel completely inhu...

I think it's all in the mind. Even though I don't stutter as much anymore, I still have that feeling of fear or failing; that I won't be able to speak fluently. I need to get rid of that fear, but I d...

No they don't, they just talk. They never had a need to think how to speak, only what they want to say. If there is anyone out there who knows how to become completely unself conscious, please let me ...
