The people who made fun of my stutter or judged me based on it I just took them out of my life, look you are going to meet lots of twats in your life, they will judge you because of your stutter and t...

thanks. Having a stutter does not matter in life, if you don't let it define who you are. That's why I was angry - because I have now built into me that I'm a capable person and that stuttering is not...

smile. :D Seriously, for some strange odd reason whenever I smile my stammer seems to disappear. It must be a confidence thing, but it helps not only with interviews but with talking to women on the ...

I think I can relate. Whenever I'm giving a talk or speaking publicly in general, my stutter is somehow greatly reduced. I think a lot of it has to do with confidence, and maybe an adrenaline rush tha...

No offense, but I would rather not put where I worked at on here, for privacy reasons. I will say that it was east coast. Anyway, I was nervous as shit when my first lesson came up, but honestly I h...

He's probably doing that on purpose. One of the techniques many use to build a good foundation is to intentionally over-do everything so that it holds up in tight situations. He should be able to move...

Okay, I think it's time to try and push this a little bit.

Okay, I think it's time to try and push this a little bit. I've been a moderate stammer right from the beginning. As a child it didn't affect me very much, but as soon as I got into the teenage years ...

When I talk to someome (especially girls, I'm a guy) and got stuck, I just take a break, give him/her an excusing look, look them directly in the eyes and smile. That seems to get nearly everyone; I n...

Thank you for sharing your story. I am 27 and still have a stutter from when I was 6 years old (this morning I had trouble getting out the word "animation" for a good 5 seconds). I am also a litigator...

practice, practice, and practice. Also you have to throw yourself out there to get better. if you are afraid how they act when you stutter, when you introduce yourself to them throw out a f-f-fake s-...

It's wonderful that you've come so far, and that you plan on being an English teacher and translator is amazing! I only stammer a little these days, but I still avoid public speaking and some phone ca...

Definitely start practicing the singing if it helped you speak fluently. I remember being really nervous when I started college that someone would tease me, because I knew no one. But everyone was lov...

Wow, you totally just summed up me 1 year ago. I can totally relate man. I use to sit at home on a Saturday night while my friends were out partying filled with hate and self pity. The turning point f...

Mate, what I have isn't courage. It is simply: The fear of doing what has to be done to overcome stuttering < The fear of my stutter causing me to avoid and miss out on life. ...

Positive: Friends - I have a great set of close friends who I know will be there for me no matter what. They have put up with my severe stutter (sometimes being unable to get out anything for over a ...

It stresses me out, but I also think a little quicker on my feet. I also have this super power- it's made me really good at being likeable. Nothing worse than someone with a speech impediment AND a ba...
