Christ dude. I've also been in that frame of mind (albeit for different reasons), and all I can say to you is that it gets better. If you ever need to talk, definitely mail me, I'd be more than happy ...

I don't really have confidence issues but this guys advice is simply brilliant. Stop worrying about trying please other people and be yourself. Good luck!...

Thanks, I'm happy my words had a positive impact :) > if I'm able to openly speak, regardless of stuttering, then I win either way. This I think is the real victory. It's what I am striving for. ...

Thanks for this post, I like it so much I copied it into a word document and saved it, for whenever I want to reread it. It's tough, and much easier to say than do, but you've inspired me to try to be...

I usually tell my professors I have a stutter at the beginning of the semester. One offered to not call on me unless I raised my hand, but I told her that won't be necessary, and to treat me like any ...

I stutter. And this is legit advice. I'm doing it and its working. I've tried so many things.... Went back to square 1. And I think in a couple weeks i will be stutter free. But let's see. Only time c...

I know your struggle my friend, all too well. This is very hard advice, because it's very difficult, but you just have to stop caring so much. Trust me, it took me about a decade to stop giving a sh...

You've summed up my life perfectly. I'm in the process of starting to live for myself, without letting my stuttering hold me back. It's been a hard path, but worrying about it is just so exhausting an...

I'll give some personal experience that's helped me a lot, in hopes you find some of the tips useful. I also stutter, am 22 years old, and I primarily block. I experience some prolongations on initia...

Anticipatory struggle is a bitch. Worrying about stuttering will only make it worse. I've been teaching myself over time to, as soon as I reach a block or stutter, immediately stop thinking about that...

Wow, awesome post. I'm definitely going to read those books. Not letting my stutter limit myself is something it took me a long time to realize and implement into my life, and now that I have, I'm so ...

I'm 22 and have been stuttering all my life as well, and have experienced nearly everything you mentioned. My father had anger management issues when I was a kid and life was pretty stressful at times...

You are going to become a teacher? That IS pretty confident I say. I also wanted to become a teacher, but I was to afraid. Big props to you. *Edit: a letter*...

Don't panic. Don't lose hope. You are not alone. First, you should read two books, by two people who have recovered from stuttering following not very different paths. The first is [Redefining Stutt...

Thank you! That was very helpful. I've been trying to just put myself out there, and not care what other people think. I always feel like I have to please everyone, but have learned that that is not ...

You are awesome. Your speech is only a part of who you are, it does not define you as a person. Every single person has a strong voice and opinion, and they deserve to be heard; even if it makes other...

This may or may not be for you but daily meditation was the turning point for me. Also, learning to be mindful. Often my brain gets ahead of my mouth and I start to trip over myself. I started to inse...

It worked for me somewhat. I wouldn't say it made me perfect. Meditation and breathing exercises have helped me more than anything....

Being a stutterer myself, all I can tell you is that you need to learn to accept it as a thing that is a part of you, rather than a thing that defines you. Stuttering sucks, there's no other way to s...

Lots of people stutter. If there was a sudden onset, then hopefully, there will be a sudden off-set. Keep your chin up and don't let it bother you. You have so many other things in your life. Just rem...
