I went to HCRI back in 2010, I was 23 at the time and I've had a mild stutter my whole life. I found that the most valuable part of the session was getting to know 7 other stutterers. I had never me...

I see that this post is almost a month old but I really wanted to leave something here for anyone who happens upon it like me. I'm a new teacher and I have a mild stutter (as well as anxiety depressi...

I used the speecheasy and the fluency master (prefered, less annoying). They didnt last for me. They work off the interesting principle that we typically dont stutter when speaking in unison. So what ...

I was a covert stutterer for the first 30 or so years of my life. It was exhausting. I had a whole list of words I would not use. It sounds like you don't have that bad a stutter, so I would recommend...

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...

This basically applies to me too. Ive always had a pretty bad stutter but ive never felt THAT bad about it and was always comfortable talking about it and everything. But I could feel when I would blo...

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...

Just got a job working at a sports stadium behind the bar. Don't let your stutter control you!

Just got a job working at a sports stadium behind the bar. Don't let your stutter control you! So I just got a job working as a barman at a football stadium in Australia. It will be very busy job and ...

I'm with bearZero. I think getting older and seeing myself as an adult helped me. It's not that I actively tell myself "go out there, be yourself, and everyone else be damned", I just stopped thinki...

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...

True. Not caring has helped me speak more fluently. I used to care about how people felt; like you said empathy. Now I try my best to not give a damn. You won't see that person again so why care? WE a...

Woah, congrats! On the girl bit, too. :p I have a similar story like yours. While I am not a "journalist", I am in that field, and my work has, increasingly over the years, demanded that I go out and...

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...

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...

Confidence is key. Sometimes its unavoidable tho. What i would do is just push thru it. Its not a specific technique or strategy to use. Just keep your head up and power thru. No worries homie....

I'm lucky I 'came out of my shell' in my teens, it helped my stutter for years. It's all about courage, perseverance and a fucktonne of legwork, but give it a try. It can be an embarrassing experience...

I'm a lecturer at a local IT college. At first, I was petrified of actually doing the lectures. After a while I got the hang of it. My students are very accepting and very patient. I haven't heard of ...

When i meet new people that stutter i always say something like "Hey you stutter?" "ya" "well highfive". Or something more appropriate for the situation, but i always try to break it to him that i stu...
