Has been in the same situation. I did not really tell anyone that I stuttered. I think most people understand that you are not brain damaged, if you just act as yourself(although I know that can be fr...

Well, i felt like i had to hide it before so that possibly put more pressure on me when people saw that i did stutter. Now though, people already know i stutter from the start and theres no extra pres...

Would you say it's made you more comfortable than you were before? If so, why do you think this is?...

I used to avoid advertising it in the past but I've tried changing it up a bit for my senior year of high school. So far it's been making me fairly comfortable....

Do you "advertise" your stutter? Why or why not?

Do you "advertise" your stutter? Why or why not? The concept of "advertising" (being intentional about telling people you have a stutter) is something I've wanted to explore lately. People seem to hav...

IT worker here. I've had pretty severe cases of stuttering throughout most of my life. I still do it in various situations, and it varies from crippling to barely a flip on the radar. When I first ...

Stuttering is a physical process whose exact cause is unknown, although there are many known factors that contribute. Studies have shown us that people who stutter are "hardwired" differently for spee...

Here's what I do: distract myself from the roll call, but still listen for my name. When you hear your name just say HI! Here is a hard word for me to say too. But look forward to college, when you o...

I thought I would add my story. I've stuttered FOREVER. It used to be really bad and I hated to talk to anybody. My mom, brothers, aunts, uncles all knew I stuttered but I did not have enough confide...

I'm a stuttering child educator, and the kids surprisingly aren't mean about it. Kids tend to get bored if you get stuck for too long, so I break it with humour (make a funny face, mispronounce the w...

For me, making a complete pause with a deep breath works way better than going uhmm uhmm. If you laugh it off, people are much more understanding. I usually smile and say something like "sorry, brain...

I think nobody ever recovered from stutter. They just learn to handle it. If it is possible, there would be many people talking about it. (there are several, but mostly because of advertisment and som...

Well how about speech therapy? Plenty of people swear by it. It's my understanding however that people who stutter into adulthood are less likely to be stutter-free as you put it, without a noticeabl...

I was just like you right through my 20's. I wouldn't give up hope. Part of getting older is 'acceptance of facts'. It's strangely liberating....

Accepting stuttering isn't going to be easy at all for me. It's like having someone shove literal shit down your throat daily. Just the thought of enduring stuttering for the rest of my days makes me ...

Many ppl can't do that. I'm sure its plenty who have yet to accept it. But by 'defeat' it, I mean 'stopped stuttering altogether'. I wanna kno if there's anyone who 'has been stuttering for 24 yrs but...

Well it certainly wasn't easy I can tell you that. And it's a constant, ongoing thing that I have to work at daily. One thing that helped me greatly though was talking to people close to me (friends...

If by 'defeated' you mean 'accepted that it's part of who I am and have learned to live happily with it', then I'll raise my hand! :)...

I arranged a meeting with my teachers and counsellor and it made it feel so much better for me in class! The psychological part of stuttering can certainly be the worst part. Strongly recommend it! ...

I think just practicing it and choosing words you normally wouldn't stutter on would help. I always dreaded these forced introductions in front of the class. I probably stuttered each time, but after ...
