That was a touching story. I'm also currently struggling in the process in accepting that I stutter. One insight that a friend of mine suggested is to think not myself as a stutter, but as a person wh...

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...

I pretty much accepted that this is gonna be an issue for the rest of my life. There are no quick fixes, or 'cures'. I don't particularly like it, however. So I still try to make my speech work to m...

That's great that you get it to work out, but you still seem to think it's "wrong" when you do stutter. It's certainly okay if you get stuck frequently or infrequently, because that's our lives and we...

I'm afraid it's mostly negative things; at least those are the things we focus on the most, anyways? One word to sum up the negative influence my stutter has on me: limitation. Every single day there...

I really have to agree with you, the avoiding something because of it makes it so much worse. I think part of the reason mine has improved with age is that I'm less anxious about all these situations....

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. ...

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...

This is great advice, thank you. When I block, all I can think of is the word / sound I'm stuck on - I try to hit it faster, like an obstacle to jump over and that just makes it worse. Tomorrow (it's...

Thanks. And it's amazing that you accomplished that. I don't really care about being "fluent" anymore; I realized that what I really wanted is to not feel miserable every time I verbalize something, e...

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...

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...

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...

From what I've heard/read it's pretty common for a person who stutters to sing fluently. I seem to remember learning something about how your brain does something different when you sing rather than s...

I really don't know, I always liked music and have been singing (by myself, like when I listen to music) my whole life, I've stuttered since I was 4-5 years old. There's also alot of famous muscicians...

The world abounds with idiots, man. Gotta learn to ignore them. :( Easier said than done though, I admit. It's hard not to feel ashamed. I am generally very confident, and never shy away from any si...
