As one who was given a disabilty at a young age. It always made me happy when someone said "I didn't even notice.". Keep trying, hold your head high and we will NOT notice.

Whenever i am singing a song, talking to myself, reading i am fluent completely even while presenting something i don't stutter. Have anyone done stuttering therapy?

I just thought everybody who stammers could choose at least one speaking situation they would normally avoid and go for it, be it asking for directions, buying a ticket, making/ answering a telephone call, etc. I’ve set up a facebook group and am trying to encourage people who stammer everywhere to join in and tell us how it went. Hopefully it will increase people’s confidence and get them to challenge their fears and negative thoughts. Here’s the link to the group: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=111165478898300 I would be very grateful indeed if you could maybe write something about it in your blog, and hopefully join in yourself. Thank you very much for your time. Steven Hello

That was a really great post. All through middle school and high school and even now in college I am letting my stutter take control. I am afraid to ask qurstions, like specific questions. I tend to stutter most on specific information or just saying something freely without thinking about it before hand. I was so afraid to read outloud senior year of HS in my banking class that I would just accept the 0 on the reading assignments. I hated that so much because I wanted nothing more than to read, I actually wnated to idk something inside me felt like I couldn't. :) HEY Dmitriy, You probably remember from twitter:) Maybe?

]]> Comment on True Life: I Stutter – My Wrap Up by chris http://thestutteringblog.com/2007/11/04/true-life-i-stutter-my-wrap-up/comment-page-1/#comment-1944 chris Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:22:36 +0000 http://dimka.wordpress.com/2007/11/04/true-life-i-stutter-my-wrap-up/#comment-1944 I'm watching the True Life episode on stuttering right now. I'm 27, from South Jersey and have stuttered since I learned how to talk. I went to therapy all through school, traveled to meet the top speech patholigists and even got the "miracle" thing you put in your ear ("Speech-Easy" I think it's called - it seems to help, though only in quiet places). My parents and my older brother always tried to make me realize that I'm not that different from everyone else. They taught me to accept my disability but, at the same time, not to stand for disrespect. I fought a lot (both mentally and physically) but, I was well liked/popular with most people/girls/teachers/principals. The ignorant people take notice when you're confident and you stand up for yourself. Lately though, I seemed to have lost my confidence. Being 27 and on my own, I have to do a lot more things for myself (important phone calls especially). I dated/lived with a girlfriend since high school (for @ 7 years total) and she handled most of the big stuff for me. Well, she passed away 2 years ago and, while trying to move on, I learned that the confidence I had in high school is gone. I don't mind getting shot down but, getting hung up on (by potential dates roommates/whoever answers her phone) is something I'll never be OK with. I'm still struggling but, I'll keep cracking away at it. Shows like this True Life are great ways to curb the ignorance. There needs to be more like it! Thanx to everyone involved! P.S. Out of all the stutterers I've met, I'd guess 95% of them were males. I can't recall ever meeting a female stutterer outside of a speech pathology clinic..... Jessica, call me! :) I’m watching the True Life episode on stuttering right now. I’m 27, from South Jersey and have stuttered since I learned how to talk.
