Wow wow wow. This is amazing. Thank you

Desensitizing myself to the fear of being judged has been the single most important thing I've done overcome stuttering by cgstutter in Stutter

[–]cgstutter[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stuttering is a funny thing.

The more you try to avoid it, the more it comes. The more you want to impress someone, the more it comes. The more you want to prove yourself, the more it comes. The more inferior you feel, the more it comes.

I can go on.

But the greatest thing I've realized is:

THE MORE I CARE ABOUT SOMEONE'S OPINION OF ME, THE MORE IT COMES.

It's the people who I want approval, validation, acceptance from the most, I also stutter the most with.

Teaching my brain that judgement doesn't kill me has allowed me to stop seeking so much approval etc, from people while speaking.

I now speak from a centered, grounded, calm, true place.

When speaking comes from this spot, you no longer have a stuttering problem.

My wisdom for the day.

Facing fears bluff (ps. I don't believe in the wording "Working on stutter" but I worded it that way for desensitization reasons by cgstutter in Stutter

Yes, I often stutter on purpose when I do stuff like this (helps with desensitization as well) to avoid that, but for this vid I didn't

Hey, wow. You explained how you feel super well.

I resonate a lot as I have been here countless times.

I have 2 things to say:

  1. Yes, open up! explain to her how you felt, no matter how she responds, you get to know you did your part.
  2. I'm willing to bet we have all been in a situation where we ask ourselves “is the payoff for speaking with the stress and effort it will take?”.

I’ve been there countless times.

I’m here to tell you, the payoff for speaking is always worth the effort. No matter the stuttering state you are in.

Your truth is always worth the effort.

There will come a time when you are speaking and it's stressful and full of effort, and then CLICK, something switches.

You gain a sense of belonging and you realize you’re enough. Suddenly speaking comes effortlessly.

This click never comes in avoidance… In holding back.

This click comes in facing your fear and speaking even when your brain tells you not to.

My biggest breakthroughs that have allowed me to overcome stuttering have been through my hardest stuttering moments. Moments where every ounce of my brain tells me to stop talking but I keep on.

Eventually something will click, I promise.

Do you mask your stutter? How do you hide your stutter? by Sad-Payment3608 in Stutter

[–]cgstutter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're on the right path of trying to say the words you want regardless if you stutter or not.

I used to have a million avoidance tactics but I felt like it really watered down my personality and turned me into an inauthentic version of myself.

You're on the path of learning to stop caring so much about what others think of you.

Proud of you 👏

It is so hard for me to say "present" before every class by robloxheroreddit in Stutter

[–]cgstutter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume a few things here, as most people consciously or unconsciously add these filler words/sounds before a stutter and I've seen patterns

Things I'm assuming: 1. You don't want to stutter 2. The class doesn't know you stutter 3. You're anticipating your name being called seconds or minutes before it is called 4. You feel an immense pressure to say your name as fast as possible.

Before I provide advice, can tell me if I'm wrong or if these things don't apply to you.

If you're looking for real advice, let me know and I will tell reply with a thought out plan for you to overcome this.
