THE HARDEST THING ABOUT STUTTERING. It's Not Fun. 

I think the hardest thing for me rn is feeling like my stuttering is holding me back. I’m at that point in life where I want to find a job or a career. But it’s so hard when I have such trouble speaking

Keep spreading the awareness girl! Not enough people encounter those who stutter in their daily lives, so your spreading the awareness is super useful.

You are the only stutterer from You Tube that I feel comfortable listening to you, You stutter with such control, Great Job!

I respect you and you are brave. It's so cool to see how you motivate many people to communicate and make them feel comfortable. Cheers

its an everyday struggle for me as well. I have Good days, and then Bad days. But being genuine and intentional about what Im talking about really makes a difference

Thank you for sharing your Story, because I have a bad Stuttering Problem too.

The hardest for me is definitely losing the attention of the other person on what I'm saying as opposed to the way I'm saying it. Anybody with a stutter can perceive that someone is reacting to the stutter instead of the words that are spoken. The eyes go somewhere else, they feel uncomfortable to see you struggle and some even fight a laugh. I'm not blaming anyone that reacts this way, but for us trying to explain something or express an idea, it feels like your discourse is getting lost in the ineffectiveness of the vehicle trying to transmit it. It's like not being able to watch a movie because the resolution is too low or listening to a song because the sound quality is too bad. It's much easier for me to express myself in writing because of this. Thank god for text messages.

I want to thank you Minka! Ever since I discovered your videos I've been trying to not substitute words when I talk. I'm trying to just say what I want to say even if it means I'll stutter. I feel a little bit better about my stuttering and so again, thank you!

You have a lovely voice and it’s inspiring how brave you are to be so open about your stutter. I wish I could accept and embrace mine like you can!

Minka, these videos are gold. I cannot find the words to express how much I respect you for making these videos and finding the courage to talk about these issues.

Lee Lovett’s WSSA program and amazing books like, Stop Stuttering Short Course: How to Break the Stuttering Code will help immensely for those who diligently immerse themselves in the authors method. If someone like me who never thought he could speak fluently again can do it then anybody can. Patience, persistence, and perseverance will go a long way.

I too am a person that has a speech problem. I hate trying to talk to strangers. I get nervous, and its really hard to say what i want to say. And the more frustrated i get, the harder it is to talk. I always end up apologizing, and trying again. Sometimes i can say what i want. It just depends on who i'm talking to. But i watch your videos, and others, and it helps to know that i'm not the only one that has this problem to deal with on a daily basis. So, thank you very much, and i will keep watching and learning how to deal with this.

I stumbled across this video and it's great to see fellow stutters making videos and expressing themselves. I agree it's no fun and frustrating, especially when the fluent listener is looking away or is un-conformable when I'm in a middle of a block, which makes it even worse for me.

I respect you my friend. You're doing great job like encouraging who are having stuttering. I'm the one who is still suffering it, but I'm letting myself go on. Thankyou for doing good Vedios concerning many people who are stuttering

Great video! The hardest thing about stuttering, for me, was being called "stupid, broken, damaged, slow" etc.. for over 12 years. When you listen to this on a daily or even hourly basis, you tend to believe it. I always felt less than and spent my school years (K through 12) eating lunch in the janitor's closet, in the restroom or behind the school because no one wanted to hang around the kid who stuttered.

Thanks for this video, good to see im not alone. So im 15 and got stutteringproblems, in the last mounths i just talk nonsense to block the stuttering. It may helps me w the stuttering but people think that im weird too. I stopped talking much with my classmates especially girls bcs i just start stuttering or talking nonsene that nobody gets.

Long time Minka. Glad to see you're ok.

I can relate so much.

Hang in there. minka its not fun but The more you take your time and speak will be the better. And it helps to take a deep breath before you speak, if you feel like you're going to stutter.

I think for me is knowing I'm going to stutter before I even say a word. That's one thing I Need to work on not to think about stuttering before I even say a word.

You have improved a lot minka.. A remeber a video 2 years ago where you stuttered more frequently..

It's been 3 years minka. Your stuttering reduced since I last saw your video 3 years ago. I decided focusing on stuttering is not the right call for me because it makes me more nervous about my stuttering. My best move has been to talk more often to people and not take my stuttering too seriously. I even speak up in class, which is strange for someone like me. Anyways, I'd like to talk to you about stuttering if you have the time.

Hey Minka you have improved a lot. Your stuttering has decreased significantly. Try reading out loud some newspaper articles or books. Trust me it works.

Hi, Minka i have been watching your channel for a while. Just wanted to check up on you and see if everything's fine because you haven't uploaded in a while. As a person with a very mild anxiety-based stutter, thank you!

Stammering does suck but I think it's not really a big deal. I've decided that even if I stammer, I shall do so confidently.

My difficulty is I can't get my feelings across, the thing is when one uses techniques, one may sound fluent but a bit robotic at the same time, however when speaking naturally, I can look like I'm about to have a nervous breakdown at times but as for you Minka, you sound amazing, I can't see any tension on your face at all, is this how you speak normally?

For me it's definitely making calls and keeping in touch with friends and family, I suck terribly at that. I'm sure a lot of people think I don't care about them buts it's not the case.

Thank you for the inspiration and support your videos give me! The hardest part for me is my own anxiety and feelings of inferior when I stutter... Are English your first language? I am Swedish, and tend to stutter a lot less when I speak English... maybe I use another part of the brain, who knows? 😉 Anyway, thank you and god bless!

God bless you

You talk really fluently! I know that sometimes it depends on the day, one day is better than the other. Do you feel that Stamurai have helped you? I installed the app today and took the first lesson, looking forward with my progress with the help of the app.

The hardest thing is to do is commit communicate I had a stroke now I stutter I I can't help it I get laughed at a lot I tried dating but I found nobody they think it's funny somebody laugh a lot when you stutter is not funny it hurts when they laugh at you especially for people is supposed to love you it affected my voice and my ability to walk I fall down a lot and that's not funny it hurts and they make fun of you

Gurl i feel that oso hard

Noone will ever understand the hell we live in!

It's ridiculously frustrating, knowing exactly what you want to say in your head but it just NOT COMING OUT. I lose it at times, smash stuff, throw things, kick things, hit myself...beat myself up mentally.

People that know me usually listen through my struggle, but anyone who does not talks right over me as if I’m not there. So, I just stop talking.

I just started stuttering and a lot of my friends have been saying how "cute" or "cool" it is and it really annoys me because it's not easy and it can be a struggle and being in school I can't not talk and I'm very self conscious about it. It's not cool or cute it's hard and annoying and it isn't something that anyone should want to have or joke about.

I really want to start making videos like you have. People have asked me to be in thiers talking about different topics, but I always say no cuz I stutter. Was it hard to start filming yourself knoeing that you would stutter in them?

Are you going to make more videos soon?

😘😘😘😚😚🥂☀️ you are fantastic

The hardest thing is when I've said something but didn't mean to say. Like once I was trying to say "running around like a headless chicken" and I said "like headless sheep" But once it came out of my mouth I couldn't reverse it so I had to just laugh it off

I had a problem with stuttering but I treated it by saying two words and taking a deep breath after it and so daily I read for half an hour and thank God I overcame it

Sometimes I never had Sutter but sometimes Omg. I feel very low

you look so beautiful with that eyeliner 🥰🥰😍😍

It is always very nice to see you. You are beautiful and very nice and your videos are very helpful and interesting: Stay with us, please.

I hate when someone finishes my word for me

Why did you stopped the videos? 🤔

Cuh uh munah ee kay ay kating. If I tried to say communicating, it would sound something like that.

My hardest thing about stuttering is communication with strangers
