Let's just admire the fact that this young lady is more eloquent with her stutter, in a second language, than many native English speakers. What a star!
Well my stutter is pretty complex cuz I don't stutter a lot sometimes fluent like normal when I speak in English but my stuttering goes crazy when I speak in my native language Hindi.
I stutter and I was on summer camp and some kid told me: I love talking with you, sometimes I don't pay too much attention to what other people are saying or just don't understand some words, with you I don't have such problems cause I know you will repeat it a few times. I still laugh when I remember it.
Lol! Good to be able to laugh at moments like that. As someone with an info processing disorder, I think it would be nice to talk to someone with a stutter. It would give me plenty of time to process what they’re saying lol!
Lol thats such a nice way to look at it, I have a stutter as well, I wasn't bullied hardly at all through my 26 years I just got people getting very uncomfortable when I did stutter which obviously makes me anxious. Got to play the cards we were dealt though. I'm glad theres humans out there that can bring a comedic genuine nice reaction to stutters
Is stuttering purely a motor issue or is it more than that? for example: when I read in my head I actually read it to myself like an invisible voice reading it to me - this is quite a common way of reading silently. Do people who stutter, stutter when reading in their head like this? where does the stutter originate from?
Me too! I have a stutter and it’s the worse experience and in my opinion it does affect my life a little. I’m just crying because I had to write a speech and read it infront of my whole school and I stutter all the time 😭😭
@@popit1500 It’s tomorrow and I’m very anxious and nervous 😭;-; I called my sister bc she’s the only one who helps me with my stutter and she helped me a lot 👏✨
@@kristen0009 No, no, no. Stuttering inhibits your ORAL communication, it has nothing to do with conceptualizing words or how to express yourself. Stutterers know EXACTLY what they're going to say, they just struggle with saying it out loud.
This illustrates how strenuous stuttering is. The anxiety inducing moments are irritating and isolating. You do learn to embrace it eventually. But inevitably it's easy to revert back to being extremely introverted. Her attitude and tenacity is admirable. You have a lot of fortitude...bravo 👍
10 years ago I had a mathematic teacher who stutters a bit. I was very very admirative of his tenacity. He had always wanted to teach to others, and he managed to realise his dream. He is very passionate by his work and feels concerned by students' difficulties. That's why he is one of the best teachers I had in my life ! :)
Here in the Philippines if they see symptoms of Social Anxiety and Stuterring..They will Judge you as Drug Addict. Wish I could have this kind of interview and spread awareness in my country..We're very Ignorant in Mental Health
I feel so bad for people who are like that in the Philippines. I’m glad I don’t live there especially since if I did it would not be good for me. I have social anxiety and ADHD so talking to people or interacting with people in general is hard for me to do so I would definitely have problems if I live there. I hope that anyone who lives there and is struggling because people think they’re a drug addict for whatever reason it is will eventually get help somehow.
Willemijn looks like an amazing friend to have! So happy that she can overcome her anxiety, she is very brave and mature for that. Her willing to live happy no matter what is amazing. ♡
Your absolutely gorgeous with your stutter. The people who don't except you just the way you are, they DON'T deserve you. Your a beautiful person, and I love your accent, keep your head up hun.
I admire her courage so much. I also go through phases of not stuttering at all and then suddenly it happens in every sentence. I can usually tell which word I'm going to stutter on, so I often try to find a synonym but it's not always possible. Stuttering makes me feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed. I truly admire the fact that she just pushes through with life and doesn't let it get in her way. Very inspiring!
@@edisonmartinez1286 For me personally, it was reading books, like a lot (and not out loud)! And if I do not read books for a long time (like a year or so) stuttering comes back. It already did come back like 3 or 4 times, because I've been dropping reading all the time. p.s sorry for bad english
Willemijn is so strong and I love how she uses her art to give a platform to people who have a stutter. Continue doing what you do and Im glad I got to know you!
Hoi Willemijn, wat moedig om zo je verhaal te vertellen. Nu kunnen we eindelijk wat onder je video schrijven. Ik heb je aflevering gezien toen het net online kwam. Het heeft veel indruk gemaakt, dus ik wilde meteen even van de gelegenheid gebruik maken om hier wat te schrijven. Je bent een fantastische jonge vrouw en laat niemand je iets anders wijs maken. Ik wens je veel kracht toe om om te gaan met ongeduldige mensen, zoals ik eerlijk gezegt ook wel eens ben. Je straalt enthousiast en hebt ons allemaal veel geleerd. Dank je wel.
Thank you so much. This is one of the most important videos I have watched on stuttering/stammering Previously, the message has been that success can come when you cure your stutter. It should be that success can be achieved with a stutter. This young lady is a star 🌟
You said so many things i can relate to, i am stuttering myself. This was really encouraging to me because i think many people who is listening to me is feeling the same joy that i feel when i hear you talking. Keep being yourself and good luck with the art!
I have always suffered from a slight stutter but have gone through life hiding it and avoiding words ( covert stammerer). I am grateful to have met you through this video and have often thought it would be good for Chris to interview a stutterer as there is never enough out there to bring attention and understanding to the condition. Stutter aside you have a lot of articulate speech and have a wonderful personality. Xxx
Very brave girl cause this is a tough one to deal with. The world as a whole is so " hurry up..no patience..get out of the way if you're moving slow" mentality.
This inspires me so much, I’m 18 years old and I stutter and I’ve been bullied so much for it and I’m so glad to have people who also deal with a speech impediment❤
Im 31 years old, and i have stuttered my whole life. There are times when the stuttering is mild, and there are times when it's very severe. It has affected me in many ways, but it had the most impact in my professional career and my relationships with many people. It is just very hard to communicate, and i can't blame them if they do not have the patience to listen. But i got used to those things e.g. when a person im talking to suddenly ignores me and turn their back when im still speaking, when a person would repeatedly ask to the other person in the room what did i say, or when people say things that hurt. If you're reading this, know that you're not alone, and don't ever feel bad. I have actually failed tests, dropped courses in college, failed job interviews and other opportunities. But after i have been diagnpsed with a really bad health situation, i have come to realize there are many other problems worse than stuttering.. and it is best to appreciate and be grateful that at least we are now alive. Being able to breathe at this very moment is enough to say you are still blessed, and you can always choose to be happy.
My Dad used to stutter. Especially, with his last name and a few other areas. He had joined a professional speaking club in the U.S., this group helped him a lot. Unfortunately, he started reverting back to not talking well. He passed shortly after that time. I have two kids who have speech issues. I think this young woman is doing a great job of working with her stuttering!
Beautiful warm soul that’s all I see with a big heart you’re doing a great job and you are very strong and brave. Thank you for sharing your story and feelings with the world 😇🌺❤️
I gotta say, stutters have never outright bugged me. I got patience, and what you have to say is more important than the time I tale to hear it. The most valuable thing in existence is a perspective, so take the time you need, Miss. What you say when you can is more valuable than gold, at least to this old hermit.
To be honest I have stutter too but sometimes I can talk fluently for a whole hour, just watching this inspires me to not get anxiety all the time when im talking to people.
i've always known that i wasn't alone, but me and my brother were the only ones that i've ever known that had stutters. seeing someone all the way from the netherlands who has the same struggles as me, and also creates things that i can share with others to show what it's like to have a stutter, it's amazing. i've always struggled with speech, and recently started to become afraid of conversations because i don't want to ruin them by stopping in the middle of it to try and get a word out. but i'm actively trying my hardest to become social and not worry about if i start stuttering or not. it's a process, but it's a process i want to be on. thank you for sharing this, stuttering should be shown to others so people know how to be respectful to those with it ❤❤❤
Seeing someone else with a stutter just makes me feel a lot better about myself because I stutter and people make fun of it, but seeing someone stutter just as much as I do makes me feel like I'm not alone
One of the worst things about stuttering is when people look disinterested in your opinion because they know you stutter. Even some of my family members dont value my opinion.
I feel that! I stutter the most around family members. They always made me feel I should just shut up, and some of them made fun of me or mocked me up making me feel uncomfortable and start to want to talk less and less and I became a much quieter person because of that. I am from Brazil and I stutter much more in Portuguese versus when I speak English.
I’m 26-years-old fresh university grad. With immaculate credentials, however naturally struggling to overcome the interview stage due to my moderate-to-severe stammering. Let me share my conclusions through years of therapy, years of working with my psyche and years of failure, embarrassment and (speaking) anxiety - that stuttering is our curse for perfection. Only when we reach our perfect-self, that is, through vigorous exercise routine, balanced diet, strict sleeping schedule and discipline in every area that we can moderate the dysfluency. The closer we are to “perfection”, the more confidence we gain and the less stammering is present. Last but not least, before any job interview I would read aloud for 5-10mins to exercise and relax my jaw/lip/tongue muscles. This routine can be implemented daily and does help both physically and psychologically, because stuttering is a combination of both.
Thank you for the great video. I have a stutter and social anxiety too. I study english now and want to become speaking english with native speakers. I'm Japanese so english is very completely different language so i'm struggling. I had several times to talke with Americans and British but most of the time it didn't go well and very awkward. My stutter is very light but my SA is severe. But seeing you speak english and talk about yourself confidentity makes me motivated! I almost cried bc how similar we are. Thank you so much.
Ah, she's amazing! One trick you can do to stop the stutter from coming is changing that difficult word with a synonym, or making pauses and not trying to pronounce that word, or speaking fast, or imagining that difficult word in your head, too. These tips really work for me! 😅😉
When the man says "Is there a happy medium, or a balance to helping a person become more fluent while not damaging their self-confidence." Yes, and both of my speech teachers are examples. One, I go to during school and is super kind and supportive. She shows me the techniques, and we just chat or play a game for 15 minutes. The other, I go to after school. She is much stricter, interupts me a lot to tell me what to fix, and once said it was good for my voice to sound more "normal". Some speech teachers just make stutterers pay to "fix them".
The worst thing about stuttering is when I know that it will happen before it happens. I'd like to know if other stuttering people experience that. What I do is that I try to say another word instead, which presents a lesser pronunciation problem . Then I'm upset that I wanted to say something else, but I saw a stutter coming, so changed the wording last minute.
I do it with serious topics so I end up repeating the same statement 4 or 5 times different ways, or just stop and get super frustrated for a few seconds 😅
I do the same thing. Sometimes those alternate words might not mean the exact same thing im trying to convey. I worry some people judge my intelligence and they blow me off before i finish speaking so they can say what they want to say. So i just keep quiet most of the time. I've gotten better at speaking but my social awkwardness is still present. throwing a curse word in so it will break the cycle is my go to if i utilized every once of energy to say the word
I have multiple word, whole word, and insertion stutters and sometimes I get frustrated when I can't complete a sentence, but I have an awesome brother who encourages me to speak my mind
Living with a stutter and social anxiety is tough. I also have autism, which makes me so far away from the social life I want. I'm isolated at home with a severe social anxiety that I've had for 10+ years since I was around 16-17 together with a depression and life is so boring. Going alone to the grocery store feels death threatening, I hesitate and almost never dare to even send text messages to my internet friend and so much of the regular everyday stuff are gone. Anyway all I can say is that support you and what you did is inspiring.
My heart goes out to you. You are loved and worth it no matter what struggles you face. Hope you feel better and never give up 💗 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” 1 Peter 5:7
I have been stuttered my whole life…theoretically due to an accident that I almost died when I was born. I used to be like this girl… no one listened to me, no one cared what I wanted to say. I had zero self confidence, they used my stuttering against me. I have developed a method to decrease it, and now i am an extroverted social person who enjoys being in the center.
I also have a stutter. There are several letters that trigger stuttering. In my case the letters "A, T, P" at the beginning of the word. If these symptoms appear, I usually replace them with words that are easy to pronounce
It really helps if you are this beautiful. The fear of stuttering is the main cause of stuttering. with age comes confidence or not being as self conscious.
Also, as a note from a linguist... I imagine being Dutch, English is not your native tongue, so it's impressive you had the courage to speak it here with a stutter, given the unfair confidence debuff you can develop from stuttering. Many kudos!
I was a welder for many years and I breathed a lot of heavy metals welding smoke. Nickel, Manganese, cobalt etc.. Back when I did hard plate Tig welding, (hard surfacing of internal safe components). It eventually started effecting my fine motor skills. I began having trouble picking up coins with my fingers, also my speech became slurred, I had a mild random stutter and sometimes had to really concentrate on forming my mouth and tongue in order to sound out some words. Mostly words that started with, or had R, W or M in them. It was really frustrating because it's like my mouth and tongue just refused to cooperate with my brain and wouldnt operate correctly at certain times. It was due to improper ventilation, inadequate smoke removal system. I quit the job and my issue slowly, gradually went away for the most part. Not totally, but mostly. It was almost like getting regularly fumed in a closed car with the exhaust hose ran in through the window. It wasn't uncommon for a welder to fall asleep at his station while welding and accidentally touch his tungsten electrode to his welding tube ("rod"). Which would sometimes blow you back in the chair and slam you against the wall behind you. Just from the sudden electrical shock. We used to joke about it. But now days it makes me think of the Townes Van Zandt song "Lungs."
I stutter sometimes when my anxiety is really bad. My daughter does the same. It throws people off because it doesn't happen very often but when it does its very noticeable. My brother in law also stutters. His is more regular and happens more often. I think this young lady is doing such a great job and is such a beautiful person.
im 35 and im a PhD student wh stutters.... i had come to a point of self acceptance until a few weeks ago when my supervisor told me i needed to go for speech therapy or i wouldnt get through my preliminary defence.
Thank you for this x I have a stammer too and have had lessons and exercises to help but it's still embarrassing... Reading in front of the class is especially hard for me x
I stutter too. I think it's because i have anxiety. And I'm very shy too. Is there a way to manage stutter, because my friends get impatient with me when i stutter. So should i like use single words to communicate more?
Own your stutter. It’s not a bad thing😌 if your friends are getting inpatient then you don’t need them in your life. Remember your happiness is what matters
I used to be stutterer too. Then I try speaking while holding my breath. With a lot of practices, I can talk normally now. But i stutter a lot if I'm too excited.
I stuttered a lot in my childhood. I don't know in English but in my country there is a doctor called Logoped, (speech therapist) who basicly teaches you to slowly speak that you dont stutter. I reccomend that you see a speech therapist to help with your stuttering
Let's just admire the fact that this young lady is more eloquent with her stutter, in a second language, than many native English speakers. What a star!
I wonder how other languages effect stutters, if at all. Considering she's Dutch she could speak anywhere from two to like six languages.
@@Spoon80085 I speak 2,5 languages, and stutter the most in English ;)

Only when we reach our perfect-self, that is, through vigorous exercise routine, balanced diet, strict sleeping schedule and discipline in every area that we can moderate the dysfluency. The closer we are to “perfection”, the more confidence we gain and the less stammering is present. Last but not least, before any job interview I would read aloud for 5-10mins to exercise and relax my jaw/lip/tongue muscles. This routine can be implemented daily and does help both physically and psychologically, because stuttering is a combination of both.
thanks hades
Thank you for the great video. I have a stutter and social anxiety too. I study english now and want to become speaking english with native speakers. I'm Japanese so english is very completely different language so i'm struggling. I had several times to talke with Americans and British but most of the time it didn't go well and very awkward. My stutter is very light but my SA is severe. But seeing you speak english and talk about yourself confidentity makes me motivated! I almost cried bc how similar we are. Thank you so much.
Ah, she's amazing! One trick you can do to stop the stutter from coming is changing that difficult word with a synonym, or making pauses and not trying to pronounce that word, or speaking fast, or imagining that difficult word in your head, too. These tips really work for me! 😅😉

When the man says "Is there a happy medium, or a balance to helping a person become more fluent while not damaging their self-confidence." Yes, and both of my speech teachers are examples. One, I go to during school and is super kind and supportive. She shows me the techniques, and we just chat or play a game for 15 minutes. The other, I go to after school. She is much stricter, interupts me a lot to tell me what to fix, and once said it was good for my voice to sound more "normal". Some speech teachers just make stutterers pay to "fix them".
My best friend in high school had a stutter. He was awesome and so are you.
That comic at the end that she made about the interview is so cute!
The worst thing about stuttering is when I know that it will happen before it happens. I'd like to know if other stuttering people experience that. What I do is that I try to say another word instead, which presents a lesser pronunciation problem . Then I'm upset that I wanted to say something else, but I saw a stutter coming, so changed the wording last minute.
YES, it’s like a roadblock is coming and I take a turn last minute
I do it with serious topics so I end up repeating the same statement 4 or 5 times different ways, or just stop and get super frustrated for a few seconds 😅
I do the same thing. Sometimes those alternate words might not mean the exact same thing im trying to convey. I worry some people judge my intelligence and they blow me off before i finish speaking so they can say what they want to say. So i just keep quiet most of the time. I've gotten better at speaking but my social awkwardness is still present. throwing a curse word in so it will break the cycle is my go to if i utilized every once of energy to say the word
@@shortviking89 i feel like im reading about myself man
Yep I do that to, a very strong feeling of trepidation. Albeit horribly misled seeing it truly becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
I have multiple word, whole word, and insertion stutters and sometimes I get frustrated when I can't complete a sentence, but I have an awesome brother who encourages me to speak my mind
She seems so nice❤ I hope everything goes well for her
She is so precious
Men I don't stutter, but i feel their struggles by just hearing them... Keep strong
Her comic at the end is so sweet!
as a person who also stutters and face the same issues she does, i really appreciate this video so thanks for posting
The comic in the end is really good 🤣🤣🤣
I wish this girl all the happiness in her life! 😍♥️
You are doing a really good job speaking another language with stutter. Sounds a lot better than many people without stutter.
Living with a stutter and social anxiety is tough. I also have autism, which makes me so far away from the social life I want. I'm isolated at home with a severe social anxiety that I've had for 10+ years since I was around 16-17 together with a depression and life is so boring. Going alone to the grocery store feels death threatening, I hesitate and almost never dare to even send text messages to my internet friend and so much of the regular everyday stuff are gone.
Anyway all I can say is that support you and what you did is inspiring.
I have a stutter and anxiety too, you're not alone and I truly hope you feel better soon 💗
you're not alone! keep your head up high, i believe in you! :D
My heart goes out to you. You are loved and worth it no matter what struggles you face. Hope you feel better and never give up 💗

Im also struggling but i have to Praise this lady 🙏
I have a friend at school with a stutter and people will get impatient and I really just want to scream at them
So much love to this beautiful soul!💛
Hats off my sister
I'm also stutter
I can feel it's pain 😢
More videos please! So inspiring! 🙏
Much love for Willemijn
I have been stuttered my whole life…theoretically due to an accident that I almost died when I was born. I used to be like this girl… no one listened to me, no one cared what I wanted to say. I had zero self confidence, they used my stuttering against me. I have developed a method to decrease it, and now i am an extroverted social person who enjoys being in the center.
How did you achieve that?
She's got more courage than I do, keep kicking butt💪
I also have a stutter. There are several letters that trigger stuttering. In my case the letters "A, T, P" at the beginning of the word. If these symptoms appear, I usually replace them with words that are easy to pronounce
Stutterer here, she gives me hope. This is a champion!
It really helps if you are this beautiful. The fear of stuttering is the main cause of stuttering. with age comes confidence or not being as self conscious.
Also, as a note from a linguist... I imagine being Dutch, English is not your native tongue, so it's impressive you had the courage to speak it here with a stutter, given the unfair confidence debuff you can develop from stuttering. Many kudos!
Hi everyone: It's so nice to see you all again on RUclips. I want to meet you all one day. Take care and stay safe.
I was a welder for many years and I breathed a lot of heavy metals welding smoke. Nickel, Manganese, cobalt etc.. Back when I did hard plate Tig welding, (hard surfacing of internal safe components). It eventually started effecting my fine motor skills. I began having trouble picking up coins with my fingers, also my speech became slurred, I had a mild random stutter and sometimes had to really concentrate on forming my mouth and tongue in order to sound out some words. Mostly words that started with, or had R, W or M in them. It was really frustrating because it's like my mouth and tongue just refused to cooperate with my brain and wouldnt operate correctly at certain times. It was due to improper ventilation, inadequate smoke removal system. I quit the job and my issue slowly, gradually went away for the most part. Not totally, but mostly. It was almost like getting regularly fumed in a closed car with the exhaust hose ran in through the window. It wasn't uncommon for a welder to fall asleep at his station while welding and accidentally touch his tungsten electrode to his welding tube ("rod"). Which would sometimes blow you back in the chair and slam you against the wall behind you. Just from the sudden electrical shock. We used to joke about it. But now days it makes me think of the Townes Van Zandt song "Lungs."

I don't even know how to respond, just, I feel bad for you, and keep going
I stutter sometimes when my anxiety is really bad. My daughter does the same. It throws people off because it doesn't happen very often but when it does its very noticeable. My brother in law also stutters. His is more regular and happens more often. I think this young lady is doing such a great job and is such a beautiful person.
My sisters make fun of me because I stutter and they think something is wrong with me and I tell them I can’t help it
im 35 and im a PhD student wh stutters.... i had come to a point of self acceptance until a few weeks ago when my supervisor told me i needed to go for speech therapy or i wouldnt get through my preliminary defence.
SHE'S SO PRETTY I CAN'T-
the fact that she looks like a very handsome person completly desintegrates the stutter
What an amazing woman, I am so impressed
I would like to send this video to the people who told me all I need to do is relax and chill
Thank you for this x I have a stammer too and have had lessons and exercises to help but it's still embarrassing... Reading in front of the class is especially hard for me x
I stutter too. I think it's because i have anxiety. And I'm very shy too. Is there a way to manage stutter, because my friends get impatient with me when i stutter. So should i like use single words to communicate more?
No no no. Do whole sentences. Say what you want to say. Get better friends instead
My friend in middleschool was stuttering too but i didnt mind cause after a while I totally got used to it
Own your stutter. It’s not a bad thing😌 if your friends are getting inpatient then you don’t need them in your life. Remember your happiness is what matters
I used to be stutterer too. Then I try speaking while holding my breath. With a lot of practices, I can talk normally now. But i stutter a lot if I'm too excited.
I stuttered a lot in my childhood. I don't know in English but in my country there is a doctor called Logoped, (speech therapist) who basicly teaches you to slowly speak that you dont stutter. I reccomend that you see a speech therapist to help with your stuttering
10:04 "what else do you do besides stuttering"
bruh💀
Ur are so Brave....❤❤❤
I’ve had this issue when i was younger I’m grown now & with help & practice i don’t stutter unless i’m really excited/upset
