Please do not post on this sub about how people who stutter are losers Now I just want to start out by saying that I think it's completely fine to vent on this sub about your experiences. What I think is not fine is to post about people who stutter in general and how you think no one who stutters will ever have a fulfilling life. I see a lot of posts on this sub from people who seem to be trying to vent about stuttering, but there post talks about people who stutter in general rather than their personal expense. For example, I've seen posts on here about how no one will ever want to be friends with or date people who have a severe stutter, and that if you do have a severe stutter you are pretty much doomed in life. These kinds of posts make me not want to be on this sub and feel very defeated because it is not fun to go to a support group and see posts about how people think that you will always be a loser in life. It's fine to talk about your own experiences and how you feel, but do not make your venting posts about all stutterers in general.
