Talking down about yourself, nothing but negative posts. I just joined this sub Reddit. I came in thinking that this would be a strong community of people who stutter. that support each other and come out with success stories to boost up each other’s morale. but after a couple days of interacting, I found really nothing but sadness and sob stories. I’ve been stuttering ever since I could talk. I’m 28 years old now and it hasn’t got that much better and yes, it has held me back from many opportunities in life, but it has also made my wins that much more successful the only advice I could give to someone that isn’t as confident is to be proud of who you are and your stutter because the majority of us are going to be stuck with it for the rest of our lives. Remember people who talk fluently are the weird ones we aren’t.
