I can totally relate. The worst is when other people, especially your own parents, think that if you just be “normal” or do things that “normal” people do, it’ll be fine. Well yeah, IF I DIDN’T have t...

In dating scene after a long time….a vent After breaking up with my long term girlfriend last year I guess I was ready to get back into dating. Lo and behold I tried bumble and the first genuine perso...

Same! I cringe inside when I listen to someone with a severe stutter. Mine is mild tot moderate now, but I remember how terrible it was when I was young. Cried myself to sleep almost every night back ...

Thank you for your kind words ( they mean much more than the words I typed for me at this stage ) Yes , that is the large part I struggle with i.e. having a pity on myself that I have to let go o...

I agree. Stuttering isn’t the problem, it’s the looks I get from people, it’s the laughs when I choke on my words, it’s the anxiety, it’s not being able to flirt. Stuttering itself doesn’t bother me a...

There is no DSM-5 in the Scriptures. It is according to your belief that your truth unravels. And Scripture can fill in the gaps. For example, one thing I can appreciate about stuttering is that it n...

I cringe when I meet people that stutter too. I feel their pain and their shame while it happens and I just feel too much… when I talk to normies I don’t have that empathy to worry about lol...

I met one once. A guy from a different department at work that I'd seen around but never spoken to. We were having a chat on the walk out and he was stuttering really badly. Way worse than mine was. ...

Does anyone here listen to their voice notes sometimes after sending it? My girlfriend listened to a voice note I sent her yesterday but couldn't make out some of it due to the wind blowing into the s...

Congratulations on considering a stutter a “ruined life” and thus being the immoral piece of crap you’ve made yourself into....

I've been there. Early in my high school senior year, I realized a lot. Mainly that I was massively depressed, and that I'd probably carry that with me for a while. I didn't really have anyone to turn...

Fair enough, I'd probably do the same. However, mine wasn't even a voice note, it was just a couple of snaps Back and forth before my self doubt crept in and I just completely ended contact with this ...
