I know it is a kind of disability. But crippling? :O . Oh, and this "disability" occurs 1 in 100. So not so uncommon. I have met maybe 50 stutterers in my life....

Worst post ever lol. ...

I find it funny and I stutter. Because I know this page is moderated by stutterers and the intent is not to hurt feelings. ...

1. We are not freaks, and that's kind of a shitty thing to post here. When you put yourself down because of your stutter, you're putting all of us down, too. Please stop. 2. An estimated 1 in 100 adul...

Listening to my brother use "um" and "like" crutches, I now prefer my stutter to his quick 'cure'.

Listening to my brother use "um" and "like" crutches, I now prefer my stutter to his quick 'cure'. My stutter is hereditary. My brothers both stutter and my dad stuttered, his dad stuttered, so on and...

Stuttering is very rare. We are FREAKS.

Fair enough! :)...

We can agree to disagree....

>What is the thing that caused this? Stuttering. And how do you know this? How do you know it wasn't something inherent in you--just as much as your disfluency--that was triggered by your stutter?...

I somewhat agree with you. I think stuttering is both physical and psychological, and it varies on an individual basis. For example, for some people, the physical part is much more harder to override ...

But excepting the fact you have it does help....

Yes. If it wasn't a dis-fluency issue it could be something else. But playing the games of what ifs doesn't do anything. Also, I injected some of my own personal experiences...I didn't say it applies ...

It wasn't mild all the time. I've had my days where I couldn't speak at all. Ignoring it does help. Why would you keep trying to think about it? For me it would just make it worse. But at the end it's...

Sorry, but I just disagree and can't relate to that. Suicidal thoughts are not caused by stuttering. All the things you listed--bullying, lack of support, dismissive parenting--these have nothing to a...

Your stuttering is mild enough that you are able to hide it in your basement. For many of us that isn't possible. edit: > YOU SHOULD WANT/NEED to talk to someone. This got me thinking. I don't ...

I wasn't bullied in school (I got really lucky/fought people) but there have been tons of stutterers that have. Constant bullying like that at a young age can have lasting affects on people throughout...

To be honest, I think about it all the time. I wouldn't do it because of my family. It would utterly destroy them if I killed myself. It's not the whole "you have your whole future ahead of you" type ...

Stuttering isn't something self inflicted. Ignoring it won't make it go away. It usually makes it worse because you're trying to pretend this very real thing isn't there or affecting you....

Yes... It's part small of why I've tried. I failed. And who knows what happens after death, there might be reincarnation or some crap....
