I would say it's in the middle as a person who stutter I don't like talking It get very frustrating and It wore me out but I still tend to open up and try instead of being all the mute yea it's a hard...

I clearly said *Toxic Positivity* when your life is in such crisis state and someone basically say stop making excuses ? If that's not Toxic then that's up to you, it's toxic for me. They have to cho...

There is also something called Toxic Positivity. Not all Stutterers are exact the same. I have Severe Blocks that really affects my life so I am not really making excuses. Their intentions is good bu...

I wish there was some weird experiment trial that people who stutter can do! More doctors need to look into this! It’s effecting my life and my career choices it’s so frustrating I’ve had enough of it...

You may want to reread my title post again. It kinda blows my mind that a spontaneous, slight irritation from a stuttering joke is shocking to you or something. Are you inferring that you NEVER get ir...

I feel you. I barely have a relationship with my dad because I can’t spit out a word to him. I’m currently staying at his house (I never used to) and I can see how frustrated he is at my stutter. He’s...

I’ve been in a similar place! When I was a teenager I used to pray I’d wake up mute or I told myself I’d become a monk who doesn’t speak. Your relationship with your speech *can* change very slowly ov...

Or they say “what?” After you finally get what you want to say out. I just say fuck it and leave at that point. Wasn’t meant to be lol...

in my adolescence it was a constant volley of laughs so I have grown resentful of anyone that reminds me of those times, irrespective of their intentions. I would much prefer someone to just shut the...

I have “good months” and “bad months” with my fluency. It’s like a roller coaster man, ups and downs, just gotta keep on keeping on and use the strategies that works for you. You probably know this ...

“you just have to relax and ask yourself what your scared of” No, it doesn’t work that way, at least not for me. I could be in the most euphoric state and still have a fluency problem. That’s one of ...

ok, I wasn’t trying to get these girls to like me. I was at their work asking them a question. Maybe you have a point. If these people laugh at me at my worst, then I have the right to laugh at the...

I’d say just know that talking is a big effort. Interrupting him or asking him to explain something that is ultimately irrelevant is really frustrating. I love my wife and she is amazing but this wa...

Rough day

Rough day Currently sitting in bed chain smoking and with the words of an old primary school teacher playing in my head on a loop “speak properly” over and over again. Thought i was somewhat over it b...

This attitude is most likely going to only hurt you by make your blocks worse. It’s only evil toward yourself. How do you actually know they felt bad for laughing about your stutter? They could hav...

Let me just state I hope you're experiencing a form of recency bias by saying, "I am over giving people chances. People are by and large, superficial and idiotic" When you for damn sure know that o...

Mate I'd highly recommend taking the approach of trying to tolerate the ignorant people. Not for their sake but for yours. You'll have a better life if you are less angry at a the world Most people ...

Imo, there's nothing wrong with speaking up for yourself (if you can) if people are mocking you and letting them know it's not okay, but letting your stutter make you into a "cynical asshole" seems li...

not in the slightest. I have played the docile guy for far too long and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere. I don’t go out of my way to be an asshole. It only manifests when a scenario like this takes place...

I will remain an asshole to those that see my stutter as a means of denigrating me. Even if they don’t understand what’s going on and they inadvertently irk me, I simply do not care - I’ll remain an a...
