Both parents stutter, plus dad has neurotic ticks. Problem was not that they did stutter, problem is they are highly nervous and self-conscious about it/me growing up dealing with that. They ignored ...

I swear, I've been really affected by what they've said of my stuttering mainly. My grandparents do the same, they tell me to just "stop doing it because it's easy" and then they imitate my stuttering...

At the same exact position as you right now. I don’t really see myself getting a job anytime soon. Speech therapy doesn’t help, and I’m only two years away from being an adult. I can’t even say my nam...

My mother once told me to just ‘talk normal’ and I’ll never forget it. So many people just simply don’t get it? Even the ones closest to us, and they also don’t realize (hopefully unintentionally) tha...

Yes, in some things I am. My speech being imperfect and my weight constantly oppresses me. My home is very orderly. Some friends claim I'm OCD, but my striving for perfection is selective. My speech,...
