I feel much the same way. It's hard. But you just gotta keep going because of it. I hate my stutter. I hate it with every fiber of my being. I don't think it's cute. I don't think it's something that ...

I’d love to say just do it and you’ll get better, but man that’s usually not the case for us. I find myself using words in my sentence structures that sometimes just make me sound so stupid lol. But i...

As a full time stutterer, I LOVE streaming on twitch and making YouTube videos. At first it was just YouTube, because I could try and edit out my stutter. But after a while I went ahead and tried twi...

Yeah, that's pretty much the same for me. I never really talk about my stutter with my friends. Even strangers I am forced to speak to (like waiters), they seem to understand pretty much (even if ther...
