A lot of people mention things like anxiety or fear, but I would argue it's how unpredictable it is, I see that as the root cause of everything else. Imagine for a second you would know that you alwa...

This happens to me a lot. People simply don’t understand we have bad days, and we can have very fluent days. Do you ever stutter REALLY bad around one specific person? Can you please try to redeem you...

I know exactly how you feel. I’m 98% fluent and I’m considered as a non-stutterer…until I have a small random breakthrough. Even we who are very fluent know we are still stutterers. I can never lose t...

It depends on how severe it is. I've been told it's cute. Other times they wondered if I was scared of people. The only difference was that for the former I had no blacks and only repeated some sounds...

I think it depends on the severity. If you sometimes repeat sounds I don't think so. Most people would just see it as the way you speak. If you legit have trouble expressing yourself, then yes because...

Worst part of having a stutter?

Worst part of having a stutter? For me it would be the fact it’ll never go away. For SOME insecurities, you can hide them or fix them. Insecure about your weight? Hit the gym. Insecure about your acne...

Probably because they do not understand what a stuttering is and only think about it as of some sort of complete brain damage that makes you completely dysfunctional. If they keep doing it despite t...

I think it depends on the person. The past year, mine has gotten worse. With that said, it has been a rough year mentally, but even on my stress free days, it's still worse. Again, I think it depends ...

Does a stutter usually get better with age? And if yes, why/how?

Is the severity of a stutter (also) mostly genetic?

Is the severity of a stutter (also) mostly genetic? Having a stutter is (mostly) genetic. It runs in my family (on both sides, yep…). But is the severity (mild, moderate, severe) also genetic? Unfortu...

I don't. But it definitely is a handicap. Speech is one of the most important things in life. It's the number one thing that determines your success. That said, stuttering is fluctuating. It get's bet...
