I’m sad you feel this way. My husband stutters, and we’re expecting our first child soon. He was nervous about having a baby. But if you decide you won’t have a child because they might stutter, you ...

I have a lifelong inferiority complex. That no amount of therapy can fix all because of my stutter. I would feel like a total bitch if I gave a little kid a stutter. Shit makes me sad just thinking ab...

Having children with just the potential of them stuttering is disgusting.

Having children with just the potential of them stuttering is disgusting. This is the main reason why I'm not having kids and am avoiding intercourse until I get a vasectomy. Because stuttering isn't ...

How so? I'd be passing a possible disability since I also inherited it. So if I wish I wasn't born with a speech disorder, why would I have my potential children go through the same nightmare? That's ...

There's nothing wrong with choosing not to have a child (because of not passing a stutter or any other reason). There are billions of people in this world and I'm sure one less child wouldn't hurt. No...

I don't have any kids yet but I would still choose to have a child. My father's side of the family is genetic so I have it. But it's kinda messed up not to have a child because you fear that they will...

First thing first... Do not let your stutter make decisions for you. Especially life decisions. That is the path to regret and self-recrimination. Parent of three. 19F, and twins 15M&F. The girl...

Yes, my parents just did nothing to help me, no speech therapy, etc but treated me terribly as if my not being perfect anymore was an affront to them. I was abused, and marginalized and I believed a f...

I try to replace the word Im having a trouble on then I replace that word because im also having trouble with it as well and then it's an infinite loop of awkwardness whilst the person Im talking to h...

I have not been mocked but they never understood my situation and thought it's just normal and never took me to any therapist which worsened my situation. Now i am facing a lot of social problems and ...

This is so frustrating. I feel so lonely as not one of my family members even tries to understand me. It’s always "why don’t you just slow down" and "you’re in your early 20s and can’t talk…"....

I'm polite and clean cut and responsible; I work hard, am reasonably intelligent, and have a lot of interests; and I'm fairly tall and normal looking. I try really hard to be the best I can at everyth...

same here, ive been single my whole life and never dated until about 10 months ago after i turned 30. Had two dates so far, but ive put very little effort into it during the last 6 months or so....

> I just want the same opportunities to grow as my peers, and I feel so stuck in life because nobody will give me a fair chance… You can start by giving yourself a fair chance. You can't affect ho...

I am at college and mines is in a remote location, so I only get chance to get to therapist when I’m home for holidays. I feel like I have no hope...

I'm wondering this myself. I'm 31 and had alot of friends in my late teens early 20s. They all turned out to not give a fuck about me and not respect me. I'm pretty cynical now and doubt I'll ever be ...

It’s not about wanting to fit in…

It’s not about wanting to fit in… It’s the consequences of not fitting in that bother me. It’s the fact that I’ve been unemployed for over 6 months and nobody wants to hire me. It’s the fact that m...

We live in the real world, once that optimism wears off the realization of you being doomed will hurt 5x harder. Accept it now that things won't get better and build from there....

Not trying to be rude but too long didn't read. Also not trying to be downer but you are a 30 year old male. It's a depressing life. If you have any friends, try your best to build current relationshi...

Alright enough of that. Don't listen to them. I'm 35(M) and I promise you that you don't want to live a life alone. I chose that path and it's miserable. If you do choose that path be prepared for dep...
