It's rough, I'll say that just as a preamble. It's rough. I feel pretty blessed that if I really focus and stay calm I can almost completely not stutter for a decent period of time, maybe an hour tops...

Really depends on the severity of your stutter and your confidence level. If I didn’t have a stutter I think I’d be an over confident dick. My stutter creates self doubt that balances me. That being s...

Thanks for sharing your story. I can feel you, I also struggle to say my name, which is extremely frustrating. Sometimes I avoid so many situations that I feel not only frustrated but also mentally ex...

Yeah I get kind of envious hearing others speak on their cell phones in public or ordering food while I have to go to a place with a kiosk. People take basic things like their speech for granted. I m...

A girl did something very similar to this on a first date. Not out of anger but out of what she described as humor. It was jarring for me and it was really hard to shake the memory/feeling. Ultimate...

First of all I am sorry about that. I don't know if you still have strong feelings for him despite that incident, but your significant other should never make fun of you for a disability that you have...

I didn’t think she treated me very well and couldn’t change, though I waited until the kids left, about 8 years. Coldness, incessant nagging, her control issues. She changed when the kids were born ...
