Does your personality suffer when you're in a stuttering state?

Does your personality suffer when you're in a stuttering state? I used to honestly think that it wasnt possible to be happy when I stuttered.. Everytime I used to stutter it would absolutely deflate...

The toughest thing a stutterer can do is pretend they are perfect speakers. Sometimes we fail and get laughed at and that is what we have to deal with. Be positive. We can talk (sometimes) we can se...

This happened to me for the first time in a long time at the doctors office the other day when I was asked my birthday. I just said, very casually, deadpan and matter of fact, “I have a stutter, somet...

Hey, I’m sorry to hear about your experience growing up in school...I do believe though, that working backwards and tackling anxiety and depression, and bringing peace to every traumatic experience wi...

Wow I was same until I just stopped speaking to my family all together because “stuttering” was always the topic. So no speaking meant no stuttering. If my dad asked me a question I’d say “sorry I’m...

My take on this 👇 This was amazingly said.  Martina spoke nothing but the truth here. Having something as painful and apparent as a stutter can be.. This really gives us really no choice but to...

If by avoid you mean hiding it on purpose, you don't. As difficult as it may be just be yourself and do not try to hide it. Years down the road you will be much happier about the way you feel about ...

We have become excellent listeners not by choice. But it’s one of our best traits and people like that. Stuttering doesn’t define you as a person it’s just how you talk. You think clear thoughts and...
