It certainly would be helpful for some people, but I also feel as though it would decrease the general awareness of stuttering. In a better world people would be more interested in removing the stigma...

Stuttering is not a disability.People on this subreddit are saying that it causes problems with yourself social life when really it just exposes who you should stay away from. If you meet someone new...

Getting real aggressive and “checking people”

Getting real aggressive and “checking people” Basically I’m just ranting y’all can’t respond how y’all want but anyways So at work I kinda been tolerating disrespect people saying things about my stu...

Based on my own experience, I think I disagree. I’ve been unemployed for about 6 months and I can’t even get a minimum wage job right now. I have 5 years worth of work experience on my resume, there ...

Im not going to tell you it doesn't suck, of course, it sucks. The thing is, as you get older things sucking bother you less and stuttering is no different. There are at least two major silver linin...

I can't imagine being 30 and stuttering, it makes my heart wrench just by imagining it. stuttering is embarrassing and it's hard to be around people who stutter....

Mine acted like they didn't care. It was in the 50s and 60s but there were speech therapists then. My parents just didn't make any effort to understand, let alone help. I hear you and I'm sorry...

Story of my life. I’ve been unemployed for about 6 months now, and I’m sure this is the reason why nobody will hire me. Apparently because I stutter, I’m not capable of performing basic tasks for mini...

Oh absolutely. I can see it in people's expressions when I try to talk to them. I've been talked to in a slow, patronizing voice so many times. It's depressing....

I'm not being unkind, just pointing out that his old videos show him with decades of good days, uninterrupted, whereas now, not so much. The stutter thing just seems like a widely supported cover for...

Yes very much. If it’s someone I’m going to talk to for more than 30 seconds I will say something like “sorry, I know I look like it but I’m not actually quite that dumb” which usually takes an awfull...

Does someone else worry about being perceived as dumb, slow, retarded or stupid because of their stutter? That seems to be my biggest insecurity

Thanks for the support! I hope my fears are baseless. Though it's sad that people might see a stutter as a lack of language knowledge, when that isn't necessarily true. I saw in a video somewhere th...

Thanks but just a fellow stutterer with a lot of fuck it! I had more than stuttering so I had to grow tough. I have a unique name, wear glasses and I stutter. Parents died before I was 18, 51 now. ...

Sweetheart, he did you a favor. Could you imagine getting all dolled up, being grossly nervous, paying for an Uber, making awkward small talk, and then paying for a meal you were too nervous to eat…o...

Try not to let small minded people like that affect you and your peace. The majority of people out there are normal, understanding and won’t think twice about a stutter. The rest of people are prejudi...

It hurts for sure. But looking at the upside your stutter acts as a good filter for assholes....

I'm sorry that happened, but you dodged a bullet there. It's better to find out that he doesn't have the patience to be with someone who stutters now, than find out later on. Keep your head up. Your s...

If you didn't stutter, he would have found something else to criticize. Actual decent people wouldn't be judgmental that way. You probably dodged a bullet...

It hurts, and it hurts deeply. There might be a silver lining: at least he revealed himself to be a worthless sack of shit upfront instead of wasting any of your time. Better to find out upfront than ...
