easy one for me, I would at last, after all these years finally have a proper conversation with my sons, something I have never done, which is heartbreaking...

I understand this. With kids you never know what’s going on. At this age they also don’t like to share their troubles. Studies may have saved my son … he is so focused on grades that the surrounding n...

Thank you for sharing your experience. This has give me a lot to think about. Parents mean well (usually), but sometimes they mess up, even when they think they are doing the right thing. He does cu...

I overanalysed my stutter and it has helped me a lot

I overanalysed my stutter and it has helped me a lot This might be a long post, but before I start it, I'd just like to let you know that I'm fairly confident my stutter is anxiety based. So not an ac...

Look, I’m not sitting here pretending it’s on the same level as being paralyzed or blind or anything. I get that. But let’s be real for a second: pretty much every major milestone in life is decided b...

For me (30M), it was burnout. I spent most of my life forcing myself into socially taxing situations, like working myself up to management roles, going out to bars by myself, leading workshops, and sp...

I’ve always wondered what my life would be like without my stutter… & I always think it’d be so much better. Career wise, romantic relationship, & overall happiness. I’ve tried to stop thinking about ...

Wanting to be different

Wanting to be different Hi all, just have been contemplating a lot tonight and wanted to jot some things down. I'm sure many of you have gone through similar things and have had similar thoughts. I h...

Yeah, I totally get this. Calling it a “disability” sometimes feels like it undermines people with more severe conditions. But at the same time, all the mental stress and struggles I went through grow...

I truly agree with the detachment part, same as you I also struggle the most with battling myself and trying to come across as competent and confident. I know if I let go, it will just be better for ...

Thank you so much, brother. It really means a lot to me. I’ve been mentally devastated because all of my friends appeared for the IELTS exam within 2–3 months after coaching, but I’m scared because of...

do i have a stutter? hi!! i'm 16F, and growing up, i've always had problems with my speech. i know that i used to have the typical repetitive stutter all the time, and while that still happens sometim...

I think you made the wrong choice. Better to have said “ ok, let’s be friends”. It gives you the opportunity to interact with this person, become more confident in speaking with a girl and , who know...

I don’t know why, but I was born with a stutter. Every single day, the thought of giving up comes to my mind. But then I think about my parents, especially my dad, who has worked so hard and has never...

You cant compare yourself to normal people. Trust me if one of those people had your stutter they would be doing so much worse in life than you. Find some solo hobbies, get a dog or cycle. There are s...

You are not alone. I was recently laid off from my job due to new management and the daunting thought of having to interview all over again has me stressed out. You're right, it's not about being nerv...

You are not alone. I struggle with the thought of how other people have no idea how lucky they are to speak fluently and operate normally in society and wishing I was like them. I hate stuttering. I f...

Anyone who despite a moderate/severe stutter is charismatic?

Anyone who despite a moderate/severe stutter is charismatic? I feel trapped in my body I don't know how to put it. Everything is possible, for everybody else with a complete working body. There is th...

Completely agree with you. Ive done that for like a year, the past year and saw alot of improvement. I even made a speech Infront of 700 students and teachers. But the struggle is still there. until w...

Every day. I have friends and colleagues I become envious of as well. Depending on my mental fitness from there I can goto resentment, sadness, or “if only”s - imagining what my life would be like t...
