There you go! How long have you processed it and/or put it into effect? Is it helping, whatever it is you're doing (differently)? Perhaps an additional thing: Does it lean into science? To what exte...

You just said it all, there's no better way to put it. Being brave is facing this, and accepting that it won't go away. Thanks for taking the time to write this for somebody else, it helped me as well...

Sorry, but jumping off a bridge isn't brave. Far from it. The self-pity really bothers me, and I have a severe stutter as well. Brave is FACING your problems head on, not escaping them. Not cowering ...

Speech therapy is known to be able to help stutterers. It takes time and effort. Try seeking one out (and stick to it) and see if it helps you. Other than that, it'd be a good idea to work on your mi...

I made a choice to just accept it in my late teens, always raised my hand to do presentations in class etc., but really reached the “fuck it” stage in mid-20s. I don’t even think about my stutter most...

It’s definitely hard to accept, but for me I want to beat it. I think we’ve all had periods of fluency at some points in our life. I’m 21 years old, and for the first 17/18 years of my life I spoke fl...
