Don’t overthink it. People don’t think about our stutters nearly as much as we do. It’s just a distinctive feature about you, not something that defines you. I’m married now, but used to get similar c...

Yes and no. A stutter really can’t be fixed or calculated, but it definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone....

To meet people (romantically and friendly) you need to be okay stuttering infront of them. You'll probably panic at first, but if you're open about it, most likely people will understand. Once you're ...

I'm 18 and I stutter. I have dated 5 people now. The thing is if you can't love yourself because of your stutter no one can love you. Better go to that girl you want and talk to her. Allow her to see ...

I think it would be a good idea to approach the girl you want and don't try to not stutter. Then you'll notice that you stammer less than usual. Allow her to know you stutter and act happy when she a...

It's not ugly. It's a part of you. And I would rather be me, with my stutter. Than someone else, without it. I will always hate hearing it, because I'm always trying to improve it. But you are not p...

Uknow sometimes in a social situations I just dont care if i stutter or stumble my words. Whats really the worst someone can say to you? ”Nice stuttering following with nasty laughs” shishh keep laugh...

I don't want to change my mind. I want to control my stuttering....

Yeah, that's a common trick. :) But also, if it starts getting on your nerves that you can never say the initial word that you wanted to use, pay attention to that. It can be a lot of effort to run s...

A stutter and palilalia (vocal tic) are similar but not the same. From what I've read, I think it has to do with where in the [act of speaking the disfluency happens](https://www.sciencedirect.com/top...

Expanding on this- the pain you feel doesn’t and has never come from a stutter itself, has it? Or does it come at night when you replay your day and think of all the opportunities you wanted to say wh...

This is the way. Thank you for having the courage to say this when everyone else is saying to stick it out....

I don't find the need to develop any further on this topic, owing to your perfect example. Just a little suggestion/ advice: If you're struggling with your speech and you desperately want to conque...

Thanks for sharing man. A big turning point for me was accepting that even if I woke up tomorrow without a stutter, my life would still be full of challenges just like everyone else. Also realizing th...

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. I can appreciate that it took a lot of emotional energy to write. It struck a nerve with me, and I wondered if we could talk about it for a minute h...

Perhaps two themes to ponder in the meantime: 1 - we do not wish to be _perfect_, because that's an impossible criteria. We merely wish to be _understood_ and to carry out the communication, whatever...

Nah dude, this ain't it. Times will come when you'll need to speak for real. Maybe you don't want to work a job where you're isolated and don't speak to nobody at all. Most careers require human inter...

I'm going to be blunt with you, because I feel like you need to hear it and understand it: **Don't avoid stuttering.** It's unhealthy for you to keep going on as you do, as is clear from the way you...

I feel the same way too. I think it may be because writing is so intrinsic to your own thoughts, and over the years of managing your stutter those "problem" words or sounds don't get added to your reg...

No, I don't. I aim to use all the words I come up with. It's not a good habit to avoid words, I think....
