I felt my stutter became worse. The speech therapists always treated me me like I was stupid and only made me read. The problem was never the speaking, but more what stuttering did to my self esteem a...

I think not caring is a lot easier for people who stutter "here and there." For those of us who can barely get a single word out, who run out of breath and get weird stares while we struggle and make ...

On the opposite end, though, there is also an enormous problem (that is rarely discussed) of toxic positivity in the stuttering community. Whenever someone brings up a negative experience or problem t...

We are our own biggest enemies. Lets say she likes you, do you even accept? In the past I didn't. I've turned beautiful girls down because I believed that they deserved better. Someone who wasn't brok...
