It can be depressing…it was for me as well but it was also kind of a relief. I was able to accept that’s who I was that’s who I am, I can’t hide it, i’m going stutter my whole life. It’s difficult b...

That's totally him having an issue of not feeling understood or acknowledged. That's not on you. We all know how he feels too....

Yeah and I've never actually connected the two, but I guess it does make sense when you think about it....

I've found that even people who don't stutter dislike small talk :)...

Thank you for your kind comment :) I'm very happy my story keeps on helping people to make their day a bit better...

u/Amayax Thank You for not only a wholesome story, but being a friend to someone who needed it even if you didn’t realize it at the time....

Hi. Thank you for sharing. It means a lot to me that you have shared some of your life journey. Your risk taking only serves to encourage and inspire…well done…...

You'll be fine. Just don't let the brutal joking bother you. If you show that it bothers you it'll never end. Source: 15+ years in the USAF....

Nice work! You deserve to celebrate! It also must be nice to meet people who can look beyond your stutter and see you for who you are, and what you know. What you can bring to the table. I'm proud...

I have no idea who you are, and yet I am so happy for you. Tons of success for you as a brand new department manager!...

I understand the point you're trying to make but posting comments like this is toxic positivity, which comes across as dismissive and condescending. Yes having a stutter doesn't diminish your inherent...

I agree It's very toxic to tell someone to be positive on all conidtions when you don't even live in their shoes. Maybe you live in country that have laws against discrimination when you are trying ...

You’ve made me think of something new. I never realised that making people uncomfortable also makes us uncomfortable but it really does! I guess when you make it okay for people to laugh then it help...

Oh my :D the story is going on an adventure! Third sub where it is posted today. I hope you lovely people are all having a wonderful day! And if you find someone who needs some love, please share so...

I hate toxic positivity. Sometimes what we need is to be able to vent when we have a tough day/week because of our condition. After all that is what brings us all together....

Don’t apologise….I probably fall into this category too. I would have found this Reddit very helpful if it had been around 30 or so years ago when I felt incredibly alone. I think part of the difficul...
