Yea I get what you mean. I mostly improved myself through forceful exposure therapy and still advocate for doing what makes you uncomfortable So a dislike doesn't become a fear or phobia but it would ...

No need to apologise mate. I know everyone's intentions are good. I don't want to discourage anyone from posting either. I was just imagining how I would have taken some of these posts when I was at m...

I believe I'm likely one of those people you're referring to. Please know that my posts and comments come solely from a place of wanting to help. I really hope my encouragements don't come across a...

Yea you're right and I get the intention, I'm pretty happy in my life and have a decent control of my stutter and mental health now but I just imagine how I'd take that shit when I was teenager. They ...

As another user said, it's coming from people being in different perspectives. If you overcame your stutter through hard work and persistence, a lot of the posts here are going to come across as whiny...

I hear what you’re saying. Stammering is an awful affliction and can have a hugely detrimental effect on a persons life. There have been times in my life when I have struggled beyond belief without an...

I understand you 100%, but it all comes down to what kind of stage you currently are at. For every stutterer there are days when everything is just fucked and you are fed up with life, stuttering is ...

anyone else seeing a lot of "toxic positivity" post in here lately?

anyone else seeing a lot of "toxic positivity" post in here lately? Bit of a rant and maybe I'm just getting bitter haha but I seem to be noticing an increase in posts minimising peoples experience h...

thank you for your positivity! what would you recommend for a friend to do for someone who has a stutter but is caught in a very negative mindset? is there any way for someone who doesn't stutter to h...

I’m really sorry. I can’t imagine a parent not knowing how hurtful being mocked is. I hope he comes to senses and apologizes....

Your feelings are completely valid. I don't think there's anything more painful than getting mocked by a parent for something they already causes so much shame. I'm sorry that happened. I will say he...

I believe since we are born into sin, and born WITH sin, things like this can happen.. But overcoming our obstacles and fulfilling God's plan and will are something He knows we can handle. I have prev...

Proud of you! It’s so important to share those feelings with someone you trust, and really can help the healing process. Sending you strength and love...

Are you sure he’s even doing it intentionally? I’ve noticed that people, especially those who conquered stuttering through therapy as a kid, often relapse around me. It’s not their fault and honestl...

Thank you so much! The stuttering has calmed down a little, but it’s not completely gone. So I guess I’ll just take that as a win. Again thank you for the reassurance. Hope you also get better with th...

There are so many people here who downvote helpful articles. It's like they just want to wallow in their agony....

It was hard to do but.. as it happened. It felt as if a big weight had been lifted because I'm not someone who shows emotions. Even to my closest family. I'll do my best from here on out. Thank you so...

sending a ton of love and support - you are not useless. I know how you feel, I was you. Plenty of big money making jobs with no need for speaking. Our most memorable moments, sometimes, are in peace,...

Hi there. Thank you for sharing…sounds incredibly emotional and a very important step for you. Well done. It took courage to let your guard down like that. Your tears may have expressed so much more t...
