I mean this is true but you could apply it to any disability. If someone was deaf it would be accurate that they wouldn't be able to hear to save someone's life if they needed to, I don't think a deaf...

I went through this process in a different way, I have anxiety like a lot here and having to talk to somebody I didn't know/go out often brought me to tears but I got depressed and planned to die in a...

"If two stutterers meet, there is a big chance of 1 of them thinking that the other is making fun of them." Agree?

"If two stutterers meet, there is a big chance of 1 of them thinking that the other is making fun of them." Agree? Recently heard a fluent person say, "If two stutterers meet, there is a big chance of...

Biden does it to himself. He’s just extremely weird and uncharacteristic, I don’t think stuttering is seen as creepy, it’s more juvenile and a sign of incompetence. Something that’s cute when you’re a...

Not really in my case. I regret the years I allowed those feelings of being different caused anxiety. I’m elderly, my life has been very fortunate. As a younger person the fear of my stuttering causin...

Thank you for replying, I thought I was going crazy!! My entire life that I was in school I would always have conversations with my teachers and professors about my stutter and how I felt about speaki...

You're not overthinking at all! I understand you perfectly and it's something that frustrates me a lot too. It happens to me frequently. When they do that, it's like they're invalidating a huge porti...

Accept that you will never be a normie and that women will see you as creepy. Embrace the disabled community....

probably the severity has a lot to do with not accepting mild error-prone speech in a subset of stutterers. Also, cognitive fusion and identity-conflict are likely the biggest I think. All these disto...

In my case it’s not genetic or anxiety related. The most likely cause is physiological. I stutter mildly and randomly now for some reason. In my youth my stutter was severe. Who knows what changes phy...

Am I overthinking it?

Am I overthinking it? So I have a few people in my life that I know are completely okay with my stutter and they would never make fun of me but on the other hand I sometimes feel like people that say ...

Those activities might seem identical on the surface, but they are actually two different things. One is talking to yourself, one is talking to someone else. There is no social element to talking to...

Why is stuttering so embarrassing to talk about?

Why is stuttering so embarrassing to talk about? I notice that me, and a lot of other people who stutter are really embarrassed about their stutter and hate talking about it. Also it seems to be a co...

Exactly I feel you 100% l, people keep suggesting “embracing it” and they don’t realise as severe stutterers how marginalised we are. They always wanna make it look like it’s our fault...

That's a tough question. I've had speech therapy as a child, which didn't amount to very much. My stutter wasn't... /too/ bad, yet it conditioned me to stay quiet, and made me avoid social interaction...

At least you know what talking like a normal person is like. For most of us that's the only way we spoke in our life and there were points where you ask yourself "am i normal?"...

That you can't talk like a normal man. People don't take tou seriously and as a man that's a big disadvantage. I can't even find a girl (not that im searching i just gave up before even starting) beca...

“You don’t stutter”

“You don’t stutter” I’m not sure if anyone has experienced this but I was telling someone I have a stutter (that particular conversation I didn’t stutter) and they were like “ohh stop saying u have a...
