I think you meant posting this in good spirit, but I don’t think a lot of stutterers here will go “Damn, all I need to do is just stop caring and be positive? Why didn’t I think of that!” The strugg...

I feel like the average person cannot understand what we go through. One can imagine being blind, or deaf, but stuttering doesn't make sense to those unaffected. We have each other, but for many of u...

People who say it’s cute are saying it because, they don’t really know what to say. Especially if they don’t know before hand. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. If you’re meeting online first, I’d squeez...

Yes, they do that. But its not like they are embarrassed of you or something like that; i think that they feel awkward and want to comfort you in a way. So... Their intentions are good, but, it's bad,...

That’s not what I’m saying. I am well aware of the drawbacks stuttering ensues. I am applying that any ‘decent’ woman isn’t going to carry about if you stutter or not. If you’re a good dude, hard work...
