Definitely, BUT it’s not a thought you ever want to spend too much time in. It doesn’t get you anywhere it only keeps you in a state of longing for something you’ll never have/understand. Focus on you...

They can say it, but we all know that there is a reality to having a communication disability. Stuttering is right up there with having no front teeth. We just aren’t “presentable.”...

Wow...this is a question that used to make me really have to sit down and ponder. Stuttering makes me feel unique at this point, if that makes sense. Of course, it'll be easy for me to say things will...

Definitely focus on what interests you and pursue that. The stutter is a part of you, but does not have to define you. It can be if you want it to, but it doesn't have to. If you treat your stutter as...

I still would rather have my arm. We have a speech impediment; I would not give up a limb period. That just sounds so victim mentality and self-deprecating....

I saw this in a couple of posts already and I genuinely wonder why fellow stutterers feel this way. Not being able to express and not having are totally different things. In my case I would argue ...
