See, I’m not the kind of person who believes in giving motivation I believe in reality. Everyone will have something bad to say about you, and most people don’t care. It’s up to you: either live life...

Self-belief doesn't just magically appear, it's not something you can turn on or off. I'm suggesting that you take some sort of action to better your life in some small way. Do different things, try n...

One day when you finally start doing exactly what I've described above and you're life changes for the better, you'll look back on your present life and think 'wow that guy on Reddit was right.' I loo...

Well, you are doing everything right. You are taking action by going to therapy. You are thinking deeply about the big picture. How many of the self-pitying people here won't even think about going to...

Or, they can say: "Here's this terrible thing that happened recently. It really sucked and it makes me feel sad. So I'm now doing \*this thing\* to ensure that I'm doing everything I can to make my l...

You continue to create a 'think happy thoughts' response when I have not said that at all. I've said 'get busy and put some gruelling effort into your life to make it better.' I am quite an older pe...

I totally agree with all the things you mentioned and i was exactly the person you mentioned 1 year ago but since last year, I've been putting some effort into changing it and push myself out of my co...

Hi, all. Wow! I'm a newbie to this group, and just looked in to see what response my post had. Lots of negativity, for sure. Is it intrenched? Probably for most (the negativity). Yeah, a new idea come...

Choosing a 'poor me' attitude is a form of ruining your own life. It's like if some set out to make someone's life miserable by preventing them from taking action to change their life. This is what yo...

I have a severe lifelong stutter who spent years in social isolation and speech therapy (which did not work at all, BTW). I was born the way I am with all of the problems described. I also work in a ...

Wow, that is horrible. Porky was one I loved as a kid too, in spite of my stutter. He didn't make me feel self conscious for some reason (similar things normally would). With that said, I don't think ...

Oh, I guess all those people laughing at me and doors closing in my face and those lonely nights and feeling ostracised mean nothing? Nor does the hours, days, weeks, and years of work I put in to mak...

Social skills take practice. We only get better at being social by engaging in lots of social activities. If we feel awkward because of our personalities or speech barriers then it's likely we will fe...

I could have written your post myself. I'm an outlier on this sub from what I've heard. Not many women are stutterers (I didn't know). Attitude helps a lot. Being simple able to say, no matter how slo...

You are right that toxic positivity means emotional avoidance, pretending everything is fine when it is not, or dismissing someone’s real struggles. I lived that life of misery. But what I am talking ...

This is an excellent revelation. What can you do to make yourself more interesting and fun to be around? For me, I got involved with music and eventually joined a local band. I also got involved in so...

I think everyone is cognizant of the fact that having a stutter makes dating harder. But also if someone doesn’t want to date you cus you have a stutter, that’s a person you shouldn’t have wanted to ...

I stutter a lot. But I also make it slightly a humorous thing. Not getting self conscious but being able to laugh it off comes off as confident and I’ve been told, sexy. Yes it sucks to stutter but ...

Ive been stuttering for years. I dont care anymore. No idea if women like me or not, dont care either. Ive had a few girlfriends. I make fun of my own stuttering, it's just funny....

My stutter hasn’t hindered me at all with getting dates and eventually married twice. I was married for 15 years to my 1st Wife and we have two beautiful daughters and my 2nd Wife and I have been marr...
