Okay, I have a few comments to make about this. First, I understand your frustration, and I'll give you some grace regarding your wording here. However, I have to point out that you don't come acros...

It's completely valid that you're fed up; watching someone you love surrender to their struggles for years is a draining and heart-wrenching experience, and your frustration is a sign that you care de...

Story of my life. I feel like I’m a pretty smart dude even smarter than most. But when you can’t convey your words properly people think down on you. There’s thousands of things I want to stay to peop...

It happens similarly to me. There are days when I talk pretty decently, and other days, I talk like crap, lol. I come down to not talking as much lately, and my talking regresses (I'm currently in thi...

Whatever works, works. We don’t really get to choose how we adapt but we gotta get through everyday and that’s enough, the thought of the constant mental battle and every social interaction feels like...

dud, I get where you're at but your kind of being a baby about this. Your ten to fifteen second delay is only the problem you make it to be, I bet your not assertive about the fact that you need a lit...

You can stop blaming yourself without giving up on yourself. It's not your fault and your situation is definitely not because you didn't work hard enough. But it's also not true that you haven't no ab...

Yeah, I kinda created a whole another persona online. People actually like me there, understand me. But the cost of it is that I'm starting to place my online persona above the irl one. I just stoppe...

Sadly for most of us stuttering has far greater mental consequences than just the fact of stuttering....
