Mate, please call a doctor or something like The Samaritans or an alternative. It's clear you're at a low point in your life, and many of us have been there. I suffer from mental health issues and c...

I’m am so incredibly sorry and hurt for you. I’ve had a friend who once said “just speak normally” and that’s when I became self-conscious of how I spoke at 11 years old. I am also 18 and am still nav...

Also for some reason everyone is referring to your date as "she" when you didn't mention your gender or your date's. The assumption that only men stutter is rampant in this sub....

Been stuttering on and off my whole life. I never stutter when I’m alone, with my immediate family, when I’m presenting (even in big crowds-different cadence of speech and enunciating more than usual)...

Again, I understand why many people feel that way. At the same time, I’ve lived with my stutter long enough to have a more introspective approach about it. I’m not in the camp of “accepting” my stutte...

He stutters but instead of accepting that he can’t say the words he tries to say, he says other random words. It’s ashamed because he could have brought more awareness to stuttering and to show us st...

My understanding of this is if it were a fluent person (someone who doesn't stutter) there is no way we would celebrate him nailing an interview. But since he stutters nailing an interview is not a "s...

I appreciate the positivity but Elon being a billionaire kinda trumps something like stuttering. Also he’s public about being autistic and I think he gets a “pass” for that as well....
