Wow, I’m surprised you can stay so calm. I would either punch them in their face or leave and never show up again. No family member ever made fun of it. Even in school it almost never happened. There...

Yes, my dad would mock/imitate me, tell me to slow down, etc. It definitely contributed to my anxiety around speaking. That was a long time ago as a young child, and has passed away 10+ years ago. My ...

This happened at a younger age but I truly think it was because some of my relatives truly didn’t know why i was stuttering. Hearing things like “spit it out” as a child certainly isn’t helping anyone...

That was wonderful. That really made me tear up. I agree with you 100%. Thank you so much for this. ❤...

This is hella inspiring! I stuttered the other day getting my order and the man told me not to be scared but really, it just happens even if I’m not scared. It does feel liberating when starting to le...

Thanks for the suggestions.This is my first job and I've tried emails but it just made situations awkward. Some people as I said are supportive but atleast where I work, it's the minority. Again I'll ...

Thank you! Yeah, I need to remind myself about the fact that I haven’t had an easy ride. I know, if I was still stuttering I would feel the same way. It’s so weird how it just suddenly stopped....

at this point I stopped saying "its actually not the same" and just let people think what stuttering is and feels like. Yea I don't think everyone who says does it out of good intentions, I think they...

I love my GF, but when she says this to me, I always have to explain how it's not the same at all. They don't do it out of bad intention though, they just don't really know how to properly approach th...

And, yes, I would find the patience within me that I wish other had given me when my fluency was really bad as a kid....

Lol, thank you for the belly laugh 😆 My Grandfather had a limp from a stroke and I can't imagine anyone telling him to "just walk upright"....

Talking is so second nature to people, almost like breathing. It's hard for people to fathom not being able to say what you want to say....

I don't stutter much anymore, but I think stuttering made me a more tolerant person, who doesn't judge others by their "cover"....

I know its really tough to talk about it because of all the stigma but I felt like a weight had been lifted when I did it. Do it when you're ready. Stuttering definitely does not define us but it mak...

My parents were the same when I was growing up. It made me feel guilty, like I was doing something wrong but as I got older I realized that it was a part of me and honestly it made me a better person ...

“I stutter sometimes too so in a way I know how you feel”...

Who are you talking about specifically? I don't know anyone who said stuttering is easy to overcome....

Awww, thank you so much, I really needed this 🧡 I’ll probs try to be more open about my stuttering to my teachers...

I totally get you. I often find myself out of breath after a particularly bad disfluency spell. I'm sorry that I can't offer any advice or help. I can just commiserate and let you know you're not alon...

yes, several was the wrong word for me to use. i dont speak english as a native language, so these words for indefinite numbers are rather confusing. i talk with two such people, both of which i met h...
