Don't make stuttering be your crutch or excuse. You can be an extrovert if that's what you are. And you can live a fulfilling life as a stutterer, no excuses. Find a local stuttering support group you...

Dont stress man. I know in the moment it feels like crap. If it makes you feel any better, I didnt follow through with this job I posted about because they didnt work with my negotiations and I trust ...

Welp i didnt get it. Ngl, usually I’m ok with rejections but this one’s got me down. I actually liked this company, the job looked really interesting and the manager was super chill. I wish there wa...

A College Interview Experience

A College Interview Experience Hello! I’ve written on r/stutter before, but I had my boyfriend post it (who also stutters). I finally got a reddit account though! I’m glad that many of you could relat...

I'm with you, but I'm no longer down about it. We have a slight disability. Compared to other disabled people, I think we (I) have it very good. I have a pretty severe stutter and don't apply for jobs...

I remember when I entered speech therapy I was "on the border of very severe" now I would classify myself as moderate on average. I honestly don't think acceptance - for me, at least - is possible at...

Self hate isnt going to make anything better. A lot of people will encourage this type of ranting behavior, but I hope you stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are a smart capable individual gettint t...

This is exactly why I believe speech disorders are some of the most awful disabilities. Your stutter prevented you from succeeding in something I’m positive you’re great in! More research has to be ...

Be thankful for what you have. Don’t take the other aspects of your life for granted. You were given a poor hand — sure — nothing to do about that. So do your best to perfect yourself in the areas tha...
