I know you meant well but this post just comes off weird. With peace and love you’re 16 and haven’t gotten out into the real world yet. People are mean and people judge hard. I’m glad you were able to...

After 33 years of stuttering I’m finally learning that no one really cares. And if they do, then fuck them. We are our own biggest critics. We need to give ourselves a break once in a while. Don’t let...

I'm not going to vote this post up or down. I believe you mean well, and you're trying to contribute, so a downvote isn't right. But I also believe you have a flawed understanding of stuttering, so I ...

I agree with OP. I have a terrible stutter, but it is in no way comparable to a missing limb or autism which are actually irreversible. People with Tourette’s are more comparable except that Tourette’...

Your stutter was “reversed” because you probably outgrew it buddy. Congrats. Not everybody who stutters is as fortunate as you. I’m 22, and my stutter has gotten more severe over the years, and since ...

Every stutter is different. Congrats if you reversed yours, but I don't see how you know for a fact that my stutter can be fixed, nor anyone elses'. I agree, it's important to try new methods and see ...

Here's a couple of thoughts that have been helpful to me over the years. 1. Let go of the idea of perfect speech. Let's be honest, even fluent speakers aren't perfect, and our stutter probably isn't ...

I agree with the essence. Judging by your testimonials, you're probably a mild stutterer (like myself). In this case, it is in fact true that our stuttering, or the way we speak in general, is largely...
