I think stuttering acceptance is more of "I'm not going to try to hide my stutter" than "I'm okay with stuttering". You can still practice your speech and try to improve everyday, but it's also helpf...

Does stuttering cripple anyone else's game?

Does stuttering cripple anyone else's game? To be forward, I'm a pretty handsome guy with a totally abysmal success rate with women for about as long as I can remember. Lately I've been thinking about...

I too was never bullied in school. I didn't want to put myself out there to be a target so I kept my mouth shut almost all of my elementary + high school years. I do not like my image as a stutterer....

By deconstruct I mean it kills of my abilities. If I am confident but I stutter then it seems like I lack confidence or am shy or something. Also I can't make jokes or be that charming cuz it just com...

Thanks for sharing that. I've been stuttering a lot more these past few days and needed something like that to empower me. I shared it on my Facebook wall with the following: "As someone who's stutte...

I definitely understand the desire to "black-list" dating, and sometimes I've gone through periods where it's not worth the hassle, but then I have periods where it's totally worth it. The "return" a...

Uh. I've dated many women. I've had relationships. I stutter, sometimes very badly. The two aren't related, really. The chicks who would turn you down for a stutter aren't worth your time. What do...

Several girls had crushes on me in high-school. Some would talk to me first but would then stop because I was such a bore due to me hiding my stuttering. I have never tried to pick up girls and don't...

He's not wrong. Once you learn to accept yourself and youre stuttering, it'll be a lot easier for you to just be yourself, since you won't have stuttering on your mind much or really worry about it. Y...

The point is stuttering isn't what's making you feel like shit. If you stuttered without struggle, hard blocks, tension, anxiety, fear, or shame then it wouldn't be such an issue. You need to learn yo...

Any time! Once you realize this and start to apply it, you'll probably find that is pretty universally true. The more you react/over react to a mistake (or something you perceive as a mistake) the mo...

I agree. If you react to it other people are more likely to react to your reaction, rather than the stutter itself. I actually never thought about this before, thanks! ...
