I'm sorry for your experience. Honestly I would say that this has happened to everyone here. Because we stutter and we take time to speak out our thoughts people avoid us. People who stutter have les...

I’m mostly an ex-stutterer. Still a few blocks from time to time but nothing major. I got here through 30 years of forcing myself to speak in public. The more I did it, the less I felt defined by my s...

I'm 22 and I've never been in a relationship myself. While I think I'm pretty pathetic myself for it, it's mostly because I never tried really conversing with people afraid of what they'd say. At one...

Hiding your stutter as a stutterer is probably one of the worst things you can do. I've been stuttering for 10 years, but it has improved significantly 5 years ago thanks to self-hard work and accept...

A lot of PWS are covert stutters. They’re able to hide their stutter in everyday life by constantly substituting words or just being quiet and pretending to be introverted. I was a covert stutterer fo...

That stat is legit. It's backed by speech pathology research and global estimates. The thing is, stuttering isn't always obvious. A lot of people have mild or situational stutters that you might not ...
