The arguing in here confuses me

The arguing in here confuses me Hey everyone. Im not sure if this will be seen by many, and I’m usually not one to post online because I don’t believe I need to have opinions on everything. Some back...

There are a lot of angry souls in here. I understand that—I have a severe stutter and there has been many times where anger manifested itself into rudeness and hatred for life. I try to give advice ...

The sub can’t please everyone . People complain about the depression and vent/rants. People complain about the positive posts. There is never going to be a solution that fit the community as a whole...

Man when I was in a group therapy with other stutterers, they rolled their eyes and sighed when I had blocks hitting me like a truck. I said “one second” nervously laughed looked at them checking thei...

I completely disagree. This is patronizing and just disrespectful to those who need support and are then pushed away because their suicidal condition is looked at as some sort of "viral" disease that ...

You are thinking about this exactly the right way; your awareness and sensitivity already make a huge difference for him. When stuttering increases, yes, it is often connected to anxiety or pressure, ...

Got it. This helps so much. I didn't want to stare creepily and looking away felt weird. Also, this was new for me so I didn't know how to act most of the time. All I could do was be patient. So I hav...

This is such a kind and thoughtful post, your friend is really lucky to have someone who cares this deeply. I’m a speech therapist, and honestly, the way you’re thinking about this already shows the r...

I'm sure your family and friends also tried their best with you. But I hope you find more people who make you happy going ahead. My dms are always open if you need someone to talk to. Yeah, maybe I'...

Damn, I wish I had a friend like you growing up. I think you need to let your friend dictate his own pace. It's a personal struggle with so many moving parts that if too much is expected of him, it ...

Need advice

Need advice Hi everyone, I’m just going to dive into my query. My close friend stutters, especially in situations where there are a lot of people around, which makes him more conscious of it. 1. How...

As a lifelong dodgers and mariners fan I hate it… as someone who stutters I can’t help but appreciate him… even through the Astro’s scandal years.  ...

My bad. In my defense the overwhelming majority of posts here are from males. But it doesn’t change anything. Any man worth a damn won’t care either. ;)...

While I usually scroll past the negative posts, I do understand that for some, this is a safe place to vent about a struggle most of us can empathize with....

I just wanted to say something to everyone who comes here to vent: You’re doing something brave. Talking about your frustration, anger, or sadness doesn’t make you weak. It means you’re facing what m...

I understand the frustration. No one is perfect. We all carry some type of burden. We are not other people’s body. We have no idea what others go through. Yes stuttering sucks, and your anger i...

Right, this is such an accurate way to describe it. It's funny, but underneath the layer of funny there's a thick, viscous undercurrent of suffering that I feel on their part, because I know how it fe...

Disabilities Do Not Define a Person

Disabilities Do Not Define a Person I want to address something I see a lot in discussions about stuttering and other disabilities: the idea that having a disability makes someone “less than” or unabl...

Involuntary Arm movement when stuck

Involuntary Arm movement when stuck Like most people, my girlfriend is overwhelmed by her stutter. She doesn't speak much to strangers or in public. She's been wearing a mask to cover mouth because sh...

Obviously OP doesn't like support. He's upset people are telling him to be positive. People have to want help and he just want validation to be sad lol...
