You seem like a good kid. The more we try to hide who we are the more it's going to own us. Let go of that anxiety. Good luck to you. You deserve better people around your environment...

Yeah, good question. In 99% of my daily interactions, I don’t stutter anymore. In the rare cases I do, I can get past it pretty easily by just not beating myself up over the small blocks I have. When ...

I took the path of being the bully instead of being bullied. I was so insecure about my stutter I would randomly pick fights because I was good at fighting. Just got a reputation as a kid not to fuck ...

My stammer is the same and I only speak about it to one or two people. I would strongly urge you to tell him, he probably won’t even care that much. I’d also suggest trying to change your mindset and ...

you are not alone. I had similar experiences in my life. And I know there will be a lot of that in future, but I'm prepared and I don't care anymore. I just ignore it and it doesn't hurt me anymore....

I thought you don't stutter anymore based on your previous comments? For example, you have commented under another posts that you had a stutter in your 20s and you overcame it once you changed your th...

You guys getting matches 🙂. Keeping jokes aside you should tell her that you are a stammerer at some stage of your relationship. Be proud that you are open about it. Also it removes the pressure of h...
