Where's the choice for 'just accepting my stutter as part of who I am and celebrating my stutter as part of my individuality?'...

Yeah stuttering is big disadvantage. Nevertheless there are a lot of other more important traits at work. In a lot of jobs speaking is actually a small part of the job. Sure it will take you more time...

we all deal with this curse diff, some are optimistic, and don't try to let their stammer put them off doing whatever they want, but others, like me go the isolation way, unfortunately I have l...

Dad! Dear Readers, As I sit down to write this letter, my mind races with memories of my son, born in 2014, who like many of you, faced the challenge of delayed speech and struggled to keep up with h...

I felt like that my whole life. I let the stutter control my life. It wasn’t well into my 30s when I realized that this stutter is only a small, tiny part of myself. I’m more than just a stutterer. ...

I block terribly like completely I feel like it made me more of an introvert and harmed my confidence, self-esteem etc but I don’t think it’s really fair to pin it all to the stutter....

I'm very outgoing and boisterous when around friends, but I become extremely quiet and rarely talk when out and about. But I'm also becoming more quiet and reserved even when around friends as my ment...

We're our own worst enemy. This goes for people in general, but you add a difficulty like stuttering, a direct impact on communication with others, it really magnifies things. I use to see myself as ...

The peace you seem to have found is essentially where I am. I'm happy with myself. This doesn't negate the a-holes or the difficult days, but I don't hate myself anymore. As for the tattoo, I like t...

I experience this but opposite. With people I know and am close to I barely stutter. Interestingly most of my friends don't know I stutter. But with strangers, work colleagues and people I don't know ...

Yes 100% but I’m cool with that. I’m not that smart so being a lawyer and a doctor was never an option but I do think that couldn’t do it even if I did have the grades. Same goes for being in the poli...

Yeah I get you. What’s strange is, it’s not a case of me having a skill of suppressing my stutter with strangers, it’s really that I don’t ever stutter. Like when I started this job I never stuttered...
