Yup, and I use my stuttering to my advantage. Just tell people you stutter and they will understand and not care. Life gets better after that....

My go to response to almost everybody regardless of relationship (I've only been told this I think 4-5 times in my 25 years of being here) is "If I could, I would. Anyways back to my statement..." Fun...

I have to agree with all of them, I’m more understanding when it comes to having a disability we all know how it feels to be made fun of so we are more passionate about others and take the time to the...

My stutter forces me to be confident. We have to do something no one else does. We risk humiliation every time we speak a word to a stranger. So when faced with any scary challenge we can just dive i...

At one point in my life, I accepted that no speech therapy worked for me, but couldn't accept that nothing could be done at all, so I started to figure out what I could do, accept what I couldn't do. ...

Perfectly said !! THEY have the problem with YOUR stuttering. YOU don’t have the problem....

I’m 50, from Toronto and a electrician. I felt the same way about my stuttering years ago. I was depressed as a teenager and early 20’s, over weight and anti-social. I woke up one day and said to myse...

Sounds wonderful. Stuttering is a horrible disability with many negative aspects. Glad to hear of your success. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the invite. Will be in touch. Best wishes...

Hey you got a lot of people who know what that’s like. And I personally haven’t overcome stuttering but I have overcome how I feel about it and am working on it everyday. It’s the hardest thing I’ve d...

Remember stuttering at age 5. Speech therapy my through my life. Nothing worked. Lived at the fork: choose being true to myself or avoiding shame. At age 23 - I was ready to go all in and face whateve...

Sorry to hear you feel this way, i've been there myself. I'm 34m , and my ive learned how to get my speech under control , but I still stutter everyday and get stuck bad sometimes. Don't give up on yo...

The biggest takeaway I got from your post is when you said “no one understands my pain, not even my family”. This hits so close to home, no one in the world understands what we go through. Even ord...

You will eventually accept it and will not think much about it. There will be more important things in life than this. Also keep on working on it, it will get better with time....

Hi sorry this is getting to you. From an old fart, first key is learning to let cruel comments wash over you, they have an issue not you. Only ponder on feedback that you respect, but even then try to...

It's not their life it's yours. Family will mean well can't change them. My parents used to blame themselves so it must be different from this. There are things you can try but not everything works f...

I love a good acceptance post here. I am not religious but I don't think this message *requires* faith in God to work. I don't think this post is even pushing god. It's about faith in yourself that yo...

Focus on not saying whatever you think is something stupid. As long as you’re nice it doesn’t matter. The girls may think its cute if you stutter and if they dont its on them...

I've stuttered all my life. My entire family made fun of it when I was younger. Now, at 30, it hasn't even been mentioned in over 10 years. I stutter and they don't even react now. Are they still emba...
