What you need is some confidence, you need to grow out of this mindset you've constructed that is self sabotaging. That's not a shot at you, I understand how you feel. I have a very severe stutter mys...

I feel you. The way I'm trying to get over the ridiculousness of my stutter is by owning it. Sometimes people just don't care about it, and the ones that make me feel awkward about it, I just try to...

I don’t know what to do…

I don’t know what to do… I (27m) have had a stammer since the age of six. My stammer is something I never truly dealt with. My parents didn’t see it as a problem, so they didn’t bother to put me thro...

The good ol "don't let your stuttering define you", well that's going to happen whether you like it or not. Stuttering isn't just something you can ignore, It rids you of what billions of humans can d...

I never said I didn't care, its literally the opposite. I said "fold" because you insinuated that I need to just go through life and it is what it is, hence, "it's play or fold". miscommunication on...

That’s not very nice of you to insult me. You said, paraphrasing, that EVERY problem you have is someone else’s fault. Stuttering is a disability, and it is nobody’s fault. But you need to stop thin...
