You're looking at this in a negative sense, but I get where you're coming from. Yes, we all know how much stuttering sucks, it brought a lot of us pain in many...many scenarios. I for one wish there...

I downloaded Reddit solely to reply to this- I’m in my late 30s, a person who stutters, and am a psychotherapist. You can 100% do this AND chances are by over killing that fear because you’re having t...

Agree. Children can stutter even if parents don't. So if it's not 100% it's still gambled and selfish for everyone to have children. Human should not existing at all...

i don't agree with the whole "there's a chance of \[...\], so I won't have children" take, but i can't agree with your reasoning either. the "so you would rather be dead?" part is so wrong. this is n...

I'm not against your decision but i disagree with your reason for it. your children may grow up in a different world, and they may even be someone who prefers to talk in public regardless of stutter....

I can't agree with this. I personally want to have a child someday if I can find a partner. Not deciding to have one because your stutter is insane. I hope you don't regret this decision when it's do...

Mine is genetic from my dad but I have never once resented him for it. I work in medicine now, and honestly believe there are much worse things to pass down to your children. We all have something in ...

have you considered that your experience can never exactly mirror anyone else’s? It’s actually impossible for two situations to be exactly the same. I understand your fears, but taking away your oppor...

Yes, I'd definitely prefer not to be born but that's also because of my philosophy. Even when I'm actually happy with life, logically I still think not being born would be better. I don't want to die ...

100% his choice- can't force him to have kids. But with your example - my only question is would you have preferred not to have been born? I have suffered with depression, anxiety, and a stutter, ...

I still don't think it's selfish at all. It's his choice. It's not like he's killing someone lol, he just doesn't want the possibility of his kids suffering. For example, my dad is bipolar and has be...

Not having kids because you have no interest in children, or you don't like them, isnt selfish. Not having them because there's a 1% chance they might have difficulty speaking is. Yeah, stuttering i...

Not having kids is not selfish in any case, we are human beings not breeding machines gtfo with that stone age thinking. We have a choice for a reason. I would argue its even more selfish to have kids...

So you would rather be dead than stutter? Jesus christ. I gotta say, it's quite selfish refusing to let someone else exist because you don't like something about yourself I understand there's clearly...

The "humiliation" you speak of is subjective and is determined by ones character. If you do not wish your child to suffer the same "humiliation", then equip them to stand up for themselves, be confide...

Stop with the comparisons, this is a place where we want to feel heard not compare to others. If you want to compare understand that severe stutterers have it worse than minimal stutterers...

Because we are wired to give a fuck. You can say u don't give a fuck but u do. Humans are social creatures. Its in our genes to care. You can delusion yourself into thinking you don't and it works for...

No one is here saying to be pessimistic. We need to be realistic instead of being toxic positive. This super positive attitude will crush you later in life when u realize u didn't achieve what u wan...

maybe i am in the minority but i couldn’t have a friend who stutters not only would it annoy me not being the only unique one But i would also cringe so hard listening to them because i would automati...

If I think back over my 35 year career, I’ve had some of the worst job interview experiences because of my stutter, yet, I was offered the jobs. The logical side of me believes I was hired because of...
