Stoked for you that you’re at a place where you feel good about your stutter! You’re allowed to use whatever words you want to describe it; I just know that both myself (27f) and many other stutterers...

Glad for you. I don’t miss mine, it’s still there just greatly improved. I wish more people felt like you. It’d be nice if more people found it cute, and it would be nice if more stutterers could be a...

22F here and I’m also glad you’re happy. However you gotta understand that most stutterers(and people in this subreddit) are men. Therefore, they don’t even remotely receive the same treatment as us a...

Interesting, never heard this before but I’m happy that your controlling your stutter...

It’s different for guys. Being seen as not confident, weak and strange. For me personally, it’s ruined my life. It may be cute quirk for some but debilitating for others. As long as your confident i...

My stutter is mosty gone, and ngl I do kinda miss it. I still have little bits, mild blocking and a slight lisp but no where near the individuality my speech used to have. Lowkey sucks even though it ...

You mentioned that self esteem is a contributing factor for him. How familiar is he with the concept of openly stuttering? It’s more a mindset than a strategy, and I have to admit that I’ve only suppo...

I love having a stutter

I love having a stutter This isn’t sarcasm. The older I get (24f) the more I’m realizing how cute my lil stutter is. This acceptance has been making it easier for me to control it, too, which makes me...

100%! Everything you just said I competely agree and resonate with. NOT caring is hard at first, but in time, and with practice, it will be so liberating. Stuttering is only a problem becaus...

Yeah it's seem that your speech is bad until you listen to yourself recorded. It happens for me when I give a presentation, I felt bad about myself until I see the video recorded by my friends, then I...

If I can add to this. OP, I agree that I wouldn’t choose to stutter. I’d get rid of it in a heartbeat if I could. BUT, I can say it’s given me more empathy to people with speech impediments (after all...

Thanks! You make a great point about choosing to not care. Just as we choose to care about things like stuttering we can choose not to. It took me many years to really understand this. Once you ...

Thanks! And to you also, great reply. I hope everyone here reads your post. Sometimes, I feel it's almost blasphamy to say it's mostly fear based. You put it into words very clearly. In my h...

Yep, my speech therapist always says one has to accept that stuttering will never vanish. It can get better through therapy and consistent exercising. One has to build confidence and accepting for the...

I still struggle with it more than I'm willing to accept, so at the moment I would say yes. I have had many good things come my way because of my stutter however and I do think it's made me a better p...

HELPLESS is how stuttering has always felt to me. And HUMILIATING. BUT - we have to push through, to survive. You must keep going, keep showing up. Today, at work, on Zoom call with clients, I had 4...

I had to get help by finding a really good SLP to who how to help me get to where I want to be. Our set goals weren't fluency, but to make friends, say everything I want to say, feel comfortable sayin...

Oh. My. God. Reading parts of a text from a book is my biggest fear. I'm able to speak quite well face to face (with only one other person) but reading something from a book or flyer etc. still comple...

I met my wife on tinder 10 years ago! Online dating really broke the ice. I had such a hard time in college and after. Also, just accept your stutter, lean into it, be yourself. You gotta deal with th...

I do that. I've attended speech therapy and regular therapy. I have my issues in life, like everybody else. I'm constantly studying my triggers in my almost four decades of life (but mostly in this l...
