I feel the same way sometimes... But I try to forgive myself. It's not my fault I stutter, it's the hand I've been dealt at birth, and I want to make the most of it. That doesn't mean it's always easy...

You can't get rid of something that's a part of try. Trying to and trying to stop stuttering is what's making things miserable. You can go in the opposite direction and instead of fighting it, learn a...

Update: It went well. I struggled a little bit when I had to mention that I stutter, but after that I feel relaxed and I stuttered less. I feel proud of myself :). Disclosing helps me to feel less p...

Disclosing is good. You’re being up front about it. No need to make a joke, they’ll appreciate your honesty and honestly there’s nothing wrong with having a stutter, doesn’t make you less valuable to ...

Just be yourself. If that means making light of it, do that. If it means trying to covertly stutter, do that. There’s no wrong answer. Good luck & let us know how it goes. You’ve got this!!...

I agree. I used to blame my stammer for all my problems and misery. In reality, I just have a melancholic disposition and a collection of psychiatric conditions. After years of overcoming depression I...

Unlike stuttering, fat will go away if you don't eat. And there is plenty in life to do. Stuttering doesn't prevent you from living. Sure, it might influence some decisions and interactions, but it on...

Thank you for this post. Also, I had a talk with my gf about stuttering and she told me one thing that caught my mind. She said: “You should worry less about it. It has made you the way you are today....

Happy to hear you had that positive experience that’s great! And yes, this sub is in need of more optimism, a way to look at it is- suffering is relative, the pain someone may feel as a result of st...

I stutter as well. People are more confused than anything, but usually it’s been like how I present it that really matters. I def think owning it helps! I never felt comfortable to do this until like ...

If you can not give a fuck about it, it would be amazing. Atleast try it, the more you give importance to mean people the more you will be prone to stutter. But if really bothers you, maybe take the a...

Great. Thanks for that. Love the second point: **"I may not be able to control this situation. But I am in charge of how I respond."** It´s all about how you treat yourself after you stutter. Love or...

Encountering a stutter (or trigger) is tough, but so are we! Though we cannot alter the past or control every outcome, we can be in charge of how we respond. It's a journey, (1) understanding our limits what we control and what lies outside our reach, (2) understanding and accepting this distinction
