Because I stutter and personally don't like it and would like to fix it despite my loved ones ensuring me they "never notice it"...

I've gotten a few different reactions. When I talk to people with a moderate stutter almost all of them do not have any reaction. When my stuttering is severe, I get confused looks quite often and i...

Well i can tell you one thing, your not alone. Far from it. What you described is almost exactly my life. I remember this traumatizing incident when i was a kid going into a new class in the middle o...

How do you deal with parents who have an apathetic attitude towards stuttering, and not having anyone to "talk" to?

How do you deal with parents who have an apathetic attitude towards stuttering, and not having anyone to "talk" to? In my father's case, I'm a "problem" - a disappointment that needs no attention unt...

I would also like to know this. ***Socializing:*** I see things as *it is what it is* and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm 5'10" but would like to be 6'3". Should I try to grow to 6'3" at the ...

I've never met another stutterer before in my life, but I have seen several videos of other people stuttering. I cringe every single time. I find stuttering to be embarrassing so when I see other peo...

How much contact with other people who stutter do you have in real life? I used to be like that but for the past ten years I met and talked to more than a hundred different people who stutter and beca...

I thought I was the only one. For the most part, it bothers me because I start feeling the struggle of how hard it can be to get some words out. When I see the physical strain that they are having, I...
