It totally makes sense. We are all at different stages with our stutters. I've had mine for 18+ years (started at 6, 24 now). It wasn't until a public speaking class in college that I began to fully...

I won't try and speak on behalf of anyone, but as someone who also feels a similar sentiment about my stutter, I can give my perspective. For me, my stutter shaped my personality, drove my work ethic...

Very possible! Time to start working on accepting that you have a stutter and free yourself from all the self abuse it can cause. Sure, finding ways to speak fluently is great, but you will very likel...

I have had a stutter for the past 13 plus years and I am a server at Speedys (not real name) drive in. I was scared af my first week or two and after a bit my hours were cut to convince me to start ta...

Can't say I'd care to see It stuttering this time around. Kinda portrays pws in a negative light. Though I am not going to let that keep me from seeing it. I grew up reading Stephen King as a kid. It ...

>Now that my stutter is the worst it's ever been and my mental health being the worst it's ever been it's almost unfathomable to think of trying anything. I'm sorry to hear that and I as well as m...

I agree. His stutter is obviously supposed to give the impression that he is stupid. It's an unfortunate truth that a large amount of people associate stuttering with lower intelligence ...

I don't want you to take this the wrong way or think of me as being harsh but this has to be said since most of us in this thread are likely thinking it. You are lucky you only just now started to stu...

I'm an EMT at a county jail, and in the Marine Corps Reserve. At the jail it's not so bad since I repeat pretty much the same things over and over again (allergies, injuries, med/ psych history, etc...

Ah yes. I mean sure people understand that it can be a hassle, but very rare that someone speak about it...

>Have some downsides as well though, as nobody actually talks about stuttering and pretends its not there. Yes, right, interesting. So it's not really from "understanding" that it's not mocked bu...

Hm, I honestly cant think of any other impediments now, but yes. Being cross eyed or anything like that is extremely taboo to bring up. Mainly adults yes, kids will always be kids. But if kids laugh a...
