This is so true. Even the majority of fluent "normal speaking" people can't get a hot girl and they can't join the Navy. But what you can do is live your life how you want....

Thanks, I'm also gonna go to a therapist this saturday for this exact issue, it's not a speech therapist just a regular one who also used to have a stutter. Thanks I'll try my best to say what I want ...

I know exactly what you mean. This is easier said than done, but I’ve found a lot of success recently in expecting and accepting that I will stutter instead of trying to fight it or desperately hoping...

If by methods you mean techniques, we didn't do those. Instead I had an individual road map based on the core principles of the therapy. It primarily involved undoing all the junk that had developed i...

Yup having a stutter sucks. But limiting yourself because of your stutter is pretty pathetic. You sound pathetic man. I do agree that people shouldn’t accept their stuttering because it can be beat. I...

I’ve had this a couple times. I remember (in the dream) I was in a bar with Asian decor everywhere and I went up to order a drink. I stuttered a ton as I do. Once I woke up, I didn’t know how to feel ...

Well, the bar you’ve laid out for yourself is people not judging you, fluency in another language, a great reaction from the super hot girl, and joining the worlds’ most exclusive military force. What...

I feel this too. I don’t have a scientific answer but I feel like I can “turn it off” and just be fully myself without trying to be fluent around my parents and close family. When I’m with acquaintanc...

I can see you’re in a lot of distress and it’s okay to let it all out. It’s hard and at times seems hopeless. In my experience being open about my stuttering and telling people what’s going on when i...

I get where you are coming from, but what is the alternative? If you blame your stutter for the problems in your life, and let it hold you back, then you will not live a full life. I don’t want to let...
