Well, I wouldn't assume asureddit meant to diminish the achievement. Could be just the opposite. That is, since even people who don't stutter can be really afraid of reading aloud in class, that for...

Honestly, I hate overly optimistic motivation. But I loved your post, so thanks for taking the time to write it, hope I'll be able to write the same thing when I'm older....

Although I can't offer you any useful advice (I'm still struggling with this myself), I do wish you all the best. Just remember that you had to work harder to get where you are compared to non-stutter...

What I meant was actually that I would have liked for a stuttering adult to talk to me about it (I would have been too shy to bring it up myself!) Of course this is going to be different for every tee...

I really feel some of the points in this post *are* the cure. And, this desperately needs to be passed onto younger people who are struggling. I really wish, instead of going to a speech therapist w...

It's weird to think about all the people that we pass every day or are surrounded by in various places, what they are living with that we have no idea about. I think about this a lot. I don't stutte...

No problem mate! I am on the same path as you. If you want to talk further/exchange ideas hit me up!...

What the heck is wrong with some people... Glad to hear you've been able to shake it off for the most part though :) ...

This. The people who look like they don't care at all and speak to/look at you as if you weren't stuttering make it so much easier. ...

I am happy for you mate! I just spent some time with my Aunt who is like my second mother and because of this fact I tend to stutter alot around her since I dont want to let her down (i am sure you ca...

For sure! I'm happy to share and discuss. I had no one to talk about my stutter with growing up. There was one other boy at school who stuttered and he was so ashamed, I couldn't think to discuss it w...

Thank you for your advice. It is really helpful. It looks like that this is the only place where I can share my afflictions. Discussing with same people like me, is what keeps me up. No one except a s...

Sounds like you are fully supportive and an awesome fiance. Support is probably the biggest thing. Perhaps also mention to him that you support him and there for him if he wants to talk or if he wants...

I read this nice article about stuttering. They said this: ● Instead of telling the stutterer to slow down, set the example by speaking more slowly yourself. Listen patiently. Do not interrupt. Do no...

I am a mild stutterer and my wife doesn't stutter but extra shy. So I do most of the talking and the chores related to speaking to others, i think I am even more social than her, but both of us are ra...

My favorite is when people couldn't care less. They almost look indifferent to my struggle, but are still patient and just wait for me to finish. Most people I meet are more uneasy about my stutter th...

Yup, exactly. I say this as a female afflicted with "wounded duck thing." Tho, I do not actually see people who stutter as wounded ducks, just to be clear. But, yeah, the vulnerability and being tr...

Yeah. My philosophy: if someone doesn't want to be friends/date me because of my stutter . . . thank you, stutter, for filtering the superficial jerks out! So far I've found plenty of cool people in t...

Lmaooooo thank you /u/emmanola for the translation, I had no idea what that meant. Honestly it all comes down to the situation. Personally I've never been made fun of to an extent that offended me, t...

Thankyou so much for sharing your story. It makes a huge difference to know there are people like me out there who are doing well. It gives hope :)...
