Are you being sarcastic? Since it seems like she cares about him lol, ''normal'' people are ignorant when it comes to stuttering so give her a break, atleast she asks it here....

Meh, I think that her heart is in the right place. I know that a lot of us here are extremely defensive about our disability, but it's hard to see how it looks like to other people. Stuttering really ...

Every stutter is unique. My own has nothing to do with nerves. Is he nervous around your family, or does he just stutter more? Stuttering can make very little sense in when and how it manifests, and i...

I understand your perspective but you need to realize you're coming from an ignorant place on this. Yes, some people have some level of success with therapy, techniques, life changes, etc., but for t...

I wish that I was told beforehand how difficult it would be and that I would lose good friends due to my speech. I wish I could have known how much I would be thankful for for this stutter of mine, it...

That actually happened to me at one of my daughter's kiddie birthday parties. i met a dude that had a very mild stutter. He seemed successful, married with kids, hot wife. Normal looking dude; spoke w...

I hate that look....but now when I see someone give me that look I just stop what I was saying and instead say "I stutter, I hope that's fine with you. Thanks for your patience" it's seems to help peo...

That list is good. There are a few select people, usually older women, that have a subtle look of warmth or encouragement and I think that's nice. Idk maybe some stutterers might find that condescendi...

Nice post. I'm used to fluent people talking out of their ass and invalidating what we have to experience every day, but stutterers too? I'm not saying we should all be like OP but being delusional ...

I'm so sorry of all that you had to go through. I'm still fairly young, but I also have a stutter(mine is pretty severe), and I'm here for you. We all have to stick together and help each other out; t...

Thanks for the post. Where are you from? You may find the world isn't such a lonely place afterall... :) ...

I cried when I found this discussion..the struggle is real

I cried when I found this discussion..the struggle is real I literally broke down reading this discussion, not because your posts were sad, but because stuttering was/is a huge part of my life and is ...

In real life it feels just good. The 'not alone' feelings. And that's good. But for me it's hard to watch woman stutter on YouTube. Bc I 'see myself', and I hate that. Weird, bc in real life I don...

I'm the same way but I think it's partly because I empathise so much that it hurts. A few months back I was listening to a podcast where this young woman was talking about the physical exhaustion of s...

when i was younger it did bother me to speak to another stutterer. its probably because we are so used to other people being fluent and we being the source disfluency that we cringe. i remember in a...

Yeah I know what you mean. My first face to face encounter with another stutter was a few months ago and it caught me so off guard to hear someone stutter in front of me. It made me really insecure a...

Don't even worry about fluency! Just have an awesome time :) My fiancé has been my voice numerous times when I couldn't find mine to say something when someone was being rude after I stuttered. It's a...

Ok fair enough. Like I said before it's likely GABA system related. GABA is the break mechanism in the CNS. However, someone who stutters should not think something needs to be fixed. DON'T EVER f wit...

You nailed it. They will wait. Everyone has something, they won't tell you but it's true. Look I'm not saying it doesn't suck. Oh boy do I know! However, it isn't perceived as unintelligible, or ...

Yea I lived through this. My advice is don't feed it. The more you shine a spotlight in it the more it grows. Talk to him low key in a safe environment, non-threating. What he needs to know is great...
