Working in a social setting I totally get it! I quickly learn who accepts me as I am and who doesn’t, but it does sting to see people and coworkers so easily able to speak. I’m 35, I know I stutter, I...

This post is motivational. I will add, nobody should be ashamed to have a disability. I believe it's a disability for myself. That doesn't mean it disables my ability to do anything. Just disables my...

Sometimes I will get down in the dumps about my fluency after a bad day. I like to remind myself of people like Moses and Paul who had disabilities and were still used by and obviously seen as valuabl...

I do everyday. This isn’t a confidence issue. What do you want your input here to be?! It’s very vague....

I ain’t going anywhere. I work. I talk to people. But I always find myself in a cycle of outgoing to introvert and solitude. You too ❤️...

We all have good days and bad days. It’s just a been a bad week 😂. Sometimes I wonder how much my personality is hindered behind the stutter....

I am so sorry you went through that as a child. I had my fair share of emotional and mental abuse but it was never physical and never blamed on my stutter and I was never told those things so for that...

2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Not about stuttering specifically, but it reminds you that your weakness doesn’t disqualify you....

You deserve to be there. Your employer hired you knowing about your speech. I'm an electrical engineer and give briefs and run meetings, they'll just get used to it. You can't change it so it's not wo...

I call this *mind reading* and it’s actually debilitating to us stutterers. When we mind read we induce fear, which increases anxiety and adrenaline. All of which exacerbates our stutter. You’re in t...

OP, I really relate. I recently started a new job at the same time as two other people, and seeing how effortlessly they connect with our colleagues makes me feel both envious and a bit sad. I’ve trie...

You simply build self confidence by being good at your job and literally own the room when it's your time to talk. That's what I do. Don't like how I talk? Couldn't care less. It's all about getting s...

Feel ya. At the end of the day your work and insight will do the talking. Develop an ego. If these people are judging your work by your physical difficulty speaking, they're the dummies. And though yo...

You can’t ever know what someone else is thinking and chances are they don’t care nearly as much as you do...

Dude there is nothing about your stutter stopping you from grad school. If you feel you can excel in a research field then do it! I won’t lie, my stutter made giving some research presentations to...

OP I understand what you are saying. OP my stuttering is extremely severe. At times it can take me about five minutes to say one word. Growing up was torture for me. My parents hated that that I was...

Your school counsellor used a bad analogy but the logic is this: every single person has something about themselves they are embarrassed by. Some are worried they are too tall, or too short, or their ...

It is the pity that hurts. It is the being misunderstood. It's being asked a question you can answer perfectly in your head but your mouth is physically locked. It's your friends and people you admire...

I've honestly brought about creating a separate subreddit that is more focused on affirmation and lifting up, but it's tough bc people's struggles are super valid. But it makes it depressing for me t...
