Well said, it isn't easy but there are many things so much worse. Neither of my parents nor siblings stutter but I do. Who the hell knows? I'm fine with not knowing the cause and just focus on being h...

I'm a stutterer and parent of a now 21yo child with no stutter. As others suggest, don't let your speech dictate your life decisions. This truly does not matter, just love them and spend time with you...

Does the cashier at Starbucks determine your life? Pick your battles man. Obviously some peoples opinions matter but not everybodies. How you let people treat you reflects on you. I haven’t trained ...

I’m not expecting anyone to be a monk, but everyone who stutters has two options… they can either accept they do it, or deny that they have an inescapable thing they do...

Confidence is being confident in yourself that you dont give a fuck about what anyone thinks. Confidence is more than just the words you speak. Its everything, body language, how confident you are abo...

“No core reason to be confident.” You’ve decided for yourself that there is no reason for someone with a stutter to be confident. Is that your message to everyone on this sub? I stutter and I live m...

You are right. People view us as less than automatically. I don't know why your being down voted for being honest. I think what some are saying about confidence could be worded better as acceptance....

I’m glad it stuck to you. You’re not just your stutter, you’re so much more. And if anyone can’t look past that, then they aren’t worth your time....

How about we relate it to a different disability. What if every time you looked at someones blown off leg in a wheelchair they got weird about it. Or they got weird about you asking what being blind i...

I think "confidence" has been assigned to the wrong thing here. Confidence in a tool does not help when your tool (your mouth) is unreliable, you're right, but people who talk about "having confidence...

I agree, seen a lot of negative posts recently, when I was young I was extremely negative about my stutter, but as others have said. You need to accept it, and try to not let it dictate your life!...

Same!! I’m already stuttering so why not try to make the best out of it? The only thing I’m worried about is my future kids though but I realized that if that happens, I have the tools I need to help ...

Thanks for the great advice and I'll deffenitly remember it and I'll try to not let my stutter make me....

This is what I do with phone calls. I practice what I want to say, and then I speak slowly when it is actually time. I still have problems speaking to strangers (eg asking something in a store), but I...

You are not your stutter *positive post*

You are not your stutter *positive post* It’s easy to get stuck in a spiral of hopelessness because of your stutter or blocks. It can feel lonely and frustrating. But believe me when I say that accep...

Hard agree on the first part. I’ve been stuttering for 18 years and’s I can say that every single day when you’re reminded that you stutter only leads to an increase in gap of your self esteem and how...

Definitely! Everybody has different experiences when it comes to that kind of stuff. The stories you hear about people going crazy and killing themselves is a very very minuscule amount of people in t...

I totally get the first one about talking to them like you don’t respect them, seems kind of mean to say it like that but that is essentially what I do to. For me it’s having confidence that helps wit...

I can feel it bro I've been through all of it i used to cry every night for about 2-3 years till 11th grade. Little did I know you just have to accept it you don't have an option. I recently started r...

You just need to get used to it. Don’t blame or be angry with yourself because of your stutter. It doesn’t help. I had the same troubles when I was in school and I rejected all types of communication...
