No problem. I wrote a lot about how my stutter has made me a more patient, empathetic, open-minded person and I truly believe that. I've noticed I tend to be less judgmental than some of my friends an...

It might have influenced me a little bit, but I wouldn't say it was the primary reason. I just find medicine interesting, and I have a personality where I really enjoy taking care of other people. Stu...

Yeah, I've met lots of people who laughed out loud or said "forgot your name?" while I was in the middle of stuttering, but 95% of the time, it's out of surprise or they think I'm joking around. Then ...

I disagree, not everyone know hot to react to a stutter and may think they're being disarming saying something like forgot your name hahaaha. But if they're outright mocking you they're a cunt obvious...

/#1 for sure. I've always said that my stutter helps me get a sense of peoples' character based on their reaction. ...

It makes you more empathetic and patient. My stutter is invisible. People can't see it immediately unlike, say, a wheelchair. They don't know who I am, what I'm going through whenever I talk. So, I do...

It made me obsessed with linguistics in general and drove me to learn a few languages (to see if I would stutter less in a different way of speaking). Others mentioned compassion. I agree with that. ...

This might seem weird, but I find stutterers to very often be really charismatic people. I'm not a stutterer myself, I came across this post on Explore New Subreddits, but I've often noticed this abou...

Are there any positive things about stuttering?

Are there any positive things about stuttering? I've thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with anything....

well that sucks. Their loss though, there's still a lot of good positive stuff posted. I usually just skip the rant stuff if i dont think i can help...

Yea, I'm just frustrated, as I've talked to about 7 people now who have been turned away from the subreddit because of the negativity. But I understand why there's so much of it....

That's how those people feel. Those feelings aren't "wrong", they're honest. Commiseration and empathy for with negative experiences make people feel less alone and less unique to their situation. I ...

Your last line is exactly what I'm getting at in the post. The problem with the negative posts on here is that the replies to them are nearly all negative also. There's so many contradictions to what ...

I only got about half way through, but if this is to be a safe and welcoming place for people who stutter then I think we need to let people express themselves. Many people don't/can't talk about stut...

I definitely agree with you about being positive about the stutter, but I understand as a human it's hard. It's hard to be positive about something that so deeply affects your life and some people use...

It gets better man, it always gets better. Join our discord chat and talk with us for a bit, I'm under James on there....

Zioticx, As a lifelong stutterer myself, I completely understand how you're feeling. Sometimes it seems *impossible* to live the kind of life you want to live with a stutter. My advice- you can't all...

Wow I know exactly what you're talking about. I know we don't know each other but I'm very proud of you :)...

You'll be surprised man. Yes I'd say it's for stutterers male or female just to date in general; but there are some men/women out there who won't give a shit at all that you stutter. ;) I know that be...

Those videos are so good. I never knew anyone else considered "singing" in a speaking as a way to avoid stuttering. Thank you for sharing!...
