If only it was simply a matter of 'manning up' and everything will work out fine. Life doesn't work that way. Very severe stutters can be a real handicap for people and not everyone is mentally strong...

I can take criticism and can accept harsh realities, but I think this post is misunderstanding people who stutter altogether. The simple truth is, you can't assign a method or behavior to cope with st...

I understand what you are saying and why you are feeling it, but the current victim mentality you're stuck in doesn't do you any favors. I have a very severe stutter and know how tough it can be. It's...

It seems unhealthy to exaggerate and interpret in this way. Genetics isn't simple math. And stuttering only comes into play when you need to talk. Lots of stuff can be done without that....

Indeed. The way I see is that if you have a genetic defect that affects day to day life (oral communication) I find it cruel to have children. Now, if a stutterer has a child, it isn't a 100% guarante...

Very true! My whole class thought I was dumb because I would get to an easy word in class, and then struggle. I've just decided to own my stutter and not look at is as a problem, but something unique....

Well, if you're an adult, it's unlikely that your stutter will disappear entirely. It can be improved and negated quite a bit, but it probably won't go away. As for me, my stutter reached its peak whe...

My stutter varies from mild when at home/people I know, to moderate in more normal/social situations, to severe in highly stressful situations. Nevertheless, I can control it, but one of my main probl...

I know how you feel. My stutter is "mild", but some days it is just not even worth talking. Thankfully it has gotten better with time. I'm 25 now and it is a lot better than it was, but I still trip a...

How bad is your stutter? Also, how old are you? It eases up with age, usually. Mine was really bad in my 20s, not so bad in 40s....

I don't know how old you are or what kind of medical issue brought on your stuttering, but as far as I am aware, blocking is stuttering. At least it is if you are blocking when you feel you are about ...
