For sure there's no point in thinking about it, but I think it's equally pointless to say if you didn't have it tomorrow you'd be a different person. I just don't think it's had a positive effect on...

I can cry all day about how much more wonderful my life would be if I wasn’t born with a stutter but like... I was. Like I could never have NOT been born with it. I’m longing for something impossible....

Seems like coping to me. Sure stuttering shaped who I am, but plenty of shitty things shape people. Doesn't mean my life wouldn't be better without it....

That’s fair! I went and changed “didn’t stutter” to “never stuttered” to better get my point across....

It’s not really “I stutter and there is nothing I can do about it”, it’s more so “I was not robbed of the life I was ‘supposed’ to have”. I think that I (and many of us) like to think that stuttering ...

Stuttering kind of gives us the perk of thinking carefully before we talk, making us seem deep and humble lol Same, I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't stutter...

Wellll if I magically stopped stuttering, that would be pretty cool I won’t lie XD But having the memories of stuttering would still be integral to me as a person....

I understand how you feel completely. But let me ask you this - when you were born, did somebody give you the choice between stuttering and not stuttering? We didn't have a choice in this. It's just t...

I don't think like that at all. It feels like giving up. Stuttering is not me. It doesn't define me. It isn't who I am. Sure, stuttering has allowed me to be more empathetic and more understanding, bu...

Short answer - No. Don't let someone else tell you what you can and can't do. And don't worry about embarrassing the University. You don't owe the university anything. If you quit because of fear, you...

That's a whole new perspective to stuttering for me, because for some reason, I have always thought that my kind of stuttering is the only stuttering....

I totally agree! If I magically stopped stuttering one day, I would freak the fuck out. Like yeah I say "I wish I didn't stutter" but like if that ever actually happens, I would definitely freak out a...

Hey, sorry to hear what you have to go through. Is it just me or is stuttering the only DISABILITY that is still openingly mocked, ridiculed and used as the butt of a joke? I think at some point we ju...

This is a really important line of thinking for us. I guess we all know that this is something we should do but integrating it for me was and still is a gradual process. It is very easy to fall into t...

I can relate to this for sure, I can't even tell if its because they can read body language so well or whether they have unlocked some sacred art of psychology lol...

I wouldn’t be “me” if I didn’t stutter.

I wouldn’t be “me” if I didn’t stutter. If anything makes me feel better about my stutter, it’s this. Sometimes I like to party in pity and think things like “my life would be so much better if I neve...

Well, it may be. But I think we just all have our own special things about stutter. If you don't know people who stutter like that, it doesn't mean they don't exist 😄 And it's not like I stutter ver...

Hi Eric! I’m also 23 and I stutter as well When I was younger I was so embarrassed of my speech and didn’t talk to a lot of strangers, however now that I work in costumer service I now talk to so man...

Stuttering is an invisible "disability" - people think we're just nervous. In most cases (I say most, there are assholes) someone would never tell someone in a wheelchair "you need to work on your tal...

I’m glad someone wrote about this. When I first discovered clubhouses I had the same thought. While I can appreciate the app, I can’t help but feel being left behind. Growing up in the 90s the advent ...
