Most girls I've met have said the same thing to me. I don't get uncomfortable or offended, I know they mean well....

Haven't heard that yet lol, but I'd find it annoying. I already deal with people claiming my stutter has gone away or that they've never noticed it and I find it very patronizing....

It used to bother me now But I don’t hear people say it as much but when they do I just smile....

That reminds me of my colleagues. I thought everyone I work with or speak to regularly would know I have a stutter. Apparently they do not lol made me feel better but I still feel paranoid about it ...

When I tell people I have a speech impediment and they respond with "oh, I've never noticed it" or "oh, I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me". These comments make me really happy. Or when I am...

If the interview went good, then you're most likely a covert stutterer (I presume the interviewers only realized that you stutter after you told them so). I'd say use that to your advantage, take th...

Stuttering is just the way we talk. If you look at it that way like if it was a local accent, then you might come to terms with it. Age/Experience will help you get to acceptance and also finding othe...

I thought about it. It isn't my fault that I talk like this, so why should I feel ashamed or embarrassed about it? If people have a hard time accepting that then it's their problem, not mine....

I completed an enneagram personality test recently which confirmed I'm a perfectionist and it made me realise that I'm expecting perfect speech of myself which is an impossible goal. Nobody's speech i...

well some of us have great ppl around us where stuttering isn't a big deal. im a stutterer but i happen to have a great attitude, so i dont think it's something that'd surprise you....

Honestly I get how you feel. But I have so many friends now and stuttering isn’t really a issue for me unless I’m actively worried/thinking about it. Im even popular if you put it that way. I’m not tr...

One day I just told myself it is what it is you either live with it or be miserable everyday for the rest of your life so I choose peace and now have learned to forgive myself and be kind to myself an...

I’m old. I’m 70 yo and have stuttered since I was 12. I love myself and have had a great life. I’m in a 42 yo relationship with my current spouse. It does get better. Love yourself and realize there i...

I'm not religious but I like my version of the serenity prayer: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to know th...

I think stuttering is a blessing when it comes to making friends. It shows you who people really are. Those who love you no matter what are your real friends and those who look down on you, don’t dese...

I accepted it really early in my life, and never really made a problem out of it up until my own wedding. I wouldve loved to do a speech, but my fear of stuttering caused me not to do it (because stut...

I'm 24 now, and I've noticed my stutter improved the most when I worked a fast food job. I avoided jobs that required speaking every since I started working at 15. At the age of 23, I got a part-time ...

Acceptance...maybe my favorite stuttering topic. Partly because it was mysterious to me for many years, and many have their own definition of what acceptance is. Up until age 24 (just about 39 now), ...

I also want to add that if you just get used to disclosing your stutter, 99.9% of people are nice and don’t care at all. Ever since masks became a thing, I learned that I have to disclose constantly b...

1. It is what it is. I guess I accepted it by continuing to speak and putting myself in situations where I stuttered - phone calls, group settings, conversations with my dad. Went to a speech therapis...
