There's nothing wrong with stuttering. Most good/reasonable people do not think any less of a person that stutters. If you're cool and confident about it, most other people are cool with it as well. T...

Trust is fundamental to a relationship. Do you trust him? Respect is also fundamental. Respect yourself. If someone thinks less of you for your speech impediment, that's their failing. Not yours. So...

I don’t necessarily agree with that. Maybe that’s true for some, but for me, if I’m not afraid to stutter in front of someone, and I don’t feel inhibited around them, I don’t stutter. So if that same ...

This is a lovely contrast between the oppression of stuttering and the freedom from stigma...

I used to mainly block to avoid repetition. I do all of the common facial and body ticks, panic, and get out of breath when I block. I turned 40 last year and I've just decided to stutter freely and s...
