I can only speak to my experience, I would have had them blocks and my name would have been a nightmare. I would have been concealing my stuttering and not feeling fully authentic, I was able to reduc...

Thanks for your comment. I totally understand but for some their stutter can be a sense of identity and they can see the qualities that living the experience of having a stutter can bring. It also doe...

I have huge mixed feelings about this. While it certainly isnt something that makes me feel ashamed I wouldnt consider it either a defining piece of myself. I do wanna get rid of it, but I've accepted...

Yes, my stutter did get better. I started stuttering in 1964 due to what I’d consider, pretty horrific family dynamics and issues at the age of 12. I am 69 now and speak quite well with only occasion...

I stutter, have a weight problem, and I'm also gay. But that is who I am! Your dad sucks, sorry, but it's not uncommon....

I can’t believe they wrote it like that 😭 I’m super glad that you’ve gotten better because that means there’s hope for me. Thank you so much for sharing...

So I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You ca...

You’re going to get over it. My blocks with my name come and go. It sucks and it makes you feel like shit, but you’ll get over it. I’m sorry that you get to live with this too. It’s hard and it never ...

You just have to not give a fuck. By all means go ahead and do everything you can to fix your stutter and ability to speak but at the end of the day if it’s a part of you then you need to accept it. Y...

I've struggled really bad saying my name my entire life until recently. It might help if you practice saying your name to someone you're comfortable with or just saying it to yourself when you're alon...

I mean I'd rather have a kid that stutters then a gay kid to. But if my kid stutters I wouldn't tell him what your dad said lmao. I don't think stuttering is something to he disappointed about....

Yes i think everbody has the ability to be confident..... we sell ourselves too short, and believe me that was me for 35 years of my life. Here is a test you can do and im willing to bet my life on...

I'm an RN on the cardiac floor of one of the largest hospitals in my state. It was intimidating at first but I realized (& I know it easier said than done) that I don't really care what others thi...

First job!

First job! Hi guys, I'm 18 years old and I'm a mild to severe stutterer. I'm now in my summer break and I was pretty bored. So bored that I decided to look for a summer job. I managed to find a job a...

I’m 21 and I say I’ve accepted it but I’ve really not. There was a guy at my work who had one and he would talk away to everyone and I never understood how to do it. I constantly tried to chase his se...

Exactly! Who cares what other people think, they either accept it or they don’t life goes on. You can’t change what other people think but you can change the way you think about yourself....

It's no different from anything else really. People will only respect you as much as you respect yourself, so if you're comfortable in your own skin, believe in yourself, & project that confidence...
