That is interesting about the bilingual aspect of your stutter. I also agree that a disability doesn’t make you who you are but it is integral to the person you are. That’s just inevitable....

I don’t think you should think of it as a burden tho. You are a human being and have a right to the pursuit of happiness. In my opinion stuttering is more of a mental confidence issue that a physical ...

Yeah its funny I always say too that I would be a totally different person without the severe stutter. Probably so confident and successful its depressing thinking about it. I was insecure at 18 and s...

Really depends on the severity of your stutter and your confidence level. If I didn’t have a stutter I think I’d be an over confident dick. My stutter creates self doubt that balances me. That being s...

you’re right- i’m letting the stutter consume who i am as a person to the point where i can’t even talk to my coworkers casually. i do need to own it and not let it blur the lines of who i am. my spee...

One tip I have: don't think of speech therapy as a solution. Likewise, don't think of stuttering as a problem that needs to be solved. It just needs to be *managed.* I too have struggled with anxiety ...

Yeah I get that, because everyone’s brain is different, everyone’s personal history is different, and everyone’s stutter will be different. I’m really sorry about all of the pain your stutter has caus...

Yeah I feel that, someone stuttering for a year when they were 5 doesn't equate to them understanding what it's like on a day to day basis for many of us. I know they are just trying to relate which i...

Very sorry to read this but you are stronger than you think. Dealing with such a burden isn’t easy and not everyone can handle this. You are a warrior my g, we all are ! Life is going to prove to you ...

When you have a stammer, your confidence can take a big hit. Honestly it's going to be a very long road ahead of him if he is going to get over it. I'm 22 now and have had a stammer almost all my life...

Hi! I have ADHD and a stutter. My stutter developed at around 5 years old. Though my ADHD was never severe as a child, it got pretty bad as I entered high school. I used to love reading books. In midd...

A blog or maybe even a comic could work. A stutter is hard to describe with words, but if you are good at drawing, you could maybe do a comic and post it on Instagram or something like that. Just do y...

Short answer: it’s hard sometimes but you keep pushing on. I’m 27, and I’ve stuttered my entire life. Like you, it is fairly mild but some days are worse than others. As a child I was extremely self ...

Agreed! Saying that you stutter when you're nervous is going to give them the impression that you are nervous all the time! People who stutter, stutter everyday. It has nothing to do with nervousness....

As someone whose slept with 30 different women, sober, even with a stutter, I can humbly tell you to tell those fuckers to go fuck themselves... So, they judged your character based on a first impres...

Work groups used to be my biggest struggle as well. Feeling excluded from the conversation and the jokes. Often being too scared to say anything because I didn't want to "ruin the flow" of the convers...

How old are you? My roughest years were in my teens. You do learn to live with your stutter. I used to think a lot of negative things about myself, that I would never be successful, find a girl, etc. ...

Facing My Fears

Facing My Fears I want to share a thought, from a journey that I embarked on a few months ago and what I’ve learned coming out the other side.. Like I’m sure with many people, growing up I had a stu...

I totally get this. I find it real hard to start a conversation with people when I’m experiencing a bad speech day. Like I can literally sit beside someone at lunch and not be able to initiate a conve...

Yeah I can understand your dilemma. I once came across another stutterer and had to introduce myself to them. It was scary because I was convinced he world think I was mocking him. Anyway, this phen...
