I feel like if you begin stuttering at 14 you're atypical. Maybe confidence is a key factor for you. For those like me who started at 5-6, and haven't stopped since (now 30), confidence is not the dec...

Again, nothing changes if you’re asking what ifs. It seems the biggest issue you have to deal with is not your stutter but your mindset. You are capable, you just have to believe in yourself. Also tha...

I am a believer in positive self talk. Even if you believe you are ugly, you should stop saying it. You might eventually stop thinking that about yourself. I am not really sure what else to say. I sin...

You got the job because you’re qualified. You get the bf because he sees beyond the stutter and appreciates you as a person. It doesn’t have to be a cycle, you can break it....

I am sorry to hear of your struggles. I've felt the same way at times. What has always helped me find relationships is being funny. I think I used humor to mask my stuttering because I tend to stutte...

I never told an employer about it. I felt that if I felt it would hold me back, that that would give the employer second thought weather I was the one for the job. I was tired of feeling sad and hopel...

I think the fear is starting to get a hold of you. The more fear you have the more it's going to negatively impact situations. Push yourself outside your comfort zone. Dont avoid those words. And b...

Give it a time. After 1 Month ask yourself "do I feel more confident that at the day 1?" If so, it will get only better. I can imagine that most of the time you will improve. Let´s say you stutter li...
