Hope I’m not too late to chime in! Like many other people have pointed out, there’s really not a ton of jobs that will flat-out be impossible without a stutter. I, 22m, just graduated college with a...

That’s a loaded question haha. The answer to that is unfortunately not satisfying. It depends on the person and mostly time.So what’s worked for me won’t necessarily work for you but here’s a couple t...

I echo a lot of the sentiments on here. I’m 27 and have been stuttering since I can remember. Attended lots of speech therapy, had bfs, friends, and the like but rarely interact with others who stutte...

great post! do you have any examples of how to handle bad days and relieve stress/any guidance on figuring out how that looks for you?...

We want to express ourselves and stutter can make this very difficult. We change the way we speak or what we say as avoidance strategy. At the beginning of this year I made self expression my topic o...

Self care is important! I've noticed doing something for myself (drive, walk, car work, etc) helps my overall well being as well as my stutter. I worked at a small assisted living home for a year an...

Being a PWS (Person who stutters) felt like a horrible curse growing up, but I can say at 28 years old that stuttering feels almost more like a right of passage. You have to overcome such a public dis...

my boyfriend has a stutter. we met via a dating app which was helpful because it allowed me to know he had a stutter (he openly had mentioned it on his profile) as opposed to being surprised when we f...

Hey, u/AnxiousAbrocoma5222! Stuttering has no ‘cure’, but there are a ton of methods and speech therapy techniques to help suppress stuttering at its core. With that said, the other commenter is hitti...

Yes I share same ideas with you, I’m at a point where I’m done with it. Mind over matter I just believe that I can conquer it and bouncing off what you said, if our stutter only occurs socially then c...

I can definitely empathize with you there. It's extremely frustrating when you want to speak your mind out and there's something holding you back. The more you try to fight it, the worse it gets. I t...

Hey dude until today I never realized how much stuttering was affecting my life. Today I spent an hour crying and talking about how detrimental stuttering was to me, now I feel reborn. You and I know ...

I know what factors led to my success very well. All credit goes to Jesus Christ. He brought me out of those dark moments when I felt like giving up. I was only able to work hard because Jesus put me ...

You're right. I dont know if you put yourself out there. However, if you did and you fell flat on your face, that doesn't mean you should stop. So why did I get where I'm at? Also, let me ask you th...

How is it "survivorship bias"? Yes, things are harder for us because of public perception. Yes, we have to work harder than the average person. But that shouldn't deter you from doing what you want t...

If I took my stuttering into consideration, I would have never became a big city Firefighter/EMT. And it's not a "romantic leap of faith". If you're qualified for the job then you have every right t...

I stutter as well, and no, not everyone’s hardship is the same, but we do all have hardships. You know what is true though? We get the opportunity to overcome the negative feelings that accompany st...

That's right. It's a slow process and you will find bumps along the way in the beginning, but if you are willing to take that first step, you already have my respect and everyone else's, for sure. Our...

Lots of good answers from others here. Just dropping in to say good for you for putting yourself out there and embracing the discomfort. You’re gonna go places!...

It gets easier Conor. It can make you tough and you think more and say less but that means your words have more value. Do it your own way but you're not alone and I can tell you right now there's a ve...
