I can see how you could still think there is a god, but to me, if there is a god, he is pretty unfeeling. Stuttering is a serious hardship. You are going to school for speech therapy? Great. You k...

Growing up, I hated God too for my stutter. Until I became an atheist. 20 years later, I still stutter and still have a lot of difficulty at work because of it, but a lot has changed in the way I thin...

You’re only suffering because you feel restricted in a man made society. God doesn’t dictate what humans do. God shouldn’t stop making humans in different skin tones because of racism, should he? The ...

Whether there is or is not a god has nothing to do with our stutter. Stop making life decisions and beliefs based on your stutter. You’ll be happier....

I'm pretty sure it's at least significantly due to my stuttering. Although perhaps less so in how often I speak, but in what I say when I do. When writing I feel like I 'speak' much more freely, usin...

Sometimes I think I would be A LOT funnier if I didn’t have a stutter, there’s so many punchlines or jokes that I just don’t say because I know I’m going to stutter and it won’t end up being funny....

Yeah my severe stutter is a big part of what shaped my personality and I think I’d still be an introvert even if I could speak fluently though to what extent I’m not sure. I’m mildly autistic so I thi...

Well, I think the easiest way to think of it is that we are in multiple ways, depending on what we're doing. There's no singular way that we are in (or are not in, as it were). This might actually be...

No it doesn't. Find the right person who loves you for who you are. Married for 2.5 years now to a girl I met in college (I'm a stutterer). Your stutter doesn't define who you are, no matter how frust...
