Why does anyone need to label themselves a stutterer? Where do we draw the line? Does there even need to be a line? I wonder how much of this is a self fulfilling prophecy. I suffered a horrible speec...

I’ve heard stuttering described as an iceberg before. There are the visible effects of stuttering, and then are a lot more invisible effects below the surface. Even if one day you may not stutter a lo...

Am I even still a stutterer? So, I bet that this question gets asked a lot but kind of rethought it today. Was in a class with someone else who I think also stutters, but they have much worse of one t...

I think its cool you have the confidence to put it in your bio as long as it comes from the right mindset. Not "oh she won't like me if she finds out I stutter, so I will tell her right away" But ...

Don’t make it your identity, but don’t be afraid to talk about it either. People like honesty and vulnerability. I’ve stuttered my entire life and have had many girlfriends. I live with my gf now and ...

As someone who also stutters, it's pretty fair to not want to date someone who stutters. I understand why it's annoying. I don't mind it. At least they're not avoiding me because of my personality or ...

Oh, stuttering doesn't really have anything to do with confidence. You can stutter even if you're perfectly confident. And you can also _not_ stutter even if you're _not_ confident. You see, it's not ...

You could choose to interpret it as 'she finds _you_ adorable'. Doesn't change the expression much, and keeps the salient part. Statements are very often "emotivist" anyway, regardless of how they mi...

This. Sometimes I have good days and I feel confident and at peace with my stutter. Then I hear a recording of myself, and I just cringe and loathe myself so badly. THIS is what people have to endure...
