I completely agree, it is the same for me. Half of my life I lived a happy fluent life and then when I was 15, stuttering occured to me. Stuttering is not me, it is a handicap I need to live with. But...

Yea I get it a lot. But I’ve learnt that if I care to much about it or it’s become the devil or that it’s become the focus of my life till the point that I see nothing but my stutter, that won’t do an...

Yea I get that if I didn’t stutter I would be a different person. But I don’t let stuttering define who I am, I don’t let it control my life. Stuttering is just another problem that I have to fight ev...

Now I’m pretty young, about going to turn 18 this year. But throughout my short life, I’ve learnt an important lesson. I met a girl about 1-2 years ago. She was one of the nicest people I’ve met and ...

Okay, as a fellow 21 year old stutterer, let me give you some advice. Screw what anyone else thinks sbout you. Live the life you wanna live. Don't be ashamed to stutter your ass off. If anyone has an...

Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s had a ‘positive’ impact on my life either, it’s just kinda a part of my life. Most likely I’m thinking WAY too deep into it but I don’t know, it makes me feel better lol...

For sure there's no point in thinking about it, but I think it's equally pointless to say if you didn't have it tomorrow you'd be a different person. I just don't think it's had a positive effect on...

Seems like coping to me. Sure stuttering shaped who I am, but plenty of shitty things shape people. Doesn't mean my life wouldn't be better without it....

Dude, trust me I know exactly how you feel. It's frustrating as hell. What sucks is that we have a disability that people don't even recognize as a disability. It's one the only disorders that people ...

Thank you, it's really difficult. I'll try my best, so that it doesn't get me. But when people look at me, as if I'm a dumbass who can't even speak - I can't help, but feel like shit. But I'll try. &...

I don't think like that at all. It feels like giving up. Stuttering is not me. It doesn't define me. It isn't who I am. Sure, stuttering has allowed me to be more empathetic and more understanding, bu...

Short answer - No. Don't let someone else tell you what you can and can't do. And don't worry about embarrassing the University. You don't owe the university anything. If you quit because of fear, you...

Well as a parent that is pretty offensive. Sorry about your parents but listen everyone has value and stutterers can become presidents, so hang in there. It’s a speech impediment and for those who are...

This is a really important line of thinking for us. I guess we all know that this is something we should do but integrating it for me was and still is a gradual process. It is very easy to fall into t...

You are doing this for you, not for them. You'll feel way better and most probably stutter less!...

This gives me hope, thanks. I know that it can't fully be cured, I just don't want it to inconvenience every part of my life and make me afraid to go after certain job opportunities. I'll try to find ...

I don't think you will embarrass yourself. In fact people will find you inspirational. Don't let your stutter stop you!...

I think every stutterer's MO should be to never give up on anything. Don't let it get you down and keep going...

I wish I had the confidence at age 18 to tackle stuttering head on instead of doing everything I could to avoid speaking. Good on you, and you should be proud of yourself, and you seem to have a good ...

Never allow the fear of embarrassment due to a stutter stop you from expressing yourself, this is coming from an older person who wished that I could have been more expressive when I was younger. Beca...
