That's ok in this age. I felt the same until mid/ late 20. It was after I turned 30 that I really started to accept speech as it is. And with growing acceptance it becomes less and less noticeable. H...

I used to feel the exact same way. I’m now 24 and I still stutter (though not as much as before). I wasn’t bullied for it, I had supporting family members and was fortunate enough to see speech therap...

Bad advice: you gotta fight them. Probably not bad advice: you shouldn't let a few people determine how you feel about your education. If you love the program and you're passionate about physics, it ...

I totally agree with you man. The problem is purpose, not the stutter. A lot of your motivation is gone because you have money. The same thing happened with me once I started making a little money an...

It's hurts when that's all you see and hear. I get it, I did the exact same thing. But look where your focus is. It's on lack. It's on comparison. It's on reasons you're not good enough. I guara...

At age 18 it was the most painful for me as well. But thankfully the biggest fear of growth as well. You can change your life fairly quickly at 18. I'm constantly making videos on YouTube and suc...
