My Limitations

Ending it just here and right now will not bring anybody peace. It's not worth it. Positivity can get boring and old really quickly, but what else have we got? All we can do is accept it as it is and ...

I Don't have any friends

I Don't have any friends Hello, I'm a 23 year old male. I have had a stammer from the age of six. During my formative years I was really oblivious of my stammer, and easily expressed my individuality ...

I personally don't like voice chatting with randos in video games -especially team based ones! This has nothing to do with my stutter/anxiety; I've just noticed that people are usually far too toxic ...

I'm in your shoes, too. I have only talked about it once with my parents and they sent me to therapy and it didn't work out. And that was it. We never talked about it again. They don't know it's more ...

Stutter, shame of stuttering that caused social anxiety that caused isolation which caused no higher education than one year in high school.. Nah. I'm stupid as shit....

It’s funny you mention this, I agree 100%. I don’t think I stutter less or am more fluent but I am more confident approaching people when they can’t see when I have a block. So glad I found this group...

Hi, I can totally relate to you! I am also 23 and have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. The past few years it's gotten really bad. I believe it's because I've become more independent and...
