1. a) Just how simple thing which other people do without much thought or struggle like ordering food, asking for directions, etc, knowing that I can't do them as easily as they do it B) I can commu...

Perfect, you'll do just fine then. I would classify myself as exactly that when I was first in college. Like people have said, college is a better environment for us stutterers. People are more accept...

Thank you. Further still, then. ▬ Why do you feel helpless? Are you able to communicate the things you mean to communicate? ▬ Have you spoken to your family about how their mocking makes you feel...

Everyone puts on a front to some degree. The super confident articulate people are trying really hard to seem that way. Every one has things eating at them to some degree they just aren't as obvious a...

1. The moment when I stutter or when I show visible effort to speak in front of someone is just embarrassing makes me feel helpless and ashamed of who I am 2.No one whom I don't know but I feel that...

Yeah I agree with you, the 30 seconds are definitely better. And I know I’ll probably enjoy the Kings speech but it’s just gonna be real hard to watch....

DJ, the music, and the visuals were the only good stuff about the movie to me. TLJ has a lot of well documented problems that I don’t wanna go into but I agree with you....

I was gonna give TLJ a go anyway, because I liked TFA and wanna see just how badly they fucked up TLJ lol And I mean, 30 seconds in a neutral light is still better than a stuttering character with mo...

Too bad he was attached to an absolute shit story. He was an actually interesting character, unlike the rest of that mess....

I mean TLJ isn’t a good movie at all so you don’t have to watch it lol. I just appreciated that one little tidbit. Oh and the character that has a stutter isn’t a big character so idk if the stutt...

Yeah I see timid stutterers all the time so it felt good to see one that broke that stereotype....

Yeah I really like it. I didn’t like the movie as a whole but DJs character is really good, especially since I am a really talkative person. It just felt good to see a stutterer that was like me (ex...

I haven’t watched TLJ yet, and didn’t know there’s a stuttering character in it that is portrayed in a positive light. That’s super good news that we’ve finally got some representation that doesn’t fa...

100% agree. I haven’t seen the film in awhile but I remember Benicio Del Toro’s stutter sounding pretty decent and it was nice seeing something where the stutter wasn’t used to portray the character a...

Definitely. It also helps break down the stereotype that people who do stutter are shy, weak, insecure, etc. like you said. He’s actually a really intimidating character, with or without a stutter....

Sometimes, but you gotta realize that this is just who we are so there's no changing that. Knowing this, don't let yourself think that way. Find that one thing that makes you happy and set aside some ...

Who is uneducated? I? WYI I can be the best stutterer in the whole world. Sometimes. We even can make a competition. I won't lose....

It really depends on the environment. My opinion of school really soured partially due to my stuttering. Talking with family and everything is difficult as well. I don't have irl friends and that's on...

To what extent stutter define you?

To what extent stutter define you? Ever since I’ve been working on my speech (in one way or another) I was reminded by people that “stutter doesn’t define me” and so on. I could never truly correspond...

I know it sucks. I’ve been there. I have low points, I have high points. Wish I was more fluent, but it is what it is. I have important meetings and the 1st impression is me stuttering! But I keep my ...
