I wish I could time travel back to high school and college years and assume your identity :) On a sober note, you must project more confidence with females than males and that cognitive shift transl...

First of all I am really sorry you had to go through that, people reacting like that always feel like shit and makes me want to ounch them in the face. The honest yet difficult truth which I have been...

This is so accurate that I can feel it... but it's nice to know that Danny Devito is the personification of my stuttering....

A great study by Yuko Yoshida: Benefits of Pseudostuttering: • Indirect self-disclosure (Van Riper, 1973). • Enabling people who stutter (PWS) to (Reitzes, 2005): 1) move forward through moment...

I am not a man and never felt like one, but I am who I am. I can be loud and gregarious and exhausting, or I can be calm and thoughtful and chill. But most of the timeII am all of these things because...

Jack Welch ran GE for years with a daily stutter. GE was the biggest company in the world at that time. You can feel powerful and assertive and still stutter. Stay strong bro...

Thanks so much, but this is not me in the video, just a person I follow on Youtube and I like to share her insights on here. She is amazingly well adjusted. I wish I could be this brave and open abou...

neither the outer shell nor the inside is solely enough as evolutionary psychology suggests. these are complementary concepts and both need polishing hence our nature. i wouldnt be so naive to think t...

It's not the outer shell that needs polishing. The inside. Look inwards. It's not fashion or hairstyles or where you studied ......

A superpower among the 'disabled'. You are lucky, keep it up! Hmm....maybe find a way to channel that same 'feeling' in other situations and see if it helps with your stutter. If you can 'feel' th...

They are the same thing. In the UK we often talk about stammering whereas many other countries talk about stuttering. The sounds you mentioned, D and P, are examples of plosives. Other plosives inclu...

I have had a time to think today, on my bikeride. Reflecting on my day at work yesterday, I feel like im on a glass of wine all day long without the drunk feeling. Im much more uninhibited in general ...

I'm not trying to make light of the topic or situation, but its funny because I actually have asthma, bad eyesight, a stutter, and have dealt with depression in the past. Not saying those things are f...

Having a stutter is normal. Lots of people have lots of different things that affect them. Some people have asthma, depression, bad eyesight, etc. Yes sometimes it is easier to hide our stutters but...

I’ve never thought of it as a disability, nor will I ever let it. I’ve had opportunities to claim it as a disability. In college I could have gotten out of taking a public speaking class, but I decide...

It's still a *legal* disability. I don't consider mine to be one but it one day i wanted to check the box on a job app that said "disability" I would be in my right too....

You don't get to decide how others perceive their stutter. That's incredibly ignorant. There are people who stutter who are actors and doctors and corporate executives and don't view their speech as a...

True, but many people who stutter don't consider themselves as disabled and don't apply to jobs as disabled. In my local NSA group, only one out of 8 has ever applied for any sort of disability assist...
