Speaking as someone who felt a lot like that when I was younger (I’m not old! I’m 33 lol), you’ll be just fine. Just take the good with the bad & keep your head up....

Hard work pays off at times

Hard work pays off at times I stuttered forever in my childhood. I still do. I was depressed, I still am at times. I lacked confidence. I can speak well, but only in my mind. I always wanted to be a ...

Bruh life can't go worse and worse, there have to be some moments in your life that are good. Also the "find good friends advice" is the only thing you can do, even if you hate it. Think about it, if ...

The power every word I just read delivers is one I've never felt. With this mindset you'd be able to truly live. I believe this is something us stutters could achieve. But everyone is on a different l...

I wouldn't listen to all the negative comment here. I read an interview recently with Joe Biden where he talks about his stutter. He still stutters to this day, but it is virtually unnoticeable to mo...

Setting up the expectation for your stutter to vanish is setting yourself up to fail when you don't meet that expectation. There's nothing wrong with being hopeful and excited, but it's easier to get...
