In terms of identity, we change with our surroundings. This doesn't mean we become someone else, or something wrong. There may, of course, be some of these changes we don't like. My guess is that you ...

Does anyone else have this moment when ur alone?

Does anyone else have this moment when ur alone? it seems like the only time i feel "Normal" is when i dont talk.. like when im talking im a different person and thats not who i am, but when im alone ...

I really want to know if the stutter was brought in as a subtle character flaw to fill out the emasculating nature of his character....

Hey, you probably have started realizing that overall confidence and speaking are tightly connected so my suggestion is to start working on it. Also, it is a on-going never ending process, I'd sugg...

I really relate as mild stutterer who can be very fluent for long periods. Its super stressful when it starts to come back and its hard to build coping skills because as soon as I start to figure out ...

To some extent yes, I wish people knew I stuttered immediately. I have mild-moderate stutter which is worse in certain situations like introductions, ordering things. Obviously people often say "Did y...

I don’t know how to tell you. But, I can tell you for sure I am totally with you. I have been dealing with my stuttering for a long time. It’s embrassing. Because all of people expect me to say as nor...

Stuttering as a Musician

Stuttering as a Musician I grew up with a stutter at the same time I was learning piano. Years later, it baffled me when I encountered mental blocks in the middle of a piece that I memorized. I played...

Do note I wrote 'tantamount' just before that part of the sentence. My presumptuousness is heavily modified by that. - At any rate, in the case you're making, I do believe we have a bit of a conundr...

I met someone who used to do it tonight. I had never met anyone else before that. It's a lonely thing...

Hm. That's a bit of a narrow way of going about it. If the world turns out to be different than assumed... shouldn't we investigate this difference? It's not like I'm being dismissive of the feeling ...

I just wanted to explain my answer to the question about when I first realized I had a stutter. My parents actually noticed my stutter when I was about four. I saw a speech therapist that only referr...

But if the motivation is, say, "I like this person, I feel like commenting on something I see with them"... shouldn't we focus on that instead?...

It’s really not the “cute” part that gets me, it’s the noticing that does. I’ve been told this before and I immediately think “fuck all this time I was trying my hardest to hide it and you still notic...

Are you sure it's dismissive? That would require a particular motivation on part of the ascriber. Which, it seems to me, is the place we should be looking, when we're evaluating these sorts of stateme...

Say, I'm curious: Why do you dislike being called cute? I mean, it could've been your hair - or your shoes - or your dancing - or your freckles - or whatever. This just happens to be your stutter. Wha...

yeah i dont like it as well, i dont like when the thing that has been pulling me down gets called cute, if its so cute then anyone else can have it, i never asked for it...

This is good advice. Especially how people view your stutter. Most people won't care and if you're a decent human being they won't even acknowledge that you have a stutter because it's more magnified ...

Oh ok, well then I guess it's just a "fun" fact about stutters lol....

Yes! This is exactly what I do. Quick wit and strong facial expressions I reckon is 90% of my outgoing personality....
