It's not victimhood at all. I love this story. I'm a white male but I've always felt that my stutter has created challenges outside the norms of society. I feel that would put me in a minority bucket....

Yeah, it's like I don't think I should be labeled as disabled because I can still do so much. I don't think I'm "worthy" of that title....

Sometimes stuttering helps

Sometimes stuttering helps I'm a summer research intern at a popular hospital with about 140 other undergraduates. Yesterday me and 5 other students got an email saying to come to a meeting today to ...

This is a bit I think looks confusing: >I try not to let **my ego** get to me >**it** sometimes makes me feel child-like If it's about stutter, it seems like there's something missing somehow...

I don’t see why you would want to overcome feeling humble? If you mean that your stutter takes a hit on your ego, that’s another talk, but it’s not the same as being humble I believe...

My stammer keeps me humble

My stammer keeps me humble It seems like no matter how well I’m doing professionally my stutter brings me back to square one. As much as I try not to let my ego get to me, it sometimes makes me feel c...

This is basically a book but, I highly recommend you read it. Another commenter here is partially right. You are meeting women in situations where they are likely seeking out a partner too and they a...

>​Regarding the stories: I do think some are legit and some are fake. I have spoken to people who have this freeing mentality about their speech. Those people are not fake. They really have let-go....

So to make up for your stutter, you excelled in other areas? I am the same way. I'm an intelligent person too who has many talents. I was employee of the month at a few of my recent jobs. When I was i...

TL;DR no one likes their stutter. No one. Sure, some may find moments of relief and *think* they like it. But, once the dust settles, they will be back at square 1 and, at the very most, they will jus...

Phenibut - MY positive experience using this substance

Phenibut - MY positive experience using this substance TL;DR: Phenibut has increased my fluency and decreased my social anxiety significantly. ​ Hi everyone, I am currently 26 years ol...

You're absolutely right, I think everyone who is different needs to work a little harder on things like confidence that seem so natural. And thanks for the kind words, I'll try my best :]...

I don't like it. But i just don't fucking care anymore. I'm learning my third language now (spanish) because I actually like speaking. It's like hard mode for me, but I'm still good at it. Although my...

I guess it's a way of regaining agency to take control of the identity space. That's not unique to stuttering, though, so in reality, we're looking at a general topic. :)...

I hear you mate. I’m 31, and a pastor so I sing/speak in front of hundreds each week and it’s a part of who I am. It’s tough and not a fun road. Most people will never understand the shame that a simp...

Stuttering certainly makes you unique..just not in a good way. I don't think anyone truly likes their stutter....

It isn't.... It just defines what type of speaker I am.... I am not scared too speak.... I have more vocabulary than any one out there for my age.... I am proud of myself....Even though this thing has...

Would you change anything in your life if you woke up and your stutter was gone?

Would you change anything in your life if you woke up and your stutter was gone? I know quite a few people here seem to mention having or looking for jobs that don't require speaking or using daily/ro...
