Oof I absolutely understand you :/ I used to see my stutter as 'just' an annoying feature of mine, and now thar it has become worse I changed my opinion...

I totally agree. Stuttering has made me want to talk to people, just to practice. I doubt I would be talking to people if I didn’t have a stutter. In fact, I’ve noticed I talk more than fluent peopl...

Identity can work like that, sure. :) Even if you suddenly lost your stutter tomorrow, there'd still be all that history with it, up to that point. So it'll still be part of you in that sense. But w...

I guess my thought is that I don’t find it cute, I find it to be a very complicated presence in my life that can often cause people to not take me seriously. I think the “cute” part hits right on the ...

Interesting! I just went on a date with a guy who said something similar, that he was nervous and it helped him feel more comfortable. On an unrelated note, I’m studying to become a therapist and thi...

Well i guess its more based on what you look like. If you're cute or attractive, your stutter is going to be seen as cute. If your ugly, thats a different story....

Mmm that’s a hard one. I think the reason why it may happen to people that stutter quite often is because they don’t identify that they have a stutter and most people view it as circumstantial. I ...

What do you mean by it’s getting worse? More frequent? More struggle? I find that my stuttering is pretty variable from day to day but what changes over time is more my thoughts and feelings towards i...

I have never met a girl who stutters. I think they're much much rarer than men stutterers. I've only met two people in my life who stutter and they were both men and it does kinda create a comfort zon...

I was thinking about it but to be honest school isn’t my thing. I was thinking about going to trade school or get myself a decent good paying short career. I feel like this stutter holds me back in a ...

I dont know if its made me more mature. What I can say is that I've always been an extrovert - I feed off of the energy of others. The stutter kinda just made it harder to be as extroverted as I see m...

Same here. I stutter badly when talking to my parents and my SO. Aka people I'm closest to. I stutter least with strangers i.e. during job interviews. Idk why it's weird....

I feel that way too about things. I learned that communication is like 70-80 percent nonverbal. We communicate more through tone, eye contact, and facial expressions. Everyone does judge to an e...

I am like this too. If I get into conversations I start to stutter as well if it is like a lot of thinking or certain types of people that talk fast or are really articulate make my stutter worse wit...

This is exactly why I set out to learn everything I could know and perfect every conceivable skill related to my profession (which is, of course, impossible, but that didn’t stop me from trying) for m...

This is certainly valid. "Winning" in daily life has everything to do with performing confidence. With a stutter it's sometimes unfathomable to perform confidence....

I don't have any experience, but I've had this before and wanted to share. So, I think one of my teachers stutters. I've had him for 2 years, and I'm pretty sure I'm right. He has a repetitive stutte...

Bro this is sooooo me! I'm around the same age and stuff too and post-uni life has really made me realise this even more....

Your comment literally made me tear up. I just finished up my first year in medical school. I don't worry too much about the academics weirdly enough, but about the clinical courses and rotations. I'm...

I remember as a kid wishing I was deaf. Because then people would know I have a disability and would treat me as such. When I would meet strangers and start stuttering, people would just look at me li...
