Agreed. It’s not my life, it’s just a part of it. But somehow, accepting that it’s a part of my life brings me comfort. I think I spent a lot of time thinking that my stutter isn’t something I’m suppo...

Okay, as a fellow 21 year old stutterer, let me give you some advice. Screw what anyone else thinks sbout you. Live the life you wanna live. Don't be ashamed to stutter your ass off. If anyone has an...

Lately I’ve been trying to destigmatize stuttering and seeing stuff like this really helps. Thanks, man....

Don't be sorry brother☹, We are here to listen to each other. The world has alway been a dark place for us. Go where you can find your happiness. I feel like the bad memories always comes to surface a...

It’s not really “I stutter and there is nothing I can do about it”, it’s more so “I was not robbed of the life I was ‘supposed’ to have”. I think that I (and many of us) like to think that stuttering ...

Stuttering kind of gives us the perk of thinking carefully before we talk, making us seem deep and humble lol Same, I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't stutter...

Wellll if I magically stopped stuttering, that would be pretty cool I won’t lie XD But having the memories of stuttering would still be integral to me as a person....

This is also true! I used to just imagine how perfect and problem-free my life would be if I had normal speech but logically, I’d have problems just like I do now. Might not be the same problems but t...

I understand how you feel completely. But let me ask you this - when you were born, did somebody give you the choice between stuttering and not stuttering? We didn't have a choice in this. It's just t...

Short answer - No. Don't let someone else tell you what you can and can't do. And don't worry about embarrassing the University. You don't owe the university anything. If you quit because of fear, you...

Well as a parent that is pretty offensive. Sorry about your parents but listen everyone has value and stutterers can become presidents, so hang in there. It’s a speech impediment and for those who are...

Hey, sorry to hear what you have to go through. Is it just me or is stuttering the only DISABILITY that is still openingly mocked, ridiculed and used as the butt of a joke? I think at some point we ju...

This is a really important line of thinking for us. I guess we all know that this is something we should do but integrating it for me was and still is a gradual process. It is very easy to fall into t...

Some people are unaware that stuttering is a struggle because no one told them about this. I did the same thing at my Job and a huge weight was lifted as well...

See, I had this mindset for a loooooong time. Even now, although I feel a huge weight lifted, I’m still like “did I REALLY have to tell them something so obvious?” But when I compare how anxious, inse...

Thanks :) I feel a massive weight off of my shoulders so I know that I did a good thing for myself....

I wouldn’t be “me” if I didn’t stutter.

I wouldn’t be “me” if I didn’t stutter. If anything makes me feel better about my stutter, it’s this. Sometimes I like to party in pity and think things like “my life would be so much better if I neve...

I think it’s totally legit. And I agree, I feel my speech improved 10-fold. I understand why some people aren’t fans as they view as avoidance. But it works for me and I feel much better talking as ...

I wish I had the confidence at age 18 to tackle stuttering head on instead of doing everything I could to avoid speaking. Good on you, and you should be proud of yourself, and you seem to have a good ...

Hi, another Eric here, actually my name is Lucas and I found this subreddit 4 hours ago and I am so glad I found this group! As for Eric it’s hard, I’m 22 and it’s not like a switch you flip, I will t...
