Ouch, that's rough, we've all been there. I too don't really stutter, it's more like I can't say the word and so I make substitutes. Most likely, however, since no one knows about your stutter as you'...

My heart goes out to you Melissa. Even though stuttering hurts, remember it does not make you less of a person. I've been stuttering for 60 years, and have found some relief. Stuttering therapy som...

The people around me know I stutter, so I'm not really worried about that. Sometimes I'll hit a stutter when e.g. on the phone with someone external, and it'll be a bit stressful. But I try to tell m...

It seems like a good thing to do. BUT don’t make some big fucking deal about it. Just make a joke out of it. Don’t be like “So, there’s something I have to tell you about me...” Fuck that. Just be li...

My mom used to stutter when she was young, but she somehow managed to stop doing it later on. However, we don't exactly what causes stutter. It's likely a combination of several factors, and several ...

As a woman who stutters, I feel as if that is the issue. When a guy says to me my stutter is “cute” is makes me feel like I’m weak and I need protecting. In actuality my stutter has made me strong....

For sure. That's sounds rough. I only experienced real fear as a pre-teen/young teenager. I'm lucky to be an extrovert - it's more like I have no confidence (not low confidence). That 0 fucks attitude...
