I would really like to see if there is cure for it. But, coming to me, I have lived all my conscious life with stuttering. It made me the person who I am today. As you said, I don't know if I would th...

He knows. If it bothered him that you stutter he wouldn't be engaged to you. The issue here is you. Trying to hide something like this from your future husband is kinda weird. ...

Growing up with my stutter has taught me to be a better person. I look back and am sorta glad I have this stutter. It made me who I am today. That being said, I would cure it if I could...

I’m sure he already knows that you stutter. I had this one teacher in college that knew I had a stutter problem when she asked me a question. Seriously I didn’t think I stutter that time. ...

Honestly, it depends on the day. But, since I have been consistently meditating and working out, I have felt more and more appreciative of it. Without my speech difficulty, I wouldn't have become who ...

No, I lack personality, and it helps me make jokes and bond with people who want to make fun of it so I don’t think I would. It wouldn’t be worth the one girl I’ll ever talk to easier to talk to...

The Steve Harvey thing is absurd. He literally told the woman to try to breathe and be sure of what she wanted to say.... f$&@ you Steve Harvey. That’s not a cure and the fact you think it is show...

1. Steve Harvey is probably blowing smoke, and is no more able to cute stuttering than cure cancer. 2. I feel like I've gotten along pretty well with my stutter though an 20/80 mix of stubborn determ...

Great question. On my worst days I’m quick to denounce and curse my stutter but like you said, my stutter makes me Me! If I somehow found a “cure” I would feel fake because stuttering has shaped my p...
