Not everyone on this sub is working toward not stuttering. Some are wishing they didn't stutter at all. Some are wishing that if they have to stutter, that it could be less. Some are or have done...

I guess, my stutter didn't make my life hard..Other things in life happened that made it harder (Both parents died before I was 18). I guess the point is you cant let something hinder you.. My luck ...

Thanks for this post - good things can happen when you look at the positive sides of the stutter and openly share your experiences. I always try to mention my stutter in the first few minutes of a jo...

Yours may not be as horrible as mine because I would give all the money in the world to get rid of this shit...

I’m going to second the guy who said I wouldn’t get rid of my past with it, but I would stop now in a heartbeat if given the option....

Sure I would get rid of it if I could (with no side effects). But if a genie granted me one wish I can think of a lot of things I would wish for before curing my stutter. ...

There's a big difference between wanting to go back in time and change your life in a major way, or having said change happen now. I would absolutely have my stutter removed today if I could. I can't...

i wrote one of my essays about my stutter, just be honest and tell your story ...

I sure as hell would get rid of my stutter. Although it brought out the best out of me, and challenged me to be better, taught me how to improvise, and made me realize many things about the world, I w...

Agreed. This was my exact thought as I read this post. If someone would have came up with a magic cure back when I was in middle school (my worst years as a stutterer) I would have made it go away in ...

You know there are people who stutter who don't have anxiety about it. Some who don't even really think about it anymore. They talk. They sometimes stutter. That's it. No anxiety, no panic, no stressi...

Stupid comment. The only way I wouldn’t get rid of it is if I could get rid of something worse. ...

Idk. I get that, but the bad stuff is just as vital to who i am as the good stuff. And, idk how to separate those. For example, if i didn’t stutter 100% wouldn’t have met my wife. She and I were in di...

Thanks for the insight! Something like this would be the perfect scenario for saying "Stuttering made me who I am today" but getting rid of it at your point in your life would be perfect....

I’ve owned my stutter, it’s who I am. My senior quote was “Did I stutter?, but I would 100% get rid of my stutter if I could. It frustrates me, and it won’t change me one bit as a person if it disappe...

Yeah stuttering sucks. But if I did not stutter I would not be a speech Language Pathologist, I would not have met my wife, I would not have the life long friends I made through the National Stutteri...

Hey. Thanks for the reply. You highlighted so many of the exact same details that I'm experiencing. The inconsistency of fluency is what's really a nuisance. If I pack an entire week full of social ...

Hey man, just found your post so I don't know if you're still hanging around here. My situation is super super similar and I have to say it feels good to see I'm not the only one in a similar situatio...

Yea exactly. People can let minor stutters impact how they communicate even more than those with more severe stutters. It's about how you carry yourself....

i'm going to take it meta here -- i think a bad stutter is when it's impacting how you communicate (not how you speak) or how you are feeling or acting in your life. i think you can stutter on every s...
