It's not a monster, it's just a thing that some people have. Therapy is meant to help you manage your stutter, if you find some techniques you can apply. Avoiding words isn't really a technique, thou...

Bro I feel like you gotta take the hard painful road, not the easy road. Stutter more and be yourself! Stop dumbing yourself down to conform. Just fucking stutter and be your wonderful unique self. Wh...

Let it be, don't think too much about it, if he loves or likes you really, he wouldn't care, if he makes fun of you or tell his friends or let another people talk about you, that's means he's not for ...

Felt it was worth sharing. We all have had ups and downs going through stuttering. But I feel the fact we are still here trying to make ourselves better each day is a positive sign. The fact that we are still here living it out.

To reiterate: I'm fine with my stutter. It doesn't make sense to speak of forcing yourself like that. It won't apply to everyone. It's an attitude - it's not a technique. Also, I don't think your st...
