I sometimes feel like this but you have to look at the value you bring to the conversation. I mean suppose you were with a group of people and this group was discussing a famous musician. Better yet, ...

Hm, couple of remarks here. 1: What's wrong with "pity"? In so far as it's a rather common reaction to someone being in a bummer situation, I don't see why you'd necessarily be against it? 2: You sh...

You may be right. I know she wishes the pain could go away which is why she's open to trying anything to make that a possibility. It may also be how she said these words too. First time there was a sa...

I know she's not projecting. She has been to a few NSA meetings with me. She knows how I feel about my stutter. CheshireUnicorn said it best: My mom wants to minimize the hardship, not just for me but...

This! This is probably the most likely reason. I am not a parent but I can imagine it is the role of all parents to protect their children. I guess until I am a parent myself, I won't know what this r...

Sounds like she's projecting. It's a pretty unhealthy and I'm sorry she's putting her own beliefs and fears about stuttering on to you. I would go with her to an NSA support group meeting if you have...

You said this was the 2nd or so time your Mom has said something like this.. and the first time was very emotional. Your mom loves you and she loves you regardless of your stutter by she realizes it c...

You could ask her why she said it. She probably feels responsible for your stutter and she thinks she knows how it affects you and wishes she could take away the negatives of how it affects you. May...

I think it would have been different if she said "I wish there was a cure. I hate how my child stutters." Instead she is saying she doesn't want you to suffer. Shes empathizing with you, which show...

Hi, the same with me. I can give a presentation for as long as I want, without the feeling that my stuttering is holding me back. I think it's because I'm speaking loudly and articulate the words prec...

>You can't cure it I think we can cure it. Because when we're alone we're speaking normally. It means we have no problem about talking with anyone. We have a problem about trusting ourself....

To dovetail, there are many ways to work on self confidence. It helps a lot of you take care of your physical appearance: shower, exercise, eat right, even go thrifting for a new outfit. It always hel...

I used to until I started reevaluating my self-worth. We are the biggest critics of ourselves. Our thoughts are just as valuable as anyone else's. Once I truly stopped worrying about what other people...

Yes. Look, I have been trying to speak like this for a few months now. A FEW MONTHS. You need to be consistent to view results. I've argued against my therapist for such a long time and now I can fina...

I actually started working out because I thought it would help with my stutter. It didn't but I feel more confident...

Not my stutter, but it helped my confidence which in turn helps with not avoiding talking situations....

I'm 26(today😅). Been stuttering ever since I remember. The frequency of my stuttering has reduced dramatically, but there are incidents when it happens(usually when I'm introducing myself, or on a ph...

Thanks for the kind and informative answer! I'll do my best to encourage him, I hope to see him grow to be more accepting of it. He's a cool kid so I just want him to see that too!...

You're definitely not an asshole, just misguided in my opinion. You're trying to help and you actually seem to care, which is more than most people I've met in my life. Stuttering can be improved. Yes...

no prob man. my family was great about it growing up because my dad stuttered too. he mostly grew out of his but i haven't so far. as for relationships with girls, it hasn't hindered that at all, exce...
