Cool and positive post, respect for that. But that "stuttering- a blessing" thing doesn't sound realistic, at least to me...

Stuttering- A Blessing!

Stuttering- A Blessing! Roughly, 70-76 million people across the globe struggle with their speech. This comprises roughly 1% of the entire population. Woah! That's quite a small figure, statistically....

Thanks for sharing man. A big turning point for me was accepting that even if I woke up tomorrow without a stutter, my life would still be full of challenges just like everyone else. Also realizing th...

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. I can appreciate that it took a lot of emotional energy to write. It struck a nerve with me, and I wondered if we could talk about it for a minute h...

It's already been said here, but you need to accept your stutter and just talk. The reason why a lot of people stutter is because every time they talk, they think "oh man, I might stutter," and sure a...

Perhaps two themes to ponder in the meantime: 1 - we do not wish to be _perfect_, because that's an impossible criteria. We merely wish to be _understood_ and to carry out the communication, whatever...

I'm going to be blunt with you, because I feel like you need to hear it and understand it: **Don't avoid stuttering.** It's unhealthy for you to keep going on as you do, as is clear from the way you...

I completely understand this feeling and I am really sorry that your hope has left you. I always try and remember that if I didn't stutter, something in my life would make me just as unhappy. Humans a...

I think with stuttering, each individual had to find their own way to ease their stutter. Deep inhales for me cause more blocks and panic. I've kind of taught myself to get as far as I can in a senten...

Stuttering on my Own Name

Stuttering on my Own Name I have learned over the years to not let my stuttering stop me from social situations, but I still find it extremely funny that my own name starts with sounds that are a big ...

Thank you so much! They were some dark times indeed, but when I look back I see that I learned from them and I going to keep pushing until I reach my full potential. Thank you for your encouraging w...

The vicious thing with stuttering is that it is often a self-enforcing loop. When you stutter, you feel bad and can get a little bit insecure. This can lead to more stutters because you feel worse. It...

Thank you so much for such a kind is response. I really needed some reassurance like this about it and i appreciate it so much. At first I was really freaking out but I’ve started to accept it more an...

> My therapist says that if i control my anxiety i will not stutter. That's not true. Which therapist is this? You stutter because you have a stutter. It's not because there's something you're do...

Lucky me, I’m female and in my 40’s. I stutter. Always have. Just recently I have begun to accept myself for who I am....

Thanks. I hope it gets better. I don’t hope that my stutter goes away but that I’m able to accept it cause right now I’m not. I thought I had accepted it but apparently not. My self esteem has been al...

It definitely did help me man, thank you. I’m still learning to deal with it because it may never go away. Gotta learn to embrace it as opposed to hating myself for having it....

Does stuttering make you who you are?

Does stuttering make you who you are? I'm interested in your opinions on this topic. I would give credit to my stutter for me being more composed, quiet, smart, subtle sort of a guy. Many girls liked ...

I like to think of my stutter as a relationship, sort of similar to one you might have with your pet. Depending on the day, your stutter can range from being bad to being unnoticeable depending on you...

If it bothers someone, it’s on them not you

If it bothers someone, it’s on them not you When I moved to London one of my first jobs was working in door to door charity “sales” (it’s a weird job and I quit after 3 weeks but that’s not the point)...
