Yeah our society is really messed up when it comes to our crippling condition. Speech is so important, no other animal nearly has a way of communication more complicated and ours. To speak is to be hu...

I agree, I really don’t know why it’s seen as okay for us to be belittled and made fun of. I feel like I’d be unstoppable if I could speak normally....

I’m sorry to hear that you suffer from a severe stutter as well but at the same time it’s so nice to hear I’m not alone in this. What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking? I relate a lot, ...

At my first job interviews I was blatantly told I couldn’t be hired because of my stuttering, then my first couple of jobs I was treated like I was stupid or slow by coworkers due to my stuttering. Yo...

Yeah, and the non stutterers don't see that as a major life obstacle. Walk with a severe limp, they say poor guy or girl, but severe speech, no big deal, could be worse... Society....🥲...

Most people don’t understand it but letting them know for sure helps them know you just stutter and you’re not stupid. And the reason you didn’t get called back could be literally anything but you’re ...

Great advice - be open about it before interview. Better dont apply to a call centre, cashier, salesman etc. I honestly dont know if being open about it would help - I mean sure it can cause less stre...

I've tried to educate people, it's only causes more frustration. For example, I would have a few fluency moments, and then they would say- see? You can talk good when you want to . Then say, it could...

U are right. I don't care what anybody says. Its the worst thing to have. At least people pity deaf and blind people. We cant speak and speaking is the most important skill to have in order to succeed...

i think its the elementary schoolmates make sures that "We remember that we stammer" for whole life....

I went on the McGuire Program a few years ago and to be honest I thought it was a cult. It reminds me very much of a pyramid scheme, as all of the coaches are former students of the program and aren...

Am I the Asshole for Insulting my Dad

Am I the Asshole for Insulting my Dad **Am I the asshole for insulting my dad?** I’m 13, and ever since I was born, my dad has been *stuttering on purpose*. He doesn’t have a real stutter — I do. I’v...

Stop being toxic positive. Mostly it gets worse . Effective communication is the most important part for human relationships. Imagine getting old and bunch of kids laugh at you...

Your viewpoints were valid as with hers ignoring the personal insults directed at you. I am willingly to bet stuttering men are seen as more incompetent or at least get punished for the perception at ...

Yeah I hope you can digest the reality though, men get the end of the stick when it comes to disabilities and mental health based on our gender norms and what we value in each gender....

Yeah I see your point, I don’t think they will. They are the ones pushing there is a major difference. Ironically, it would be much worse for men on many more aspects of life. I am willingly to bet we...

Yeah, but I am willing to bet it’s actually less socially acceptable for men to stutter on many more fronts and their prosecution is more harsh. If I am wrong, I am wrong and it’s not meant as an atta...

I can’t say this with certainty but don’t hate my comment at first glance. I think socially, especially in intimate relationships and for job security stuttering tends to be worse for me due to gender...

Oh yeah, absolutely. I was the fifth wheel – if even. My two "friends" (who never deserved that label) were entertaining themselves and I was ignored, sometimes shamed. For me, this continued with sev...

There is a cop in my hometown socastee South Carolina that literally can’t get a word out his speech is so bad...
