My stutter has lessened the older I got and it is much better now I'm in my twenties. Confidence and maintaining a moderately good lifestyle helped me. It takes work but I pushed myself out of my com...

I also used to face these and it had ruined my school days. I am 21 now. Let me tell you that I used to read aloud articles and practice my speech quite sometimes. I didn't see results. But then, I ...

Probably more naive and inconsiderate about a lot of things. This speech disorder, although not preferable whatsoever, has made me realise a great deal of things about life and the subject of disabili...

Ah, yes, I see. A matter of potential - time better spent elsewhere. I can follow that. My own paraphrasing went something like: If you imagine a different version of you, you're essentially destroyi...

Sure. If you constantly dream of a life without a stutter, you are essentially wasting your time. This in turn leads you to being depressed and angry with your life. You may become suicidal, like I wa...
