You're dead wrong. I've been where you are. Hopeless of any chance of leading a normal life or of being even remotely happy. The only person reducing your worth is you. Quit blaming your stutter &am...

Convince me this is not a lower standard of living.

Convince me this is not a lower standard of living. After my last post on here I'm still not convinced that it's all in my head. So far I think it's quite the opposite. I think there is a significa...

I should clarify. That deaf girl thing was advice for another poster with a stutter, but it might as well have been me. There were multiple top comments like that on there, that told him to to date de...

I haven't quit. In fact everyone else has cause I'm the only one here who is willing to admit the significant quality of life diminished by stuttering. To me it seems like everyone else has drank the ...

This comment in particular is the one I was referencing: https://www.reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/5f51rq/i_am_a_loser_i_just_cant_break_this_cycle/dahnqct/ I didn't see the one suggesting deaf women,...

What I have to say is that, even though I have a stutter, that doesn't stop me from being myself and showing how much I can accomplish. I'm an activism in secular values and through that, I've gained ...

Your thoughts are only electrical impulses, reality is you're only holding yourself back. When you're in a mindset like you're experiencing now, it's hard to see that this is the truth. But it is, I w...

Very good post croagunk... My stuttering was terrible in my '20's, but I was fine with it. I had plenty of friends and girlfriends. I think they said to themselves " if he doesn't care I don't eith...

Hi. I have been through how you feel and even now there are moments when I get anxious or depressed because of my stuttering. But here's the thing you can be an efficient communicator despite your stu...

I don't think it's your stutter that makes people nervous or uncomfortable. I have a severe stutter. When I struggle a lot and feel frantic and ashamed while talking, other people feel nervous and unc...

Yea maybe Lincoln isn't relatable to a kid. LOL, but look what he did, and brought the states back together in spite of this. Pretty Cool Dude if you ask me!...

Ok fair enough. Like I said before it's likely GABA system related. GABA is the break mechanism in the CNS. However, someone who stutters should not think something needs to be fixed. DON'T EVER f wit...

Some big actor's have stutters also - Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Samuel L Jackson. Hopefully those will be easier to convince him of their importance :)...

Thank you!! We try not to focus on it, apart from when we are going through the exercises his speech therapist has given us and of course we have explained that it is nothing for him to be ashamed of....

Yea I lived through this. My advice is don't feed it. The more you shine a spotlight in it the more it grows. Talk to him low key in a safe environment, non-threating. What he needs to know is great...
