I love it! Takes guts for anyone to get up on stage, especially with a stutter...I can say I wouldn’t have the nerve to do it, so much respect and admiration for someone like yourself. James Earl Jone...

This makes me so happy to read that the conversation went well! This can be a really difficult conversation to have, but it really shows you who the other person is! I remember having this conversatio...

update: i told him and things went great he actually didn’t even really notice it :) i love this reddit so much everyone in here is so supportive and thank you so much again!...

As a general rule, you care so much more about your speech than other people do. Yes, there are jerks, but most “off put” reactions are just the product of people not knowing how to react. Tell him ...

BE BOLD be yourself! You're probably an awesome person WITH your stutter, show them just that :D...

You got this! Don’t get panicked when you stutter, it’s a much bigger deal to you than it is to other people....

U got this man, just remember to be nice to urself even if u do stutter, we are human lol we ain’t perfect 💯...

You shouldn't embrace your stuter. Accept that you're stutter and work on fixing it....

I’m a person who stutters and I do identify as disabled and do consider my stutter a disability. I also know other folks who stutter who neither identify as disabled nor think stuttering is a disabili...

Why not both? Odds are you won't be able to eliminate it, but that doesn't mean you can't improve. Think of it as a chronic condition. It will be with you forever, but it is manageable. Get good at ma...

God gave people a stutter for a reason. He made everyone perfect according to his image. It is not a disability. Not in his eyes....

My mum is the most loving, but I think my father likes me as well. About school, i experienced bullying and that made my stutter worse but the real problem about stuttering isn't what caused it, it's ...

That's a nice way to put it. "My stutter is a disability but I don't see myself as a person who is disabled." I guess, we could just replace 'disabilities' to 'these abilities' :)...

Eeeeeeeee (softly, gently prolonging my first syllable) as I ease into what I want to s-s-say (fake stutter, so I can stop trying to NOT stutter). It’s all a lie. Stuttering really does NOT preven...

this \^ - if you can find a way to stop worrying about it, it won't go away but you'll surround yourself with people who don't care - people who won't be friends with you because of a stutter are not ...

My advice is to quit seeing yourself as someone who needs to be fixed. We speak different, but we are not broken. Once you accept the way you speak as part of who you are, then others will begin to ac...

Went on a podcast ...

Went on a podcast ... So, had to share this little win today. Oddly enough during this pandemic, my speech has improved. There's still a stutter, but this is the best it's been in a while. Knock on wo...

I agree. I think fully accepting your stutter and never working to improve it, seems like a forfeit. We all subconsciously try to sound as fluent as we can. Yet you cannot improve your stutter if you ...

Accepting yourself and your stutter, and working to improve it are not incompatible ideas. Each side often needs the other....

The best thing I ever did was when I finally accepted that it would never go away and this is something I just have to live with. It took therapy and a support group for stutterers to make me accept i...
