Thank you all. And yes, as you say Claypigeon, i'am drawing my lack-of-value from my stutter, and this is the problem, despite my efforts (i have a job, hobbies, some friends), my stuttering has the s...

I don't feel any shame, nor should any of us. Yes, it's embarrassing at times, but i don't let the embarrassment ruin my day. If people really aren't going to listen or respect me because I stutter, t...

You're currently drawing your lack-of-value from your stutter. In an ideal world, you'd realize that your value is intrinsic, and your stutter can't touch it. That's probably a long way off, so start ...

I suggest improving other parts of your life in order to improve self confidence. Exercise, healthy eating, learning, hobbies, whatever it may be. Concentrating and becoming very good at your interest...

It doesn't DEFINE your personality, or who you are. It's only a part of it, even if it is severe. You still have things to say, don't let the fact that it takes longer for your to say them hold you ba...

Hey buddy. Don't get yourself down about stuttering. Just think of all the ways its a positive too. Sure it impacts our ability to communicate. But anytime we can speak fluently just remember the feel...

I would define myself as a stutterer, but I don't let my stutter define me in the way that it would put me or my life in a box. When you google "define" this is what you get... Define: verb 1. state...

That's because you let your stutter define you. It is what you believe it to be. "I think, therefore I am". - René Descartes. ...

It defines me alright . I'm a severe stutterer and I've noticed a big change when I'm not trying to hide my stutter i.e. pretending that it's not there at all. It might me less for others but I ...

Does your hair color define you? Or the fact that your right arm is a little longer than your right? I agree that it's definitely a piece of the whole, but your stutter is not what defines you....

I don't agree with this at all. Your stutter defines you , yes it may be very hard to accept but that's the truth. The more you'll hide from it the more you'll suffer...

Part of what makes stuttering hard to deal with is all the thoughts we can have about it - that lead pretty much nowhere, since stuttering continues to elude us. It's not a very meaningful phenomenon,...

I wouldn't put it in your profile or anything, it doesn't define you. I don't think you need to mention it before either, let the person get to know you naturally. If they make a big deal about it the...

I didn't want to respond to any posts in this thread but I feel the need to respond to this one. You think you are the way you are because you stutter. What you do not realize is you stutter because ...

Obviously we have problems other than our stuttering. In my case, stuttering is the root cause for those additional problems. Everyone's experience with stuttering is different, Some people have amaz...

My stuttering habit is very slight, actually... but even so, I've lived my entire adult life in the USA alone. Recently, I've discovered that my personality fits in much better overseas. I see in all ...

I have also done that. For years and years, the only television I watched was British television over the internet... and I gained a sincere admiration for that society's brand of intellectualism. I w...

I always get kind of mad when shit like this comes to the sub. Almost more mad than "i stutter, [insert deppressive shit]" post. Im 25, extremely comfortable with my stuttering, but i still stutter a...

It's a great book. However I've met the author of it during a stuttering workshop and he still stutters....

It is possible to overcome stuttering and speak fluently.

It is possible to overcome stuttering and speak fluently. Once you stop seeing stuttering as "I am the way I am because I stutter" and see it as "I stutter because I am the way I am" you can start to ...
