Disabilities Do Not Define a Person

Disabilities Do Not Define a Person I want to address something I see a lot in discussions about stuttering and other disabilities: the idea that having a disability makes someone “less than” or unabl...

In my case, I gotten closer to God because of it. This stutter is like a radar to find out who is an A-hole, who is new to the term or is accepting of it...

It’s less common I girls apparently. To overcome it, I think the most important thing is to not seek perfection. You stutter and that’s okay, you don’t own anyone fluency (and people who make you fee...

Being rejected is proof that you were brave enough to try. If you get rejected, you'll be stronger than people that don't try. I know, it's scary as hell. I've been there. What if it doesn't work ou...

And dude that’s okay. Maybe now isn’t the right time. Obviously I’m not pushing you to do anything you’re uncomfortable with. I think my main point is to not assume the worst with these sorts of thing...

Thanks for boosting my confidenceit really means a lot that you believe in me. But I have to be honest: I’m not in a place where I can accept rejection. If things don’t work out with her, I’d rather l...

I’m also gay. I don’t stutter but I find men who do very attractive, especially when a guy rolls through it and keeps going. It shows me two things: 1. He doesn’t let challenges keep him from accompl...

Here’s my take on this situation. Confidence is more important than anything. Do you know that she thinks less of people who are short or overweight or stutter? Shoot your shot man. If she doesn’t...

I'm a stutterer and Muslim. O Allah the only one worth praising, I never blamed him. He created me from nothing, among all that hadn't created, I'm a chosen one. He could've created me as a rock; not...

I'm not that bothered about getting into a relationship, as long as my stutter is about 70 80% fluent I wouldn't stress over it....

Self-acceptance is the absolute key. The more you avoid speaking and keep beating yourself up about the way you speak things are never going to get better. If anything, they will keep getting a lot wo...

I'm not religious at all, but isn't God's whole thing giving people tough battles? I mean, I don't want to overstep, but wouldn't this be another battle that all people with this disability have to su...

Hi I feel like you are way over complicating things. Stuttering is not good or evil. It just “is”. The key to fluency is relaxing. I feel like it is harder to do that if you label it evil or if ...

I feel excluded from humanity

I feel excluded from humanity with each passing day, I see how horrible, disgusting, cruel, and unfair this world is. Why are some people condemned to live through hell on earth while others seem to h...

To the guys who think they'll never find love because they stutter Hey, I just wanted to share something that’s been on my heart lately. I’ve been reading through this subreddit and I’ve seen a few po...

I think thesolution would be more me not minding my stutter than finding someone who doesn't mind...

To tell someone to just be positive after losing a parent is incredibly hurtful, and it is NOT what is going on here. It is perfectly understandable to be distraught after losing a loved one. What is...

It made my life hell growing up and when I was in my nation's Army as a Combat Medic/Paratrooper. Now I'm at the point in my life where I can stutter and not really care. I'm currently an adjunct prof...
