I understand what you're saying. I've never spoken with or even come into contact with a female stutterer. I've always stuck to the belief that my stutter is a good barometer of others' character. E...

Maybe it is just the people I've talked with, but dating and the reaction of parents were huge differences. The best example I can think of is how women tend to find men who stutter "endearing" becaus...

Not a woman, but I'm curious. What differences do you feel you've experienced as a woman with a stutter compared to a man?...

Creepy indeed. I understand that most people aren't exposed to stuttering on the daily, and I definitely don't blame them as individuals for not getting it. Stuttering awareness in general needs to i...

If someone doesn't know I stutter (such as an interviewer for a job), I always disclose. We will stutter until we can change our perspectives of our superiors. I havent been able to break down that ba...

I'm in a fraternity and have a stutter, and all of my brothers are aware of that and it's not a big deal at all. Don't worry about your stutter separating you from fitting in or anything like that; on...

Does anybody have trouble saying their name? So as a kid, like many of the posters I've read about on this subreddit, I used to have a severe stutter. After going to speech therapy a few times and ju...

What is this self depreciating mindset you have of yourself? And thinking "Oh she's too good for me" is stupid. Improve yourself so you get to the point where you're more or less equal to her. Just ...

Several years ago, I was fluent in my dreams. However, as I accepted my situation (or it might be because my stutter worsened in real life), I began stuttering in my dreams as well. It has been that w...

It is possible the belief, conscious or not, that "I can't overcome it" or "I am a stutterer" is an anchor holding us back? For those that have become fluent that I have read about, I wonder where the...

I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. Since stuttering has strong genetic links and it's safe to assume that there is something different in how stutterers process linguistic rhythm, it ma...
