I had to stop trying to mask it. The techniques I was using sounded worse than the stutter. I'm almost 40 and have been stuttering my whole life. I have a family with kids. My daughters have slight sp...

My stutter means that every interaction I have is real. I can't hide my imperfection. It means I care much less about other imperfections. It makes me more compassionate and empathetic to others....

It's funny that you throw out 30 as a milestone. I'll be 30 soon. And my acceptance of my stutter has improved a lot since I was \~20. I had a tough year my junior year at college when I was interning...

>we have it better than some people. Yes, we have it worse than most but it could be worse. It's just that you make it good or bad by overthinking it. To me, Stuttering is not a flaw in us, it's w...

If I wasn't a stammer myself, I would never guess you have such a problem. Great job! Such a pleasant and calm voice, nice timber, and a fluent rhythm. Kind of jealous :D...
