It’s true. It does. It’s thehuman condition to reject truth when it’s so contrary to something you believe is impossible. I’ve know a few people who stutter and I can’t explain it, it makes me feel at...

Not trying to be argumentative, but it seems like the same could be said for any attribute of yours, from the size of your nose to something less tangible like an accent. I can't change the physical ...

Yes. They might actually “like” my stutter, but I didn’t ask for their opinion on it, and I can’t change whether or not I stutter anyway, so whether they like it or not is irrelevant....

There was this one really good-looking girl who said my stutter was cute and kinda sexy. I absolutely didn't believe her, but then I married her a while back, and she's still saying it, so I guess may...

I had someone tell me it‘s cute, I didn‘t really care and thought it was nice that they were seeing it in a better way than I dealt with it. I was always so hard on myself and that made me think that ...

I’ve always felt like they were patronizing me. Telling me how likeable it was when in reality it will just be a ploy used by everyone around me to use against me, eventually.Seeing how differently I ...

Personally I have a voice crack at the end of a lot of my sentences, or blocks. 20 F here not a pubescent boy- lol. But my husband pointed it out when we first started talking and I was mortified b/c ...

You definitely should not be treated differently. And if that's what people think because of how you speak, then that's their issue, not yours. Presence of a stutter does not equate unintelligence. ...
