I just want to say thank you for helping others here. Or I thought I did, but I also want to say thank you for posting this. I try to do the same, though when I'm down I tend to reach out to a close f...

Great post! I'll be starting a job soon which will involve speaking almost daily in front of small groups. I've done this before at work, albeit in a different, more familiar environment. I'm fluent...

No one wants to stutter, my dude. We can sulk and brood and cry about it, but that gets us nowhere. *We are the captains of our own ships*. If you're scared of rejection, get rejected. Realize it's no...

The 2018 Stuttering New Years Challenge

The 2018 Stuttering New Years Challenge Some of you may know me from the Discord, so you've probably already heard this. A lot of us have issues with avoidance and anxiety. Many of us don't use our vo...

I’m sorry you had such a sucky day. Getting hung up on hurts. Here’s a blankie and some hot cocoa. Snuggle up and retreat. I hope that when the sun rises tomorrow your spirits rise with it and you...

These feelings really suck.. and most of us have it at some point, but we must SURVIVE these situations (not excel at them, just survive) and believe in improvement. I believe a stutterer reaches succ...

I absolutely feel this. I've had people laugh and it just makes you want to crawl under a rock and never speak again. All you can do is take care of yourself tonight and remember that tomorrow is a ne...

I think about it pretty often. I think i would be quiet even without a stutter. I've had a stutter since i was 6-7 years old, it got a bit better over the years and now it's a mild one. I rarely stutt...

Stutter can be embarrassing, I know that feeling myself. No one ever wants to embarrass his or her, but it happens. My advice would be that he shouldn’t be embarrassed around you when stuttering. You’...

People dont care about you/respect when you give a shit, when you dont give a shit people admire the amount of strength it takes to not care and just live without any excuses....

Dude, you’re allowed to be human. Life sucks sometimes and it knocked you down. I’m glad you reached out. You’re not alone. It sounds like you’ve pinpointed what you want to change- relationships....

I know, it's weird right? It just happened naturally over time, I guess. If it helps, my first conversation with her was during volleyball practice, so I guess you just have to put yourself out there....

No problem man. Keep trying, do online dating, improve yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are. This is something I am actively trying to do for myself. I recently had a 7 month relation...

I have a unique take on your situation. I am an only child and of course I grew up with a mild stutter. I have experienced loneliness my entire life. Stuttering never held me back completely but it ha...

Seems like you’re down in the dumps man. I can sympathize with the feeling of loneliness because of your stutter. I stutter too! I’m 24, and I can’t say that ever feel lonely. Stuttering can make it f...

I have a decent enough stutter. It’s definitely noticeable, but I wouldn’t say it’s utterly devastating. I struggled with confidence my entire life due to it. It really held me back and honestly, it s...

Sign language is awesome. If that will help you get out of your shell, go for it. Same with tech. Some people use tech to speak for them because it they can’t. I would also recommend simultaneousl...

Woo hoo!! Jumping up and down so I’m very over the top excited for you!!!! That is awesome and amazing!!! You showed courage and you walked through your fear!!!!! I’m so glad you shared here. You ins...

I hope you get a 2nd date, seems like you gained confidence from the first, I'm sure the more you do it the more you will improve, I'm hoping this can be a lesson for me to start getting dates :)...

Thanks for the advice, these are all helpful things I should think about in-depth and ask myself. I wanna try to bring up my stutter with a close friend; that would probably be beneficial. I just woul...
