In my experience, my stutter has actually filtered out some potential dates. Most that are accepting proved to be kind and thoughtful people. The others that have reacted poorly proved to be unkind...

Never stop being open and honest about it. The vast majority are understanding, and those that aren’t are not worth your time. You’re brave and I look up to you!...

I just got a job at a fast food place and I found this text from my manager really reassuring. I told him I was hesitant to do drive thru due to my stutter and he is okay with it!

It makes sense. I remember back when I was a kid getting mad at the fact that I stuttered. I was young and didn’t realize that understanding that being okay that I stutter is the first step to improvi...

First of all, things will get better. Moods affect the stutter a lot. My stutter actually decreased a lot in my senior year of high school because I really started to accept my stutter as a part of wh...
