Those are the kind of posts I like in this sub, not the self-deprecating and self-limiting memes, which only reinforce your (seemingly futile) struggle to speak freely. Congratulations! :)...

We all love memes

We all love memes But stutterers need memes that show a breakthrough in their impediment. Times when they haven’t stuttered. I personally have improved on my own purely cause I take in the victories w...

Whatever. If you enjoy having memes that make us stutterers look like defeatists then go right ahead. I am gonna continue to try and bring up other stutterers cause that’s what they need to end their ...

It’s about feeling uplifted. Not laughing at yourself. That will make stutterers more fluent. End of story. Besides having someone that always wants to laugh is annoying as holy hell....

The other guy said “oh but those aren’t funny though”. It’s good we have humor but if you keep it up some may laugh themselves into a joke. Which is dangerous as a stutterer. I didn’t become more flue...

Good you have a sense of humor. But don’t laugh yourself into a joke. Especially as a stutterer. I didn’t get fluent by myself by laughing at instances when I stuttered. I got better because I claimed...

I think that people who have completely overcame the stutter have left it in their past life, buried it deep, moved on and never looked back. My sister overcame it in her 20s by never letting it get i...

22 here, and it's best to just role with it. The toughest thing about stuttering is getting your own self past it. Good practice for this is to just head to a popular mall and ask the workers question...

I prefer to taste my fav drink than to not stutter. Those cashier people have prob met a stutterer in their life. Who gives a shit if I stutter. Come to think of it it's something I heard adults say ...

That's a real blessing. I don't know if you can, but if so I'd try to go back to either not noticing or not caring about it. Fuck all those jerks and anyone who might laugh. You were being yourself an...

I understand how you feel. It’s like no one knows what to think when you stutter and some people can’t hide their reactions. However, I’m 23 now and I’ve become desensitized to people’s reactions. But...
