Medical doctor, working in the NHS, UK. There was a time when I thought a “real” doctor shouldn’t be “broken”, that patients wouldn’t take someone like me seriously if I can’t speak perfectly. That ...

This was me! I dreaded presentations even days before it but for some reason I would always ask the teacher for me to go first! I hate the panic attacks/anxiety so I needed to relieve myself by just g...

I’m from South India (Andhra Pradesh). Over the years, I’ve worked in quite a few different fields — as a Cyber Security Analyst on a SOC project, on full-stack development projects, and even as a Jun...

Such a inspiration! I’m a new grad and I stutter so I feel stressed to start as a nurse. I know there are lots of nurses who have a stutter and they dont let it get in the way of their career....

Nurse here! Just graduated. Looking for a job. I love to see that there are a lot of nurses on here that continue to do their job regardless of their stutter. Anyone who willingly chooses to go out ...

I found dungeons and dragons very therapeutic for my speech.

I found dungeons and dragons very therapeutic for my speech. I found a D&D group on a D&D Facebook page a few years ago, and it has had a profound impact on my speech. When I'm playing, my quirks, dis...

Despair is nothing more than the absence of light. It doesn't even exist under his own violation. Team Positive unite!...

One day when you finally start doing exactly what I've described above and you're life changes for the better, you'll look back on your present life and think 'wow that guy on Reddit was right.' I loo...

I totally agree with all the things you mentioned and i was exactly the person you mentioned 1 year ago but since last year, I've been putting some effort into changing it and push myself out of my co...

To reply to your link (which I saw before, I love the Oatmeal’s work). Maybe I’ve used the wrong words. I guess I meant content? Not utterly miserable, you know, not wanting to not exist? Happiness is...

Life isn't that bad there are people with other disability living a happy life , you can atleast move and go around, explore new place and shit . Life gets better...

Wow, that is horrible. Porky was one I loved as a kid too, in spite of my stutter. He didn't make me feel self conscious for some reason (similar things normally would). With that said, I don't think ...

I am puzzled by the downvotes on your post and comments. We all share different degrees of this struggle, and those of us who were emotionally wrecked or paralyzed by shame and grief earlier in our li...

Social skills take practice. We only get better at being social by engaging in lots of social activities. If we feel awkward because of our personalities or speech barriers then it's likely we will fe...

I could have written your post myself. I'm an outlier on this sub from what I've heard. Not many women are stutterers (I didn't know). Attitude helps a lot. Being simple able to say, no matter how slo...

You are right that toxic positivity means emotional avoidance, pretending everything is fine when it is not, or dismissing someone’s real struggles. I lived that life of misery. But what I am talking ...

It’s not your stutter that’s ruining your life, it’s your attitude

It’s not your stutter that’s ruining your life, it’s your attitude I’ve had a stutter my whole life. I’ve been bullied for it, mocked for it, rejected for it, and left out because of it. You name some...

Accountability Journal

Accountability Journal I need to journal but I have trouble keeping myself accountable so I'll just do it on here: 9/6: - stuttered in work biology bcuz I was not confident - speech improved through...

There is no formula to stuttering or dating, thats incel thinking and it'll do a lot more harm to your ability to be happy, make friends, or date than any disability. The truth is I and a ton of peop...
