If stuttering isn't ok, that means you're not ok. And if you believe you're not ok, that's a rough life to live. Stuttering is definitely ok. If you don't like the way you are stuttering, there are th...

One of biggest fears/insecurities is being perceived by others as incompetent... This directly ties in with how I perceive my own stutter. Stuttering has brought me so much pain, anxiety, and self dou...

I agree 100%. You, I assume, have transcended into the promise land of being comfortable and owning your stutter in public. I’m still at the other end of the spectrum unfortunately (workin on it thoug...

This is very good I think! Especially in the long term, so that the dangerous words lose their dangerousness. Kind of confrontation therapy. I’ll try to do this more often from now on....

Mmh, yes, this sounds true to me. So I guess, in the long term, I could try to deal even with the difficult words and should confront myself with them instead of avoiding them, so that they “lose” the...

On the one hand, I want to be confident about my stutter and not be afraid to say that i am a stutterer and talk about it. On the other hand i don’t want people to think i’m weird or making s huge dea...

Ah, that’s interesting. So I hope you benefit through the post :) Its for me the same. Not the stuttering itself is exhausting but keeping it under control. Maybe the key to not being so exhausted is ...

Very true. I almost want to track down a speech therapist to see if I could improve... Then I remember that a stutter cannot be cured, and I turn into Eeyore, like "Why bother?" ​ And I t...

It will get much better when you have become an authority on your product too. Meaning anyone “new” has a lot to learn about their job but you have to master it in sales. Even if you stutter the confi...

Oh okay I get it now, I'm stupid lol. Don't write all your things down LMAO. Own it up with confidence....

Hmm fair enough. I can see why some would find this cute. I don't know how he will take this compliment though so what you are planning to do is a good approach. I am not sure how I would react if so...

Not weird at all. It is a very common annoyance to many however. I should clarify, if it is someone who I don't know, I laugh it off. If it is someone I do know and they do know I stutter, I find it ...

Am I weird for not caring of people do that? As long as they're not wrong, it really doesn't bother me....

I am kind of miffed that I am not allowed to say that I would appreciate it if my date told me that she finds my stutter cute. Why? I have a stutter, and I would like that. Am I not allowed to? I ...

I used to date a girl who told me she found my stutter cute and it was great to hear that. It happened like 2 years ago and I still remember it, made me feel great...

It really depends on who says it! :) I have a stutter myself - over forty years - and I appreciate it when someone special tells me that she finds my stutter cute. Other people? Not so much. Also, ...

The advice here is all solid and I don't have much to add. I want to ask you a question though: why do you think a stutter is cute? I have heard this before and I cannot understand why anyone would fi...

Since the beginning of our relationship my boyfriend has always told me he finds it cute. He's the only person that can say so without me feeling dragged down, cause I know he understands what stutter...
