I brought it up with my girlfriend friend after a few weeks of us dating and she played it off- said it was cute, wasn't something she ever really noticed. I like that she lets me get through a word,...

Hm, you write "*are* affected by it", and truth be told, due to the fact that I'm fortunate enough to be around nice people, it doesn't affect me much these days. Everyone is patient and understanding...

and, reading the rest of your post, i'm sorry you feel that way, i think the acceptance gets better with time, it's like a large ship that slowly takes time to turn...

I was bullied pretty badly back in high school for it. A group of boys, usually 5-8 of them would corner me and make me say difficult words in order to make stutter. It eventually turned to physical b...

I’m in high school right now, and stuttering is a pain in the ass. However, I’ve come to the point where I don’t really care about it anymore. It’s a part of me I can’t change, so why worry about it? ...

When I was 24 I decided to own it and roll with it. Most importantly, I stopped using it as an excuse for not making as many calls at work (sales). People around me know I stutter and don't think any ...

Early 30s - around the time I had kids. Likely accepted it because I had different things to worry about....

I’m in university and I’ve had similar issues. You know what’s good, everyone has heard you at your worst. Now You don’t need to be super concerned about when u do experience blocks in front of your c...

Mid 20s. It took a long time to accept it, wasn't an overnight change. Just need to understand that the opinions of strangers don't matter. If somebody is the type of person to make fun of your disabi...

You're not the only one who feels this way, fellow redditor. Personally, I view my stuttering as an asset at times because it helps me make friends with certain people. To expand, because I stutter ...

When were you able to accept your stutter?

When were you able to accept your stutter? I try to, and I understand that my life is fucked, but I can't seem to accept it, AND I've had it since I could speak. How did you accept your stutter/stamme...

Primary School can be cruel to a stutterer. The real world doesn't care. Right on....

Thanks friend. I'm 36 and I've just started to believe this in the past few years. It's still hard to accept sometimes but I'm getting there....

The world is more understanding than you think and you are better than you think.

The world is more understanding than you think and you are better than you think. Felt like I should share some thoughts today with anyone willing to listen. I'm 22, have worked in hospitality since 1...

I’d say also take it. It’s a disability in a sense that others make it so not that you are disabled in any way. I have never allowed others to convince me to use my stuttering as a disability but now ...

I feel you man. Making progress in this area is incredibly difficult. Without structure and support, I don't know how anyone can do it. The good news is, you can definitely get rid of the habits you w...

Acceptance does not mean not doing anything to improve. You can accept your stutter and you can also find ways to be more fluent, and communicate better. The two are not mutually exclusive....

Edit: I didn't see that you removed your post. That's unfortunate. What I did not agree with is that you presented your technique as a 'fix' - there is currently no cure for this condition. I agree ...

It is great that it seems to work for you. But, 'take a deep breath' is one of the most common myths about stuttering/stammering. It is neurological! Yes, a deep breath might give relief if you are...

It seems like you already have come to peace with it. As long as you accept it and think there's nothing wrong with it, you're doing good. A stutter is just a characteristic of a person like a lisp....
