I've found that most people in public are empathic to a stutter but it depends on how you do it. If you stutter like its no biggie, most people will look past it. I know some people might just wonder...

John Glenn married a woman with a severe stutter. Honestly, a woman who stuttered openly and freely would be very attractive to me. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are less because you stutter...

As a stutterer myself, being with another stutterer either girl or boy would probably create a comfort-zone. To know that that live with the same tic and that you can take your time to stutter a sente...

But that doesn’t mean I don’t go through lows. I’ll have a bad block and it gets to me sometimes. But the point remains, I have this. It’s part of who I am but it’s not all I am. It’s just a little p...

I feel your pain. Something very important that is taught in speech therapy is acceptance. Accepting that you have this problem and making peace with it is much more productive than loathing it. Own...

I went to a support group last night for the first time and it was nice—obviously people talked about their stutters but it also felt like a nice community; lots of people have been going for years. I...

More mature? No, I can't say so. I don't think I'll ever really "grow up". An introvert? Nope. I actually don't like that label - I think some people rely on it too much. - I speak and I stutter. T...
