same boat tbh. it’s exhausting to try to hide your real voice from everybody. i’ve only opened up to a small number of people but mostly every time i’ve had to tell somebody it’s been a positive exper...

“If you can live through a childhood of stuttering, you can live through anything. And if you go into adulthood still stuttering, you can handle anything… You have been tempered by the fire.”

Damn, this is so relatable. I have a mild to moderate block that tends to heighten in scenarios that make me nervous or second guess my speech (aka taking food to a table and saying the names of said ...

Definitely! I’m currently studying a law degree which obviously has a huge public speaking aspect to it but I refuse to let my stutter dictate my life in any way, which I think has been a really helpf...

I feel that if I didn't stutter, I would have presented myself differently in school. I would have given presentations and raised my hand to speak more. It always frustrated me that I had so many thou...

I strongly agree! I checked out the chapter closest to me (it was a 30 min drive but worth it) and I met a really great leader who introduced me to an amazing Speech Therapist who has really helped me...

I have habits of being covert, and have most of my life. I struggled a lot during in school. I didn't talk much, even in college. It have just recently decided to seek help to start accept myself. I m...

I think that you can do whatever job you want! I'm a graduate student and my professor has a pretty severe stutter and he is one of the most knowledgeable, engaging, and interesting professors I've ev...

You can do it! I make a living doing voice over work and I stutter! I think of it like speech therapy and it really helps me with my fluency IRL!...

I think if you want to do it you’ll find a way to. There are different types of radio shows that expect different things from their hosts....

Be yourself. If she doesn't like you for who you are, it's not worth it. Also, be confident. If you see she starts getting confused, just tell her you stutter and act like it's no big deal...

After a while you kinda got used to it, which is why joking about it is probably the "most convenient" way to deal with it. Doesn't stop me from thinking bad thoughts about the individual though, alon...

Your stutter will show a vulnerability that many women may find endearing. Especially if it is only a moderate stutter. For real, if someone can make a decision on your worth simply by the way you t...

I don't disagree. Maybe it's a coping strategy but I've always tried to look at it that it makes me a more emotionally strong person....

Yeah, I feel like I would be really confident just because I stutter and am used to awkward situations. I can't imagine being too shy to ask a waiter about something as any speaking is as stressful t...

Nah adults do that too. I know my dad calls me a dj because of my stutter and at one point my stutter was pretty bad that my coworkers would say that i sounded like an alien beam when i would say w-w-...

I’m a senior in high school and I completely understand where you’re coming from. It is really fucking rough but anybody worth talking to will understand that your words still deserve to be heard even...

Lmaooooo. I have a girlfriend too, and I never stammer around her and it’s the best feeling...

If she really loves you and she is a good person she’ll accept you with the stutter ....
