Stuttering is tough. I used to let fear dominate my life. Fear of speaking gave me anxiety yada yada yada. Try to replace the fear with fun. I know that sounds crazy but try to lighten up. We stutter ...

That just sucks. Sorry I've got nothing to recommend, and if I did you've probably already tried it. In my 20s I was very "woe is me" regarding my minor stutter. I was going through some other crap...

This is what life is all about, trying to overcome obstacles. Even if you never succeed you can't ever give up. But I know it's frustrating as hell. People who don't stutter can't relate or understand...

I might come off as insensitive, but, please, stop whining. I'm sure you've already tried everything to stop stuttering, even on the phone. Since it doesn't help you're left with 2 options - you eithe...

You can't give up! Our tyrannical fluent overlords will never make it easy, but you can't pack it in. Life with a stutter is difficult but not impossible. Employers value results and will not care abo...

Keep going, never give up! I stutter too, but I can't let it stop me. I won't give in because of one little stammer. You can't let it control you. REMEMBER, YOU'RE IN CONTROL. NOT THE STUTTER....

Nah but, there is really no point in thinking in what could have caused your stutter as a child (it most likely did not), you can't go back and change it anyway so it is best to think of what you can ...
