Funny thing is im a stutterer and i do all those things. Sometimes we use the stutter as an excuse, personally I've made a promise to never let my stutter stop me from doing anything. This leads to ...

As someone that has been in your shoes, I know how it is. I am 22 now, in school I really didn't talk much because of my stuttering and it led me to not communicate to people as much as I liked. In hi...

I've always seen stuttering as my biggest weakness and so, paradoxically, pursued jobs where communication is key. Worked as a journalist for a year, got promoted to editor, then went corporate in a g...

You got dealt a bad hand at birth. But not the worst hand. I would take my stutter over being blind, deaf, missing a limb, being paralysed, autism, and every terminal illness. I would take a stutte...

Your last line is exactly what I'm getting at in the post. The problem with the negative posts on here is that the replies to them are nearly all negative also. There's so many contradictions to what ...

You're getting annoyed at how other people might see you though, no? I was in your position. One of these days I'm going to post a video just to show the severity. I was gone beyond the line of "not b...
