Hi Pansyhunter. Your story resonates well with me. I used to be a very talented covert stutterer in high school (I was the king of word substitution). But in college, I have had to regularly introduce...

The right person won't care if you stutter, as they will be more patient and of course, they will be in love with you. My now ex-gf didn't care about my stutter, we just broke up for different reasons...

I'm a 38-year-old woman and I have a moderate stutter but I have gone through periods when it was quite severe. I actually do a lot of voice-over work now! I'm always looking for new stuttering pals!...

I wish everyone here could just do the McGuire Programme, there would be so many less questions about what is stuttering, why is it so weird, how come I can't say this, etc. Since my first course I literally don't have those thoughts ever again and stuttering and how to control it is now so obvious.

I have a slight stutter, not much but it comes from a neurological disorder. Have you ever heard of a guy called Drew Lynch? He's my all-time favourite comedian and he has a stutter. Drew had an accid...

I think the best way to not give a fuck about what people think is to just own it. You have a stutter, it is what it is. It doesn't define you, it's just something you have. Instead of being afraid of...

Nice, but changing the words doesn't help you at all. It's just a way of avoiding your stutter instead of facing the fact that you are indeed a stutterer. I had the same problem but I am forcing mysel...

My stutter is severe whenever I’m extremely comfortable with someone, I think that it happens because you just let go and they don’t mind if you stutter or not. I feel the most free when this happens....
