Small Victory!

Small Victory! Today, I ordered food for myself for the first time. I walked to a restaurant in person and placed the order myself. I felt very shy and struggled to say what I wanted but the woman who...

Jesus that difference is mind blowing. Stuttering is just so so bad and we’re getting absolutely no recognition. Not to mention people treat us like lazy, unmotivated, etc, like it’s our decision. ...

True, it depends on the severity of the stutter. I'd say mine's moderate atm (it's noticable, but not veey obstructive), and I wouldn't trade a limb for it. But it's been severe before, to the poin...

I don't disagree. Just meant that the reason there is so much aid and support for diabetes is because it is fatal if left untreated, unlike stuttering....

It might not be as bad as diabetes, I'll agree with you there. But it is debilitating and exhausting. Just about every job, for instance, requires socializing. When I can't speak the way I want to and...

My bad i hadn't considered prosthetics. I understand inability to communicate has makes us miss out on alot of opportunities besides being depressing af but a limb will equally make you lose alot of o...

Onion rings

Onion rings For the most part I can speak pretty clearly. I can use filler words to say what I want or even if I repeat myself I eventually get the word out but damn I’m fucking 27 it’s January 1st 20...

Negatively. People avoid speaking to you in social settings and make fun behind your back or in your face. People assume you’re not intelligent (both adults and kids) throughout school, university an...

I have trouble ordering food at a restaurant unless it’s something I don’t really want. But this quirk in my stuttering has forced me to try all different types of cuisine I never would have. :)...

How has a stutter impacted your life, both positively and negatively?

How has a stutter impacted your life, both positively and negatively? Hey everyone, I’ve had a stutter for most of my life now and I enjoy writing in my free time. Lately, I’ve wanted to write a (some...

Yea hearing this sucks. Stuttering is stressful on it's own when you have to get shit done that requires verbal communication. But then you have the added layer of poor awareness in society, which mak...

I'm literally right there with ya bro..I'm 32 and gave up 5 years ago. Do I keep on trying to some extent yes. But I hit a breaking point and realized that if your a severe stutterer normal life is po...
