There was one day where I just woke up and said "I refuse". Simply put: I refuse to let this limit my potential. I refuse to let this stop me from making friends, getting jobs, excelling at things I'm...

I'm 20. In University, and studying to be a teacher. I have a pretty outgoing personality and have a stutter. Sometimes I think that was the world's way of keeping me at bay, I probably shouldn't say ...

@PrinceofTruth No point in treating a fellow stutterer like that. He's right in a sense. We have a **choice**. Yes stuttering can have sucky effects. But we can choose to either remain down in the dum...

I apologize in advance for this post, as I'm probably in what might be described as a 'negative' mood :P I've fought with seeing stuttering in a positive light. Yes, it makes me a much more empatheti...

PM me my friend. It really isn't. It is what you make it, I'd love to try and help out. And, my stutter isn't the worst but it still affects my daily life in a major way. I just choose to look at it ...

I feel like my stutter has made me humble in a way. I can't lie I could have seen myself being a ego filled dickshit but growing up with a stutter has really let me understand more people and that no ...

It has made me a more observant person, by listening more (and speaking less), and a more empathetic person. But mostly it has (at times) made me proud of myself for how far I've come. Ten years ago I...

I'm 18, lifelong stutter as well. I don't know if anyone else does this, but I use my stutter like people used twix bars in those commercials. Whenever I'm in an awkward situation, or if I'm asked a q...

Hi Aidan, Wish I had more time to write to you, but unfortunately I don't so I'll focus on one thing. The oral presentation in English used to eat me alive, I used to dread it all the time. However...

don't be so negative. there are so many people who do great things with a stutter. I maintain a job, have a wife, have friends. you can do anything, except maybe air traffic control. hang in there....

I'm 23 yrs old and I have had a pretty bad stuttering since high school. I didn't let my stuttering define who I am, mainly because I really didn't care or thought much of it........... Until I got my...

The confidence definitely doesn't come first but you will have these little glimpses of confidence here and there. You may have a day where your fluency and stuttering is nonexistent and you talk grea...

I'm 35 now and, long story short, it got better on its own so there's hope. It was really bad as a child and in elementary school, it almost went away in high school, but came back and got pretty bad...

Well tbh right now I feel like shit and had my worst speech day, but I'm not going to give up because I enjoy having wonderful speech days. Couldn't even land a vowel correctly today, but tomorrow who...

How do you do it? I've tried to think positively, keep my mind off stuttering but every time I have a horrible stuttering episode my mood plummets into a pool of negativity. When my speech is decent I...

By remaining positive and keeping hope. It's better than being negative. I've noticed a lot of improvement on the days where I'm optimistic and confident. A change in life can spark a change in speech...

My only real thought when it comes to suicide: It's better to live for one more second than to die right now. Anyway, I've developed some shortcuts and quick fixes (taking quick breaths in immediate...

Hey, listen.. all of these people are saying what I'm about to say but hopefully i can put some stuff into perspective. The best thing i could have ever done for my stuttering was to put myself into s...

I live life but I most certainly don't enjoy it 98% of the time. Fuck everyone, fuck whatever they think, and achieve everything you want to despite your circumstances....

I can honestly say, "I've been in that boat." I am still floating across the Atlantic but I am doing so with a destination in mind. I personally took up working out to increase my confidence. Which ma...
