Hey r/Stutter, I know most of you guys are insecure about your stutter but I'd just like to let you know that you're no different to anyone else and are actually really adorable no matter what anyone says :)

I would really like to see if there is cure for it. But, coming to me, I have lived all my conscious life with stuttering. It made me the person who I am today. As you said, I don't know if I would th...

No, I lack personality, and it helps me make jokes and bond with people who want to make fun of it so I don’t think I would. It wouldn’t be worth the one girl I’ll ever talk to easier to talk to...

1. Steve Harvey is probably blowing smoke, and is no more able to cute stuttering than cure cancer. 2. I feel like I've gotten along pretty well with my stutter though an 20/80 mix of stubborn determ...
