You know there are people who stutter who don't have anxiety about it. Some who don't even really think about it anymore. They talk. They sometimes stutter. That's it. No anxiety, no panic, no stressi...

Stupid comment. The only way I wouldn’t get rid of it is if I could get rid of something worse. ...

Idk. I get that, but the bad stuff is just as vital to who i am as the good stuff. And, idk how to separate those. For example, if i didn’t stutter 100% wouldn’t have met my wife. She and I were in di...

Thanks for the insight! Something like this would be the perfect scenario for saying "Stuttering made me who I am today" but getting rid of it at your point in your life would be perfect....

I’ve owned my stutter, it’s who I am. My senior quote was “Did I stutter?, but I would 100% get rid of my stutter if I could. It frustrates me, and it won’t change me one bit as a person if it disappe...

Yeah stuttering sucks. But if I did not stutter I would not be a speech Language Pathologist, I would not have met my wife, I would not have the life long friends I made through the National Stutteri...

I honestly hate when people say, "If I had the option to magically get rid of my stutter, I wouldn't"

I honestly hate when people say, "If I had the option to magically get rid of my stutter, I wouldn't" "It made me who I am" This is a accurate statement, but you are also saying you wouldn't get rid o...

i'm going to take it meta here -- i think a bad stutter is when it's impacting how you communicate (not how you speak) or how you are feeling or acting in your life. i think you can stutter on every s...

Made me understand that treating people with respect is paramount and the most important thing in the world. I want people to give me a fair shot so I HAVE to do the same back to them. Additionally, t...

Surprisingly enough, it eventually gave me confidence in myself, by way of developing my sense of empathy, critical listening skills, and the realization that I can achieve what I want despite obvious...

What are the positive side-effects that stuttering gave to you?

What are the positive side-effects that stuttering gave to you? For me these are: 1. I know loads of synonyms in my native language, which makes me seem more sophisticated. 2. I don't like when I'm i...

I guess I'm in a separate boat to everyone else here when I say it's fine if you don't have to do presentations in the class. The main thing about me and my stutter getting better or worse was confi...

Hi, I am in my 40s, been stuttering all my life. My speech got more fluent after college and I settled into life and career. Married with two kids, my daughter inherited stuttering from me. I am livin...

Take this as a great starting point- You ACCEPTED and embraced your stutter during the time in our lives that we are least confident and most self aware. That is a huge sign in my eyes that you will ...

I’m 41 and have stuttered my entire life. It’s gotten much better with age and I think part of it is because as you get older you naturally stop caring about stuff and aren’t as self conscious. Best...

Just wear it with pride, man. It makes you unique and gives you a story most others don’t have at your age. When you meet a girl, don’t hide it! Let it be the first thing you say about yourself, ...

I sort of get ya, it’s the *fact* that the stutter is part of us and it’s not to be seen as something that will go away easily, per se. ...

I think I'm trying to express how we can conceive of something within our own identity without compartmentalizing. Stutter is something I know about myself, it's not an _object_ somehow. You see what ...

Does your friend know he's made you feel like that? If so, and he hasn't changed, then tbh he sounds like kind of a nob. Also dude you're only 20! You have lots of time to meet someone. And everyone ...

A lot of people out there openly stutter and its just a part of their character. I used to openly stutter before I was 17, and everything seemed fine. But after 17, I became self conscious of stutte...
