I whole heartily agree. Hiding my stutter put so much stress on my shoulders, espically thinking about the reactions of others. Once I started telling people and making light of it, it becomes more ...

Nobody is going to look down on you for having a speech impediment. I personally make minimal effort to hide mine, at work or elsewhere (granted I do not have to deal with the public at my work). Th...

Although you're worried you might be looked down upon, there are actually studies done that show it has the opposite effect on people - they'll respect you more and think you're more confident! Check ...

Perhaps. That approach may have worked for you but not everyone is at that step and that approach may not work for them. The sub should be safe and inviting to others. As another commenter here menti...

Not at all, everyone deals with their stuttering in different ways but I would have never been able to control mine to the extent that I do now without trying to be comfortable with stuttering. ...

No, of course not. I'm an adult who doesn't get upset at words on the internet. If you can't make jokes about yourself with other people with the same issue, you're in for a tough life. I also reall...

Good, hit that breaking point and just accept that it's a lifetime thing. It's much easier when you just go with it instead of fighting it. And I don't mean only your life is easier that way, which it...

I don't, but I'm not easily offended and make fun of myself all the time. Can see why it's triggering for sensitive people who really struggle with their stuttering....

Awesome story! I had a similar revelation when I was 18 as well and my stuttering almost disappeared afterwards (maybe because I wasn't as anxious anymore). Recently it's been coming back (I'm 24) and...

I’m 24 and I’ve stuttered since I was like 4 or 5, and I know it can be hard for some. I use to let my stutter bother me growing up in elementary school, and to junior to an extent, but once I got to ...

Agreed. In the end no one really cares. Understand I mean that in a good way. Someone may make a joke or laugh in passing, but after that moment is over that person will never think of it again. Where...

Laugh it off. Don’t be offended. Laugh with them. Make fun of yourself before they do. Lighten up. These co workers are not laughing at your character or your behavior, it’s just a silly thing. M...

Accepting the stutter is how we're gonna survive here, unfortunately for me I'm still struggling with that. School was really difficult for me too, so you're not alone in feeling like that, hope that ...

It's all good now mate :) I honestly don't care about it anymore Im living my life and there's nothing that can stop me from reaching my goals not even stuttering....

It's all temporary mate you'll feel better as the days pass by. 3 days ago i was at my lowest point, i even wished for death because i was so fed up with my stuttering but here I am, feeling like a be...

As I got older I began to accept my stutter. He more I accepted it the less it bothers me, and the happier I am with life. This is the biggest thing a person who stutters can conquer to help him. Hon...

Stuttering is a very normal thing. But I guess we have to just accept it as a part of ourselves somewhat, instead of constantly trying to fight it and ourselves. It is what it is, it will get better...

I went through a traumatizing experience like this in college and my stutter has been worse sense. Its all good. Just do you. Learn to enjoy life while its here. Because we stutter doesn't mean we are...

Be proud of who you are, don't let a little imperfection stop you from living the fullest life possible.

eh, while it ranks up there with the most offensive reactions I've received to my stuttering I don't let it bother me. She reacted poorly. That's on her. And it speaks more about the person she is rat...
