Yes you're right.. I guess it depends on your level of fluency. I in no way expect everyone with a stutter to empathize with me here because I may not be feeling this optimistic if my stutter hadn't g...

Sorry this happened to you, sounds like a big misunderstanding. High school is the worst. Next time maybe try openly stuttering instead of using fillers. Stay positive....

Sure, i accept it in the sense that i don't care if people know if i stutter or not. But i don't want them to hear it. I can talk about my stutter, no problem. You actually heard my stutter, that's a...

I'd rather take a cure that fixes it in the present! I wouldn't like to have never stuttered. Like you said for yourself, I think it was very important in making me who I am today, for better and for...

In my eyes if you identify yourself as a PWS then you acknowledge/accept that you have a speech problem and the next step is working on it. I feel that many people do not accept/acknowledge that they ...

I have never accepted my stuttering, but to me it seems people who accept it are less anxious (if all) about it and thus improving it alot by "just" accepting. I 100% blame my stuttering for having m...

.... you wouldn't want to speak correctly cuz you think you're a better person for it? It kind of reminds me of the deaf culture and how people are shunned by it if they chose to get a cochlear implan...

I do agree that thinking that only your speech is holding you back is wrong but I do not agree with people who want to get rid of stuttering to be ''behind'' people who accepted it. I accept that I st...

I know this is not the answer you are looking for but the fear that you describe is probably much worse than your stuttering problem itself. It sounds like you are anticipating stuttering and difficul...

Not at this point. When I was in high school, I prayed for such a thing. But like you I am very proud of who I am and love myself now. Got plenty of problems big and small but I wanna be me....

If you could make it that you never stuttered, would you?

If you could make it that you never stuttered, would you? I bet the average fluent person (and even average person who stutters) thinks that we wish we never stuttered. They might think that our liv...

What's in a name? For people who stutter, it's a bad head space full of self-perpetuating thoughts fueled by fear and anxiety. My suggestion would be to intentionally stutter. My name is Christopher, ...

The thing is you can't please everyone. If you can explain something that is relevant to your work with or without a stutter, you will be valued no matter what. It's your brain telling you that people...

Be brave. Never give up. Life is beautiful, don't let the silly stutter ruin it. Be curious, friendly, open. Don't let stutter make you closed and bitter. Stutter gave us one great benefit when getti...

Try not to overthink things. It's difficult I know and I still do it but try to be more open minded. The more you worry about every situation that you may stutter in, it will never change and maybe ge...

I seem stuttering as a natural phenomena!! U should take ur stutter in a positive way because what you speak is worth repeating atleast.....

and I have never heard such intelligent conversation about stuttering. Much like this subreddit, it's amazing to have so much common ground in understanding, knowing that everyone has been through so ...

I used to feel the same. It's only a big problem if you see it that way. I've come to love my genes and want to pass them on. And I have plenty more flaws than stuttering....

Well thanks I guess lol To be honest, I'm still conflicted about showing stuttering as something to laugh at. On one hand, being made fun of because of something you can't control and is already maki...

Hey congrats on that. It can be mortifying to order as someone who stutters - I remember getting told I couldnt get a drink at a bar because I was stammering in my order and the bartender thought I w...
