Michael Kidd-Gilchrist appreciation thread

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist appreciation thread MKG, the starting forward for the Charlotte Hornets, stutters. He often has to give post game interviews, and he always crushes them. He speaks with confiden...

Great for you!! That is a huge step and I applaud you. Just remember, there may sometimes be bad days, and it's okay. It happens. If you keep on with that attitude, you'll be more than okay! Just kno...

I am just going to YOLO.

I am just going to YOLO. I am getting over my stutter. It is getting in the way of what I want to do and getting the grades I need to succeed. Yah its annoying but today I just YOLOed and told peop...

You don't know what people are thinking, and more than likely they might have, at most, thought "awe poor guy" and then moved on with their lives. You should also move on with your life, i guarantee y...

To continue on your example; a 'fat' person is medically unable to become non-obese; simple because there is no way to remove fat cells, except by surgery; you can only temporarly remove the fat from ...

I wouldn't. Agree with most people on here, it's a big deal for others only if you let them know it's a big deal to you (and it is, it's the only deal isn't it?). Keep 'em guessing and profit....

The Thing Is, I Sutter by Megan Washington

The Thing Is, I Sutter by Megan Washington Hey, fellow stutterer here and whenever I get down or feel like my stutter gets in the way of things I always remember this talk. I am sure many of you have ...

I personally wouldn't. I've found that people will react to the fact that you stutter based on how you do. If you act like you have a disability, people will treat you like you do too. If you're open ...

IMO if someone isn't comfortable with my stutter and decides to fade I don't get angry, I just see it as a chemistry/compatibility thing. I don't blame them as i just see it as it wasn't meant to be....

Thank you! I don't think I "triumphed" however. As I said, there are few days where I do not stutter at all. Still, it no longer controls my life. I no longer stay indoors or refrain from making phon...

I'm 100% of the same mindset. I would actually lean to advising young stutterers away from therapy or trying to "cure" their stuttering. The cure comes when you put your life first and don't let stutt...

I think that depends on how you define "practice". I went from being pretty much unable to speak (coudlnt string together two syllables without blocking) to it being nearly undetectable. I have very f...

I think it's different for everybody honestly. I went to speech therapy for years as a kid & found it to be completely useless. There isn't one magic cure all that is going to just make someone st...

Ya I was when I was really looking everywhere for a "cure" trying everything but know I just stop worrying as much about it...

Thankfully I've been lucky & have never been unable to do anything I wanted due to having a stutter. The only thing that has ever stopped me in the past is myself. If you're anything like me, you...

I think there probably was when I first started, but only because of my attitude, not my stutter. I spent a lot of energy doubting myself & being pissed off at the fact that I was selected to be a...

I consider myself close to full fluency. I was a very severe stutterer throughout high school. I planned to go to college but ended up chickening out and just lived at home for a year, not doing muc...

100% agree. I used to let stuttering dictate my life. I've now worked in journalism for 5 years, talk to strangers every day, cold call people every day, talk on the phone in front of a 20-person ne...

Yeah, sometimes, we shouldn't have to worry whether the other party in the conversaion has enough time and/or patience to wait for our words. Events aren't always compatible with that, but it can be k...
