There *are* rare women out there who actually find it cute. But another girl I've been with actually told me that it drove her crazy....

I've been with my fiance for going on 6 years, and we are getting married in a year and a half. We even have a cat together. Chances are I'm uglier than you are. Confidence is key. Keep yourself out t...

How am I saying that you're the one in control there though? I say that you shouldn't care about other people, and how they react. Edit: That was indeed quoted from my comment. I'd like some further ...

I can see the argument being made. Not sure it's necessarily valid for all stutterers (a matter of context in a wide sense). But you shouldn't let one user become a "we" anyway....

He's not wrong. Once you learn to accept yourself and youre stuttering, it'll be a lot easier for you to just be yourself, since you won't have stuttering on your mind much or really worry about it. Y...

No, not everyone can, in fact, I'd say almost no one can. If it is so easy for people to "not give a fuck" then social pressure, trends and culture wouldn't even exist, everyone would walk around nake...

I haven't seen that on here..? I have seen people say your true statement "you are in control of how you feel about how others react to your stutter." If you are open with people, and explain that yo...

I've never heard anyone say you are in control of how people react to your stutter. That doesn't make any sense. We can influence by controlling what we put out, but like you said, the main thing we h...

You're right it does interrupt the flow of conversation, but a positive attitude and confidence go such a long way. If you can't control it, do your best not to let it bother you. Nearly everyone (adu...

It's true, you can't stop people's view of your stuttering. You can let it not get to you though...

It's a fact that stuttering does interrupt the flow of conversation to a very bad extent depending on the severity. Conversation timing and tone are incredibly important when talking to others. A tone...

I see your philosophy, and I understand it. I used to feel the same way. Acceptance is tricky with a stutter. A stutter is a speech disorder which doesn't have a known cure. And unfortunately fighting...

Exactly. That is what I'm saying. And I agree, people give up, I know from experience. I try to bring across to people in this place that fluency isn't going to happen. A lot of people seem to know t...

Thank you. We all need to understand that having a stutter isn't anything to be ashamed of, or anything negative. Having a stutter has allowed me to see and understand things that no one else can. I...

I feel your frustration. Accepting your stuttering doesn't mean it's taken over. You can choose to get help and try to improve....

I couldn't have said it better myself honestly. A lot of people on here see acceptance as defeat. I feel it's far from that, like you said, it's giving you control over your life rather than the stutt...

I suggest you read a piece I wrote up a while back that delved into acceptance. Acceptance is difficult, but most people say "Yea, I've accepted my stutter" but still thrive for fluency, and still exp...

Developed self worth as opposed to the value others place in you. Developed spirituality. It has helped with me as someone who has had a stutter since childhood, I'm 23 now. ...

There is a very fine and distinct line between both of the options you presently hold. I'm 23. I've had a stutter for more than half of my life. It has never held me back. In high school I preforme...

For me anyways, its more like making peace with it in the sense that most never completely get rid of it. Before I made peace with my stutter I would get very visibly frustrated with myself whenever I...
