I suppose it does help that I have a mild form of stuttering. Perhaps if I had a severe stutter I would probably care more about it. But all in all, I think it boils down to those around you. If they ...

Haha I've thought about that as well. If I had a wish, stuttering would probably be 3rd or 4th on my list. There are other more pressing matters I think. you have a good attitude about your stuttering...

I've never really had a drive to overcome my stutter. Are there others like that?

I've never really had a drive to overcome my stutter. Are there others like that? I dunno, I've always accepted the idea of having a stutter for the rest of my life. I just learned to work with the st...

I came here to write this. Seriously, people — women, men, it doesn't matter — will respect you more if you own your stutter. It's mortifying, I know, but being yourself is so much more attractive. Wo...

I'm 23, have struggled with a mild to moderate stutter my whole life. My advice with the girls - just own it. You are gonna stutter sometimes, it's just a part of who you are. It in some ways made you...

Hm, I wonder if that's my fiance's reasoning for finding my stutter cute. It seriously threw me for a loop when he first told me. Stuttering is the one thing I'd likely give my right leg to get rid of...

I think that how you describe it there is nothing wrong with. I must say I find it also cute when a guy has a stutter.(I'm a female) And I do have a stutter myself! Crazy? Maybe, haha. So yeah, I kn...

I don't stutter, but I have friends who do, so I read your subreddit. I actually do find it cute in some contexts. I'm not saying this to annoy you, I just figured I should stand up and be counted. A...

It's not cute! Or a fetish! Does anyone else get really p!ssed off when others tell them that their stutter is cute? It really upsets me. I don't find it cute, it's terribly socially isolating and m...
