I don't know exactly what the professor said to you. Did they "shoot down" your paper in general, or the general topic of raising public awareness? It may be worth it to seek a further detailed resp...

Just a quick point, you might want to take out the footer with your real name for anonymity reasons. And my own personal tip, don't use "super" in a research paper. I dont really know what the ins...

Funny Story

Funny Story Ok so I have a story I want share with you guys that I think was amusing. So, I used to work at this restaurant as a dishwasher and there was this girl who I had a crush on who worked as ...

I had no idea that I was challenging my comfort zone. That's so nice to hear. Thanks > maybe they're pouring out so much pessimism online here because they have no other outlet back at home Good ...

Honestly, looks to me like _you're_ the one "ranting" a bit here... It's _realistic_ to know what stutter can do. We have to think of the people who are worst off, and include them in our community. ...

I know there is no easy solution. I've been suffering for years. But what do you want me to say? That we're just fucked up forever and there's nothing we can do about it! That you just have to "hang o...

>those who overcame it did it by being more positive about it Please stop saying things like this. It shows you do not understand that we don't know what stuttering is and that it varies a great d...

I usually rerecord until it sounds just how I want it, but lately i've been trying to be less picky about it and be ok with showing some stuttering. I have a friend who purposely shows stuttering in h...

I try to put less pressure on wanting/needing "good periods" doing that makes me less stressed which in turn makes me stutter less. I also try not to get too embarrassed when I do stutter, my stutter ...

"Asshole detector" yep, I've always viewed my stutter as that haha!...

What do you consider "social success?" If your metric is the most popular person in town you're always going to be disappointed. In my opinion you are rich with friends if you have 2 people in this wo...

You need to accept that stuttering is part of who you are. You are who you are today because you stutter and nothing will change that. But that's not necessarily a bad thing either. I like to think ...

This might get a little long, so I'll put the short version right up top: TL;DR Learn to love yourself and don't let the assholes define you. Brother, I say brother cause I assume you're a guy prob...

> How do you do it? I am always trying to keep my mood up. It's a constant battle. One thing that has helped me is that I've accepted the fact that I'll never be a social person. It was something...

There will never be a cure. Every few months I see an article about some stuttering genes being found but nothing ever comes of it. The *"Experts"* in this field haven't done anything that is effectiv...

Hi xoebox, I hear what you're going through. I've stuttered since I was 5 years old or so (I'm 34 now). I know exactly what you mean when you describe it as "draining". I think that's an excellent wa...

I swear I was just thinking that today. I don't want my stutter to define me, but it's pretty fuckin hard not to let that happen. I just wanna speak normally. when I get a paragraph out smoothly I cel...

I enjoy good periods and take bad periods as they come. Can't do much about it. I refuse to feel sad for a long time about a big block. It's frustrating, for sure. It gets me, for sure. But I don't le...

I agree with a previous comment that these high fluency times can sometimes come and go without reason. Based on what you said though, I'd try to decouple fluency with confidence/self-esteem as much a...

I tend to laugh off long and obvious blocks. "lol, that was hard to say for some reason." Taking some joy out of my own humanity makes me feel more resilient and not defined by having a stutter....
