I'm married now, and I know it's harder than it sounds, but I was never subconscious going on dates because I believed that the "right' person wouldn't care. If this girl does, that's that. As you s...

It sounds like you're psyching yourself out. and you're doing it to protect yourself. and I use humor much the same way. Anyway, it is scary and nervous but that's good. you dont want to be comfortab...

Of course we can have a good life, not dictacted by our speech. :) But those moments aren't even dependent on us actually performing flawlessly. ;)...

Of course not. I'm speaking for myself. If I could have chosen to not to be born I would take it. I admire stutterers who are positive about their speech and life in general. The people who carry on n...

Haven't received speech therapy in ~20 years, I quit when I was 8 because I didn't care that I had a stutter. I'd like to be part of your research if possible. ...

I honestly can't believe some of the people on here. I'll have a kid if my (future, hopefully, hehe) wife and I fucking want to. If he doesn't stutter, cool. If he does, guess what?: He has a father...

While I don't agree with what you say, you shouldn't be judged based on another persons experiences of living with a stammer. I hope you find some peace with it and have some good experiences of it a...

In my opinion this is absolutely no reason not to have children. The chances that they'll stutter, even if you do, are very slim. And if they do, they'll have you there, someone who knows what it's li...

More power to you. I've heard from many stutterers that the moment they experience the biggest change in fluency is when they finally say "I don't give a shit" anymore and no longer see it as an obst...

Yeah, I've got to the point where I don't really care, gotta admit that it makes life a little bit harder, but I'm not as sensitive as I was some months ago. However I'm still trying to narrow down wh...

Yes, I stutter way more frequently in English, and EXTREMELY much in French, but I can hide it pretty well in my native language. But with any stutter, the only thing that helps is not give a flying ...

Thank you for the kind words! Naturally my speech becomes really fluent save for a few bumps and slight blocks. Unfortunately my fluency plummets once I actually go out and try socializing with other ...
