I'm 31 and still stutter just as bad as I did when I was a kid. Even now I haven't fully accepted it as a part of myself, but I have grown to care less. One thing I've learned though is that people n...

Honestly, go with your gut. I decided in HS that I was going to take a stand against my own stutter and began taking jobs where I was the face of the company. Meaning, I was the first-person people sp...

I’ve been made fun of, avoided, and seen the faces people have made to the reaction of my stuttering. It’s hard to just not think about it. I hide it so well tho. It’s like women will come up and talk...

People who stutter hear it immediately. I am 100% sure about this. I think that most people who don’t stutter or don’t know anyone who stutters might not notice it so they think it’s rare. One time I ...
