i disagree with "99% of the people we stutter in front of are perfectly patient for us to speak..." i and plenty of others can testify against this. i have been judged and made fun of repeatedly, whic...

I'm glad you feel that way. Now stop blaming us for the way stuttering has been stigmatized. I never cared about my stutter until people made me care....

99% of the people who see you stutter are supportive of you or couldn't care less how you talk. It's only a tiny few dickheads who push their own insecurities onto you with insults. The problem is yo...

I am though. I hate this rhetoric that we're so hard on ourselves for no reason and that we create our own problems. Try stuttering freely around people and see how you start to get avoided or trea...

No, it's not normalised. It's not normal to cause ourselves mental health problems via self-verbal abuse. And the reality is 99% of the people we stutter in front of are perfectly patient for us to s...

My blood boils reading comments like these. Dating apps are NOT the same as they were a decade ago! Nowadays these companies have designed them to keep people swiping. In turn, this means fewer match...

The above was his reply … he even apologised to Tina privately for wrongly accusing her, because I decided to end this by taking the blame on me. I don’t know how he would feel now that he would see t...

Also, as Tina denied the words, and I sent him the above, he replied to me with the below: “Your reply seems contradictory, “Maria” (note: I changed the name). Nevertheless, since Tina denied everyth...

Your friend said he was hurt by something you told him and you turned it around on him. You didn't say the mean thing but did you stand up for your friend? And he is allowed to be hurt even if it's tw...

Who is on the right?

Who is on the right? I would really appreciate your opinion on the below. One of my (former) close friends (“Andrew”; fictitious name) has autism and stutter, and once asked me if a mutual friend (“T...

Who is on the right? One of my close friends (“Andrew”) has a stutter and once asked me if a mutual friend (“Tina”) had ever said anything about him (not about his stutter specifically; about anything...

Yep. While we've all experienced assholes in our life highlighting our stutter. Most people react way more to how you are about your own stutter then the stutter itself....

yes and no. Sure, there is catastrophization, but I have encountered many instances of discrimination and hateful things said about my stutter specifically. This perpetuates the negative feedback lo...

Don’t hold your breath. Where’s the profitability in helping a subset of the population speak more fluently? We aren’t “sick” enough in their eyes....

The life is a massive stage, our life is constrained by wealth people. I strongly believe that stuttering can be treated but THEY don't want it THEY want us suffering....we just want to speak and live...

Tiger Woods, Elvis Presley, Joe Biden, Emily Blunt , Ed Sheeran, and King George VI are just a few that struggled with stuttering. It didn't stop them. Successful entrepreneurs like this one was bulli...

Same here....but I have always asked myself this question is this fair that we are facing as people whom stutter? They can treat us but I think they don't want they want us suffering...

tbh i have no condolences but just relate. im 19 and so far ive been hating it here in uni the fear is immense making friends is something i suck at bcz i ruin jokes i take long to convey my message s...
