Death is what separates us from Sisyphus's eternal torment. With death, we can take comfort in the fact that one day we won't be pushing that boulder anymore. We can even choose not to push it at all!...

And it sounds like a cornball superiority complex fueled ass argument if I try to explain to people that the reason I stutter isn't that I'm slow, my brain's too fast. Or at least that's the only way ...

Ups and downs depending on who I'm working with and what I'm working on. Rarely, people hay have held it against me, which definitely does suck, but skin grows thick through years of medical training....

I was thinking about it, and I think yes because we tend to be excluded from society. I had no friends at school or college, and there were long intervals between classes. So I started reading books a...

Wow! I was surprised to see this come up again! So he is very fluent now, "bumpy" speech is smoothed out and he has fairly typical breath control. He still has a youngish voice, and he doesn't alw...

\> I still don’t know my trigger yet Saying your own name does not trigger your stutter? This is a high-stake situation: usually a direct question in an unavoidable public setting (everyone else p...

I've always thought my stutter helped build my empathy and vocabulary. Spot on....

Question: why do you believe that you think way more and more deeply than most people you encounter? I believe that most people cannot express themselves as well as they would like to (whether they ar...

That's true, but I've found it more useful to focus on my own thoughts than those of others. Opinions vary from person to person and from place to place, but the one we take with us wherever we go is ...

I think it made me try harder to be smart to make up for the misconceptions some may have around the stutter....

I agree to that, I think this is why many stutterers think they would've been unstoppable without a stutter like, "without it I'd be the president", because even with this issue we can survive in soci...

Usually when one ability is compromised another is enhanced. Thoughtfulness and wisdom come to those who don’t speak but listen....

I also have a stutter and maybe ADHD as well. Can I DM?...

I do think im smarter than the people I work with. I dont know if that makes me smart, though. Lol...

I don't think smarter necessarily. More patient, likely. Agree about the comment on vocabularies - perhaps better at writing and linguistics than the average person. But I don't think I'm smarter lol ...

I don't know about this - I'd assume ppl who stutter have a range of intelligences like any other population. No impairment is magically going to make anyone more intelligent across the board than any...

No correlation, at the scale of all people who stutter vs all people who don't. But people believe in stereotypes and so make assumptions one way or the other. Hollywood actually seems to like to show...

I'm a walking thesaurus. I have used my ability to think deeply about ideas and words to leverage myself into a well paying job as a communicator and writer. I'd say I'm rarely the smartest person in ...

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, but when it is time to articulate that intelligence, only about 10-20% of it comes out and the rest just sits deep inside not being able to come out or c...

What's interesting, I have a feeling that a person whom stutters but is still extroverted is actually deemed way more confident than a normal person. Normal people would probably think, if they stutt...
