So, should I cancel a date? Been going thru a rough time, have had a couple of big life changes the last year or so, one is a breakup with my gf since like 5 years. Things been adding up and I have ha...

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...

I do. Every single day. The thing is I started stuttering pretty late, like when I was about 14 years old. I remember being a "fluent" person. I remember being able to tell stories and jokes, speak on...

Sometimes I think about this and it becomes depressing fast. I try my best not to think about this too often because it quickly turns into suicidal thoughts....

Do you guys also "Daydream" alot and sometimes get depressed about it? I'm pretty much always dreaming about something, i can't help myself. Some days it really boosts my mood, but on some occasions i...

I was very overweight as a child and mocked for that as well, and my confidence levels were on the floor. In my case, I've noticed that general insecurity was what most likely led to speech insecuri...

Interesting question - would you rather stutter to the level you did, or have OCD to the level you have / had?...

Well I stuttered since I was a child.. at 35 it's mostly gone. It mostly stopped when I was 17 (and it probably sounds crazy) but after a potent hit of LSD it diminished by about 70%. I did not do LSD...

Let me express my sympathy for how you are feeling right now: I have been there, and I know it really, really sucks. I have always stuttered, and still do today. In HS, I was in the same position as y...

The thing is no one will remember him for his stutter if they rarely hear him stutter in the first place because his stutter is preventing him from ever opening his mouth. You can only be remembered i...
