Thank you for completing the survey! It's not meant to invoke sadness. But, the point of this and a lot of our research is that there's broader impact to the stuttering condition than researchers, cli...

Exactly! On the outside always looking in. Most of my friends feel very embarrassed about my stutter, and my family thinks it’s annoying. If you have someone you can talk to maybe just over text, that...

Yeah I’m awkward as fuck. I’m convinced that I’m socially stunted because of my stutter. When I was 4-8 or 9 my stutter was really bad. I still stutter but not nearly as bad. I only spoke when I absol...

I once dated a guy for 6 months before he saw me stutter. It is exhausting and so isolating to hide such a big part of myself. At that point in my life I was more worried about hiding this shameful ...

It's been hard. When I've tried I've been rejected. Now I'm too scared to even try. But, I am not desperate though. I kind of start to enjoy my own solitude. I think it's important to know that life g...

It does suck. But at least 1% of all of us know what it's like. That's better than being the only one. Anyways, message me if you want to chat. Isolation sucks more. Zoom is booming right now too....
