Hahaha cocky is a word that applies to most people I don't like (in a way my stutter is good, cos I know I'd be an arrogant little shit if I had fluent speech). But yeah, I think it's Better to wait...

I think it was a more gradual thing to be honest. I slowly realised that I have so many good qualities about myself, that to pick at something like my stutter is fucking childish and if that is the c...

Another step to coming to terms with my stutter.

Another step to coming to terms with my stutter. So I've had a stutter since I was about 11 or 12. I'm currently 20, so it's been a while. Anyway over the past year I've come to grips more and more ...

It's actually affected my dating life positively. My first girlfriend thought my stutter was the 'cutest thing she'd ever seen'. The summer from when I was 17-18 really turned my life around as she g...

Very late, but I've just worked through my stutter a bit, and it's only noticeable when I'm nervous. It either makes or breaks a date in my experience. When I stutter, it helps me to stop in the middl...
