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...

i'm really sorry you're going through this rough patch. The unpredictability of stuttering can be one of the most mentally exhausting parts, especially when you're doing everything right and it still ...

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...

Me to me : “fuck you, stop stuttering you idiot just speak like a normal human! Even parrots speak fine!” Also me to me: “ you’re perfect, you’re handsome, everyone wants to be you “...

We need to accept who we are and be patient with ourselves. You wouldn't scream abuse at a friend if they had an issue, so why do we abuse ourselves with self-hate speech?...

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...

Probably tbh, these were both a few years ago so I don't remember much but the details people love to tease me about 😂...

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...

i relate; it hurts, so bad, many times i think; why me? when i'm alone, i have confident, i'm cool person and people will like me, but when i have to deal with social interactions i be different perso...

For me the thing that helped the most was class wide discussions in my AP Gov and AP lit class. What hurt me the most was a stutter and um filled mock trial try out...

yeah it is very serious, the older you get the bad it gets, but i say to myself; "you can't keep blaming yourself for something you didn't choose!" but at the end you have to deal with it; so you spea...
