HEY Dmitriy, You probably remember from twitter:) Maybe? That was a really great post. All through middle school and high school and even now in college I am letting my stutter take control. I am afraid to ask qurstions, like specific questions. I tend to stutter most on specific information or just saying something freely without thinking about it before hand. I was so afraid to read outloud senior year of HS in my banking class that I would just accept the 0 on the reading assignments. I hated that so much because I wanted nothing more than to read, I actually wnated to idk something inside me felt like I couldn’t.

Comment on True Life: I Stutter – My Wrap Up by chris

I’m watching the True Life episode on stuttering right now. I’m 27, from South Jersey and have stuttered since I learned how to talk. I went to therapy all through school, traveled to meet the top speech patholigists and even got the “miracle” thing you put in your ear (“Speech-Easy” I think it’s called – it seems to help, though only in quiet places).
My parents and my older brother always tried to make me realize that I’m not that different from everyone else. They taught me to accept my disability but, at the same time, not to stand for disrespect. I fought a lot (both mentally and physically) but, I was well liked/popular with most people/girls/teachers/principals. The ignorant people take notice when you’re confident and you stand up for yourself.
Lately though, I seemed to have lost my confidence. Being 27 and on my own, I have to do a lot more things for myself (important phone calls especially). I dated/lived with a girlfriend since high school (for @ 7 years total) and she handled most of the big stuff for me. Well, she passed away 2 years ago and, while trying to move on, I learned that the confidence I had in high school is gone. I don’t mind getting shot down but, getting hung up on (by potential dates roommates/whoever answers her phone) is something I’ll never be OK with.
I’m still struggling but, I’ll keep cracking away at it. Shows like this True Life are great ways to curb the ignorance. There needs to be more like it! Thanx to everyone involved!

P.S. Out of all the stutterers I’ve met, I’d guess 95% of them were males. I can’t recall ever meeting a female stutterer outside of a speech pathology clinic….. Jessica, call me!

I just say the MTV True Life I stutter and I am happy MTV gave light to us people who stutter’s.. I am 25 will be 26 Nov 29 and I have been stuttering my whole life. I inherited it from my mother side of the family. I am very comfortable with myself and that I stutter and I actually used to get in numerous fist fights and when my classmate would make joke I just had to getting funnier than they were. I do find it funny when I hear someone else stter only because I see myself . I would love to find out how I can help young kids that are suffering and would need help because I kno I can be very helpful.

Hey man,

For you to be doing what you are doing is an inspiration to all of us.

If anyone else there reads my comment, just remember to always lead a positive and confident lifestyle like Dmitriy, or else you will fill into the pit of depression and that ain’t pretty.
