Dumbest Hot Takes About Your Stutter? Hi All! I manage the courage to join. I started stuttering at age 3. After my preschool teacher had a talk with my parents, I received speech therapy in school until age 11. I'm 42 (F) and have adult onset stuttering. My stuttering is moderate. Life has been a real struggle. Based on your experiences with stuttering, what were some of the worst opinions people gave? "Your brain is thinking faster than you can speak." 😑 The lack of logic here.... "You seem to stutter more when you're anxious." - I can stutter at anytime! I can't pick when to be fluent! "You don't have to stutter." - Oh wow... didn't know it was a choice. Guess the cruelty I experienced due to stuttering was my fault according to them. "Just slow down, take a deep breath." - Doesn't help. Much like saying "uh" or "um" before/during stuttering doesn't help.
