Really didn't write it to fight or something. but you seem to be on a high horse and everyone who is struggling is to be blamed. >So stutters shouldn't have good lives, or if you are successful you shouldn't use it as a good example? we should all be dragged down to the lowest possible level and cry wank each other 24/7? your speaking skills seem better than your reading skills apparently. I've said that their lives aren't ideal either. My brother has a stutter as well and I'm sure he might've faced some laughs or bullying as well but i'm so proud of him for doing so much better than me. He talks to his friends daily while gaming, isn't afraid of facing people or ordering stuff. I support him so much. I did not dismiss others issues, just that everyone's not the same. >People do this though, I have a pretty severe block since I was a child, my first job I purposely went for was a call centre job because I wanted the exposure > >You have no idea of how severe my stuttering is purely because I worked in a call centre and it was horrible but I did it? Good for you. I'm really happy that you're tackling it head on, and it must not have been easy at all and i really mean this sincerely. I feel happy when i see others doing better in life with this condition (I know quite a lot of people with stutter). Just know that it's not an option for some at all. I've been asked to leave job interviews just after (and twice in between) the first question because I was taking too long in introducing myself. They were not call center like jobs where i had to talk a lot. I was applying for a backend developer position where at max there are 1 or 2 meetings a day but still ppl don't give you a chance coz u cant talk. I couldn't have been accepted to a call center even if I tried. to give you an idea, I can barely talk to anyone, friends or family. On bad days I can't get a word out at all even after several minutes of trying. My block is there for 30-40 seconds until I'm out of breath and have to start over again just to get stuck on the same word again. It's embarrassing when after several minutes of trying you havent even gotten through half a sentence and then just have to write it. I haven't had a proper conversation with someone face to face in such a long time. I consider myself lucky if I contribute a sentence or 2 in a discussion. >It's pretty clear from your post that you have pretty much given up, you need to get to speech therapy or something or normal therapy, that's why you don't like to see about people with stutters managing it well First of all, I definitely didn't say that I dont like to see other people/stutterers doing well in life. You're clearly here with an agenda that everyone who hasn't done what u did is at fault. ​ Secondly, I've been to 4 speech therapists in my life. 1 when I was young, that really helped a lot but the stutter came back again and we couldn't afford therapy again. In the last 2 years after I got a job, i've went to 3 different speech therapists and none of them helped. I got comfortable with just 1 therapist where I could somewhat talk to her and explain what i was feeling but after 6 months of therapy, i still did not improve with anyone else and actually got worse while talking to her as well. I went to normal therapy once and after a week or so, she recommended me to go to speech therapy because i could barely talk. ​ >How can you expect to EVER improve if you aren't even attempting to talk, you have just resigned yourself to your stutter entirely? To be honest, yes. Its not ideal but after trying multiple therapists with so much hope and trying various solutions and embarrassing myself. I have been thinking of just giving up on stutter and life. I know I'm at fault here but I've lost hope. Again, good day. I didn't want to have a debate over it, just wanted to get my point across which u didnt get.
