This is experienced by almost all persons who stutter. The reason I think is because stuttering is a communication disorder not a speech disorder. You are not communicating with anyone when you talk t...

I don't think it's the same thing as the fear of stuttering. I block quite a bit, and am pretty desensitized to it by this point, so don't mind too much when it happens. Like you said, there are certa...

>What is the thing that caused this? Stuttering. And how do you know this? How do you know it wasn't something inherent in you--just as much as your disfluency--that was triggered by your stutter?...

Yes. If it wasn't a dis-fluency issue it could be something else. But playing the games of what ifs doesn't do anything. Also, I injected some of my own personal experiences...I didn't say it applies ...

Sorry, but I just disagree and can't relate to that. Suicidal thoughts are not caused by stuttering. All the things you listed--bullying, lack of support, dismissive parenting--these have nothing to a...

I wasn't bullied in school (I got really lucky/fought people) but there have been tons of stutterers that have. Constant bullying like that at a young age can have lasting affects on people throughout...

All those things are part of the psychological side of billions of things. It's not like anxiety, depression, and isolation are unique to disfluency, nor is it as if a stutterer couldn't be confident,...

Because of a stutter? No way. Maybe one's stutter could contribute to some rather serious anxiety, isolation, and depression issues, but I wouldn't wholesale credit that to the stutter. Who's to say t...

It's never been an issue because it's made me very secure in my personality - I'm pretty strong-willed so even though I stutter audibly, guys have never been turned off by the stutter (that I've notic...

Hey ladies, how's dating for you?

Hey ladies, how's dating for you? Men are usually the pursuers and women are the choosers. So I'm curious as to how dating is for you. ;) Do you struggle to find a date/partner directly because of yo...

Stuttering makes some people uncomfortable. They don't know what to do while you struggle through a word, and they want it to stop. I think that's why kids usually laugh when another kid stutters, a...

Good to hear. I'd love to continue on my speech therapy lessons, but too bad I also have social anxiety so I have to pay a ton of money on taxi fares to even get to one lesson. ...

Talking to people and telling them I am a person who stutters does help alleviate with the anxiety. But I am choosy on who I tell and depending on the situation. I find that pseudo stutter can be a ...

Tomorrow is a little short notice. It will be how it will be, just try to keep your eye on the overall goal of getting yourself in front of the companies you want to get hired for, and making sure th...

Need advice for "surviving" a recruitment event having a stutter and anxiety

Need advice for "surviving" a recruitment event having a stutter and anxiety Tomorrow I will be attending a recruitment event with the opportunity to interview for a possible paid internship. As great...

It feels like they fundamentally misunderstand their audience. "You shouldn't feel ____", "you don't need to do _______". It sounds like a buncha "if you dont feel confident, you shouldn't. Just be co...

He said in the beginning of the video that there is no difference between talking to a girl with a stutter and talking to a girl without a stutter. I don't particularly agree, but it's what he said....

Same here. I look serious and intimidating (according to family and a few friends). I would rather people think that I'm hard (personality wise) than appear as an anxiety ridden nervous wreck when I ...

Yeah that sounds like really great advice. If you show overall confidence in yourself and just tell people you have a stutter when something like that happens it'll be a lot better than just embarrass...

You're young and so are they. She probably doesn't even know what stuttering is. While it's hard, the best thing to do in this situation is to tell her you have a stuttering problem. Yes, they will in...
