I'm also 18 man. It's tough but not as tough as you think. If you work hard to manage your stutter better, you'll see results. Before speaking to someone, I usually plan out whole conversations so I m...

The ones who aren't worth your while are the ones who don't take you seriously, and future employers, girls and everyone who knows you definitely do not fall under that category. If you're having issu...

It's awkward... true. But don't let it get you. And that's easy to say, I know. But try it. It's their problem if they can't handle it. A year ago my husband and I are watching at the tv and someone ...

I'm 17 and also a stutterer, it's gotten so bad that, I mostly just sit there during class and listen to the class but I never raise my hand, even when I know the answer. It's really stupid. I absolut...

that's awful. Sorry you had a rough day. It's especially hard during the teens and double especially with girls. Some people just dont know how to act appropriately and politely yet, so you get offens...

The laughter, while frustrating, may not have been malicious at all. She may have thought you were cute and the stutter made you seem vulnerable. People that don't stutter don't really understand the ...

While I totally understand and feel your pain, why didn't you actually tell them you had a stutter? I've learned that whenever I end up stuttering in front of people I newly meet, I'm quick to let the...

I had a woman laugh when I stammered in the phone a few days back. Fuck 'em. Their problem, not mine. If you let it get the better of you than it wins. If this girl really thinks you're a worse person...

Hey man, fellow stutter-er here, I've been in the same boat. Sometime my stutter is so bad I just don't speak to anyone. Or if I have too its minimal words. Especially around girls I get the biggest f...

I'm fucking sick of this shit.

I'm fucking sick of this shit. I'm so embarassed, I feel like crying. I've had a stuttering problem ever since I could remember. At times it was decent, and at others it was awful. Well, today was th...

The sad thing is that psychology really is important to a PWS--it's just not a cure. It's true that stress and anxiety are almost always triggers, and it's helpful to learn healthy ways to process anx...

Your stutter is an emotional disorder due to early age avoidance? If the stutter is an emotional disorder and it was causes by avoidance, how did you stutter in the beginning to result in avoidance wh...

I've met a couple other female stutterers through the stuttering foundation, but only fleetingly. It's great to meet another! Let's be friends! And I know what you mean. My husband used to give me th...

> can speak perfectly fluent when they are alone. That doesn't mean anything decisive. All it might mean is that their emotions/anxiety aren't exacerbating their conditions, therefore making it ma...

Yes, I do. I also stutter when talking to my cat, when talking to my hamster, when dreaming, sometimes even while singing. Other PWS might have a different experience, and so what if they do? Negative...

IMO that belief is a negative thought that will cause your stuttering to persist. Do you stutter when you talk alone to yourself?...

I would disagree with your statement that " Even if you didn't stutter you'd most likely be who you are now, just a shell, a weak shadow of what you could have become if you stopped being self destruc...

I agree with the OP in the sense attitude and perspective is everything. Negative thoughts are at the core of stuttering....

I can take criticism and can accept harsh realities, but I think this post is misunderstanding people who stutter altogether. The simple truth is, you can't assign a method or behavior to cope with st...

As a stutterer myself, I can relate. I stutter the most when I meet new people or introduce myself to my teachers. One time, I couldn't say my name without the stuttering. Everyone mocked me for MONTH...
