I just hate the thought of people laughthing at me but in general I do fine with my stuttering just in front of big crowds where there are a lot of adults who look important I stutter and get ner...

How do you feel about talking?

How do you feel about talking? I stuttered when I was a child and it really hurt my confidence/self-steem. I wouldn't speak up much in school or actively talk to people. I pretty much only spoke when ...

Challenge accepted... Hello there! I'm 17 years old and soon to be a graduate of High School. I wanted to share something spectacular I did today in my Honors English Class. We were given the choic...

So much anxiety interferes...

So much anxiety interferes... I watched the Spongebob Campfire Song Song episode a long time ago when I was a kid and I tried to sing along to it. I couldn't keep up, as it was going so fast. I fumble...

Does anyone else only stutter on certain letters?

Does anyone else only stutter on certain letters? And only in the start of a sentence too. Like for example, I find it really tough to start a conversation with the letters W and D. And randomly other...

I've had a "friend" who would do this to me occasionally. It is one of the worst feelings, not just for that moment, but it makes you realise that the person is judging every word you say for the foll...

I really hope my future children/child does not have a speaking disability.

I really hope my future children/child does not have a speaking disability. My stutter has undoubtly taught me many valuable lessons about myself as a person and as a member of society. But I truly ho...

I'm am sorry you have to go through this, my name starts with a B too and also gives me problems. And people take advantage of this to get me. It hurts, but it just take it in my stride. Think o...

This might be the worst part, and how do I get past it?

This might be the worst part, and how do I get past it? Been stuttering all my life. With alot of people I´m basicly 100% fluent, in other situations and with some people I stutter like crazy. The wor...

Thanks for the uplifting post. I think being social is a really good strategy in gaining confidence in your speaking. I've dealt with social anxiety for much of my life, and I think my stutter has rea...

This is how I stutter aswell, more or less. It's pretty spot on. The initiating conversations and asking questions is a killer for me. I just can't make it happen, or I could, but then it would be obv...

How I see it, you don't know that person on the phone, they have no idea who you are, and you'll probably never see or talk to that person again. So, the only person who knows your embarrassed is your...

Perhaps it's a self consciousness thing. When one is not self conscious of their stutter because another emotion takes over, they have a tendency to stutter less. I have been in similar situations wh...

Oh boy....my story is also at your level of embarrassment. So I was at a Barnes and Noble browsing magazines about 3 years ago and I saw the cutest girl with awesome orange shoes on. I spent about 15...

I have those days too and they just suck. I pray I dont get called on in class or I just avoid all my friends for minimal talking cause even though they all know of course I hate when its really bad. ...

I work in a call center, and I go back and forth all the time. Some days I have no issue speaking fluently, others I struggle with every other word. Realistically, I know that 99% of the people on the...

Hey there, I've had those days too, still do. On some days I'm fluent as anyone else but on some days for some reason I'll stutter everything I say. For a long time I let it get to my head that people...

I appreciate your help. But a lot of stutters are exactly opposite of you:-) We stutter more when the spotlight is on us or stutter more when trying to speak fluently. ...
