RANT!!!! Feeling inadequate

RANT!!!! Feeling inadequate So I try to not let my stutter get in the way of me living life. I’m very outgoing with lots of friends & I still try to engage in conversation even if I sound like I’m hav...

Been there, was very afraid to speak in school, was ashamed of myself, didn't have any friends, everyday was hatred towards anything and nothing but stress, i am 20yo now, and stutter reduced itself (...

stuttering has made me hate my life.

stuttering has made me hate my life. I recently turned 14. I've been stuttering since i was, I'd say, 11 years old and it has honestly ruined my life. All my life I've been a very quiet person but ev...

Struggling mentally

Struggling mentally I am 27 year old man with a stutter, which I have had since the age of 6. I am ashamed to admit, I am nearly 30 and I still have not come to terms with this speech disorder. I can...

I have stuttered all my life and would love to share my experiences as well! It's been at its worst during my childhood, there were many moments I couldn't say four words in a row without stuttering.....

It’s made me a very strong person because it’s hard to forget the humiliation - so I never look down on anyone realizing they have their own battles they are fighting. I became a tutor and I appreciat...

How long did it take you? What techniques did you use? Also how do you cope with the feeling of shame or embarrassment after stuttering?...

Thanks for sharing, can absolutely relate to your experience. I'm in the U.S. and have been around a few decades longer than yourself, but I still vividly remember the fear of being called on in sch...

I'm also a woman who stutters, I find I get mansplained to a lot because I don't sound articulate and men assume I'm slow and unconfident. I hate that I end up just agreeing with whatever is said beca...

The notions are a bit vaguely interconnected and the scheme ends up too broad. I studied the link with Parkinson's years ago. I didn't find much pragmatic utility, except for people who stutter being...

ngl this post is not great. I can see why you are heartbroken but it adds to the fact that we are not complete or can't be enough ever. I am a woman who stutters and I have had the worst week. I know ...

What I personally expect is more people specifically young people to shut they're mouths & treat stuttering like any other disability. Even tho when in school I did see some kids making fun of kids in...

Unfortunately this is why I stopped being social years ago. I'm 32 & have been alone for 5+ years. Yeah it sucks but for me it's better than torturing myself with constant embarrassment everyday...I w...

Im sorry but people saying they feel retarded when they stutter will never not be funny to me lmao. I know the feeling man, we all go through it, its better to laugh about it😅...

I can see it from both sides. 2 times in my adult life, for about 3 months each time, I was able to achieve seemingly complete fluency. Both times I went through a 3 week intensive fluency shaping pro...

There’s no other alternative other than accepting that this is your fate. I feel your pain. I had trouble introducing myself today at work and had to spell my name out. It’s embarrassing. I feel bad...

People want you to be ok with stuttering when they never could be

People want you to be ok with stuttering when they never could be People want me to accept and love myself despite stuttering, knowing that they would never choose to stutter if given a choice. A lo...

It also sucks when you have a punch line for them but they didn't get it because of your stutter. (Happened like 20 mins ago)...

Best fir me, I totally avoid talking bout my stutter, find it to much of a embrassment...

Thanks for your insight. Sometimes when someone does that to me regarding a “flaw” i have, it can feel a bit infantilizing. But I will try and think of ways to make it sound merely compassionate....
