Stuttering and self-esteem
Stuttering and self-esteem Stuttering is linked to low self-esteem, but why and how can we improve it? I've been thinking about this today after reading about the "The Psychology of Self-Esteem" by N...
It depends on how much you let your stuttering hold you back. With a mild stutter I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to become a real estate agent. I know stuttering lawyers, notary's, salesmen ...
Going to college in a couple of days!
Going to college in a couple of days! College starts in a few days...I'm pretty excited but anxious for welcome week. My speech has been really deteriorating this summer due to work stresses and gener...
Reading this made me feel very happy with myself. Just like yourself, I am 18, and have stammered since a young age. Small groups or friends is usually no problem, but required public speaking, especi...
I'm covert, but I'm honestly way too hard on myself, focusing on every little "mistake" I make in conversation. I just elongate my sounds and pause and block a lot which I guess most people chalk up t...
This is the day I face my opponent.
This is the day I face my opponent. Today is the day I face my stutter, head on, for a final battle against what has held me back for such a length of time. I am 18 and just nearing a half hour ago,...
Sorry, but as a writer, I disagree. In fiction, the best way to convey a message is to put the reader in the point of view of someone who doesn't yet have it. And we can't really say what is 'okay' or...
Even if it's the point of the book to show us what is acceptable, it still needs to do so in a way that is consistent with it's message. It would be okay for Monty to be uncomfortable with the awkward...
It's been my dream to be a Marine officer but I've had my doubts due to my stutter. Thanks!...
Indeed. It gave me nightmares in school. Also, introductory hand-shakes are always awkward with me because I almost never say my name and rely on someone else to do it for me. Otherwise the hand-shake...
For me personally it's participating in high paced group conversations or discussions. I can't keep up with that pace. By the time I get my word out either the conversation has moved on much further o...
For me, it's speaking in general. Some occasions are sometimes easier than others but it's not consistent, and occasions that were fine today will be shit tomorrow. Was trying to volunteer a chunk o...
I don't feel any different, but it does vary based on the degree of stutter. Used to have a client whose speech was not very fluent (though I don't know if they had a stutter as such, but it sounded ...
I dont consciously do but my speech is worse and its harder to control. I think its because i have my own acceptance issues and put extra pressures on myself....
I don't feel especially comfortable or uncomfortable, but it does help me to be empathetic towards non-stutterers who awkwardly try to be "helpful" or otherwise react poorly. When someone is standing ...
Do you feel uncomfortable talking to other people who stutter in person?
Do you feel uncomfortable talking to other people who stutter in person? For me, it's a little awkward because I realize how I sound as a person who stutters. I realize that I don't really know how to...
I just graduated with BSME degree, and I feel the same way that you do. I'm going back to school for a Masters degree, and I'm so scared of having to present research findings. There's definitely a re...
My name is Jesse. I am 31 years old and have regularly stuttered to some degree since I was in 5th grade. I have had peaks and valleys. Stretches where I speak great and have little issues (such as...
Worst part about first school days, no doubt. My palms would suddenly turn into oceans and my armpits would turn into puddles. Another weird aspect about introductions is that when you stutter in yo...

Have an interview tommorow, any tips? Tomorrow I will have an job interview and I do really want this job. And I was rejected by last two interviews. Now I have no confident at all....
