Stutter Well I went on a stutter day outing with a few people who had stutters as well and yes mine is not as bad anymore because I swap words that make it easier for me to fill sentences but it doe...

Does anyone else feel like their stuttering has determined every aspect of their personality?

Does anyone else feel like their stuttering has determined every aspect of their personality? Recently, while doing the "16 Personalities Test," I realized that I might not be the person I think I am...

Something I still think about 15 years later

Something I still think about 15 years later In my sophomore year of college I did a 20 min presentation in a science class. This presentation was a big win for me. I stuttered a bit and had some blo...

UK M29 So working as a detective, I don't have to use the radio as much as i did while in uniform, which was a nightmare at times. I know what you mean about answering the phones etc. I am norma...

Stuttering just makes me mad

Stuttering just makes me mad Actually, it’s not the stuttering that makes me mad. It’s society. Why do we have to suffer over this? We’re not in physical pain. We’re not physically disabled. We ca...

It's totally OK to tell them you stutter, even if it is client facing. It's a part of you and you aren't doing anything wrong. When I interview I tell them right at the beginning that I stutter. It te...

Blew it again

Blew it again Had an interview for the career of my dreams today after months of searching and absolutely blew it. I tried my very best to take my time and even started drinking before the zoom interv...

First time posting!

First time posting! Hello! I’m 30F from UK, I never even thought of coming to Reddit for this, but I’ve had a stutter since I was little, but managing my stutter in a corporate environment is hell. I...

You are not alone. Most people in this group feel your pain. I would ask: do your peers know you stutter? Do you explicitly acknowledge it to them? I find simply making it a part of your identity more...

I always think this but when it comes time to talk to someone who I don’t usually talk to the thought of them not knowing really gets to me. they might be Ben ask if I’m okay because of my stuttering ...

Fuck other people.

Fuck other people. Fuck people they don’t matter. Normal guy that’s scared will win if he doesn’t care about other people. Our stutter can be heavily reduced if we constantly don’t think about what ot...

It's not a stutter, it's an avoidance behavior you've learned to try and hide your stutter. Should you be doing it? It allows you to hide. If you want to continue to hide and don't mind adding another...

Should I be using filler words. Example: like

Should I be using filler words. Example: like As a stutterer who is trying to manage it through school I often find myself saying “like”many many times in a simple conversation. I kind of just automa...

I get nervous that when I tell people I stutter one day and stutter then the next I won’t that they think I will be making it up. Luckily this has never happened because usually in school I’m never to...

Same here. When I write I feel so much more connected and free to write what I want and change it as opposed to me speaking and only maybe being able to speak without an awkward stutter fit....

You don’t disclose for the sake of the listener. You disclose to trick your brain into doing less work to hide the stutter (hiding it what directly causes blocks). Also, if you are a covert stutte...

Yeah that’s reasonable, I just have a bit of a different style. Same in principle. I don’t really disclose that I stutter, but I definitely understand why people would want to. I guess I just figure t...

I was used to hiding it whenever I could, so some girls wouldn't notice. But now I'm forced to disclose it because my stutter got worse (self-doubt and low confidence are to blame) and it honestly hel...

Totally agree. I like my texting self. Maybe we were born to be introverted writers. And creative people. Cos we can’t speak properly. So we utilise other mediums. It’s both a painful and interesting ...

I relate to this so much. I always stutter when I have to call for appointments, like mother do it for me pls😔...
