How was your daily struggle with stutter? I'm all ears for you guys?

How was your daily struggle with stutter? I'm all ears for you guys? [deleted]...

When someone's stutter is so severe as to be disabling, as mine was for many years, then it is akin to a physical disability. The advice to 'just' whatever completely ignores context like state of mi...

I don't even know what you're trying to say. Stuttering is often irreversible, and wheelchair use is often reversible. Do you not realize that a lot of people that use wheelchairs do so after injuries...

That's not the point, being in a wheelchair is irreversible because of organic reasons (maybe there are extreme cases) and I don't believe someone has no stutter-free zones, like whispering or even si...

You do know a lot of us don't have "stutter-free zones", right? what a ridiculous statement plus there are a lot of people who use wheelchairs that can walk to some degree...

Sometimes i feel so weak. Seeing that i struggle to do something that all people can do without even thinking....

"Just talk" is a great advice to YOU. I don't mind it when someone completes a sentence for me, I know that's not the case for many. The reason a lot of ppl would see "just talk" as a crappy advice i...

Except a wheelchair-bound person is never able to walk, while even the most severe stutterer can talk fluently many times (so this analogy is a bit offensive in my opinion). "Just talk" is a great adv...

I know mate, it can feel restricting. Don't feel envious though, the feeling of envy is just one of pain and no gain. You gain nothing, no good feelings, in exchange for a miserable time....

I don’t want to be like this.

I don’t want to be like this. I started university this year, and apart from the fact that I’m lazy af and I barely do any homework, my stutter is isolating me more and more, I seem stupid because I c...

In December, I had a medical procedure where I needed to lay prone in recovery room for 6 hrs. For first two, I was unable to call for help (bc of stutter) and nurse forgot to give me a buzzer. I ju...

Are there any pills that help?

Are there any pills that help? Will taking anxiety pills offer any help? When I'm at home, surrounded by my close family, I speak as fluently as a politician. But I cannot go to the doctor, cannot m...

Do you struggle feeling authentic?

Do you struggle feeling authentic? I never feel like I can truly communicate what’s on my mind to people. I just settle for the easiest thing to say. There’s no one who truly knows me. It makes me fee...

Data Analyst or something artsy, graphic design etc, that's what I do anyway. Use your hands more than your mouth (that's what she said...) People will always need these skills and you can end up bein...

Do you believe your stutter impacts your ability to make friends/fit into social groups?

Do you believe your stutter impacts your ability to make friends/fit into social groups? I feel like it has impacted me to a great extent, as on my rare fully fluent days, I do much better socially. ...

What effect does alcohol have on you and your stutter?

What effect does alcohol have on you and your stutter? For me, a little bit somewhat reduces my stutter, but enough of it gets rid of it altogether, although only while I am still VERY drunk. I usual...

I finally ordered Starbucks after avoiding it for 2 years

I finally ordered Starbucks after avoiding it for 2 years I’ve had a slight stutter my entire life but when the pandemic started and we had to wear masks I developed a horrible stutter of my own NAME....

Of course, while I was growing up, my life was mostly determined by my parents. I tended to play video games because they were often a lot more enjoyable than conversation. Unfortunately, I decided ...

I think you are underestimating yourself and what you can do. I am a family nurse practitioner. I see patients in a clinic settings. I have had talk with patients and families about life, the future,...

The best thing that came out of the Covid pandemic was the proliferation and development of online food ordering apps and e-commerce. No more anxiety over the thought of having to speak to someone to ...
