I’m also the only sibling that stutters and I have a guilt that I make my brothers look bad. In elementary I was extroverted but over the years you can say my stutters was progressive and my brain sta...

No problem, I'll list some things I've done over the years: I used to stutter when saying my name so I made sure I looked in the mirror when I was a kid and said my name, so many times and sometim...

Obsessed by my name

Obsessed by my name Hello everyone, I've been wanting to post this message for a while. I have an issue that you probably understand very well—it's stuttering on my name. It started two years ago w...

If that was the case, most stutterers would mot be sooo negative....

I don't feel weird about disclosing it, but sometimes people's reactions are weird and it's easier to just not deal with that....

Suicidal thoughts

Suicidal thoughts I’m a 28 year old male. I’ve stuttered my entire life and it makes life difficult. Yesterday I was having issues with my insurance and had to be on the phone with them while they h...

I totally understand. Even my fairly minor and random stutter has limited me. There's always my fear of people thinking I'm fluent and then openly stuttering. Sometimes people think I'm Joking because...
