No, I won't let people hear me stutter. I don't want people to see me as speech disabled....

Thank you for sharing this, it is quite reassuring to hear you triumph over things that sound very familiar to me. I try to tell myself that everything is going to be ok, but intrusive thoughts will s...

Stuttering limiting my voice

Stuttering limiting my voice I’ve been stuttering all my life, but I feel like these past couple of years have gotten a bit better. Something that always bothered me, is that I have to limit my gramma...

Your story is such a beautiful one. Thank you. I felt the same with my last girlfriend, the only girl I didn’t put a mask on with. She never thought that my stutter was a burden, after many years I ...

OK, looks like we are both adult people who stutter. You, as an adult, maybe no longer have fear of speaking. I don't either anymore, but when I was a teen, I had the fear of speaking because I stut...

I always say it before job interviews or some other important event. Especially if they are in English, which is not my native language. All of the interviewers have always been receptive and told me ...

First of all, I never said they were pretending. And I said it sucks. So I am not invalidating their struggles. Also, my advice is not to be invalidated by saying "simple". It is honestly that simple....

Definitely overthinking it man. Sure some girls might reject you because of it, but then, do you really want to date a girl that blew you off before even getting a chance to know you? Some girls like ...

Should say "a kid who stutters". Yes, but not to "explain" his stutter, but just to say that he does. I know it would take a lot of courage, but if his teacher and fellow students are laughing, he...

Fwiw, something I’ve done recently is that I allude to it in my writing sample. Gets the point across without creating an awkward moment in the interview....

There are other ways to express your personality. The activities you do, all relationships nowadays happen through texting. If I am into bike riding and I invite my date or friends on a bike ride, tha...

Who is the “I” that can’t live like this? Self enquire into that. Use stuttering as a gateway into Understanding your true nature. Are you your thoughts? Are you your feelings? Are you your stutte...

My wife thought it was cute. Stuttering doesn't bother people to much if you just roll with it. She knows to chip in if I'm about to get stuck on a word (I can never say lettuce lol). Can't help on t...

I’ve noticed the opposite effect. Whenever I speak to someone who stutters or anyone who seems nervous to talk to me suddenly I become nearly perfectly fluent....

Yes! I feel the exact same way. I just ignore it. If it‘s someone I truly care about, eventually I‘ll let them know how I feel about it and why I don‘t like it when people tell me that. It‘s not worth...

When I was a teen I used to be really bothered by it. I was going through a hard time and I thought that when people say it‘s „cute“ they weren‘t recognizing how hard it is to have a stutter. Now I ju...

Rough reality hits everyday anyways, so maybe it's better to escape it a little bit? Just pretend sometimes that everything is fine to not hurt yourself more. Fake it till you make it like they say. E...

I feel the same as you. When I first met my husband he would say it’s “cute”. I never liked when he said that but I would ignore it and play it off. Eventually we had many discussions about my strugg...

I look at it in a “If they don’t mind, they’re good people”-mindset and I use the same filter across many aspects of my life be it friend circles, partner, career, etc People who judge us by our stut...

I think older generations aren’t sad about it because they had to face theirs head one. They didn’t have stuff like text messages, online shopping, just eat, self serving kiosks. If they wanted anythi...
