What do I do?

What do I do? So in around January this girl showed interest in me over Snapchat, however I rather stupidly pulled a cowardly move and just ignored her. At the time I was in a much worse place and bas...

More than I’d like to admit. I talk on the phone all day (ironically) and I stutter and clutter during every God forsaken phone call and I can’t stop! It’s really embarrassing! Trying to get a positio...

I feel this way too about my stutter!! The embarrassment is getting to my head and making not enjoying talking to people because of it because most people can’t wait or be patient and even try to fini...

I feel like this is why I avoid a lot of things/people because I know I’m going to stutter and be embarrassed lol...

There’s “bad” as in the proportion of your speech that is affected by it, but then there’s “bad” relating to how it affects you. There are covert stutterers who very rarely stutter, but are deeply af...

I feel cursed and helpless

I feel cursed and helpless There is not a single day that I don't think about my condition and how it makes my life so miserable. Everything started when I was a little kid, a different kid that didn'...

I hate myself for it, and try to block it out of my brain afterwards...

In third year at school trying to say the word "studying" in front of the whole class. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life...

Yes, expectation is another factor. On a related but slightly different example, if I expect to stutter on a word or phrase, then I will. It's like knowing I'm going to have difficulty saying it. All ...

I know it’s hard but please try not to worry about what others think.  I’ve been there done that it does get better once you realise no one else’s opinions matter especially if they’re being nasty You...

Yeah man exactly. I've been through that all my life also, and have had horrendous experiences..but at my age even though I'm younger than you by almost 20 years I'm burnt out and done with life.. I u...

I don't remember most of my childhood but the first incident that stook with me was when I was 6 and I had just moved into a new building, i was hanging out with the kids and I repeated a word for a l...

I'm 52 and I know the exact situation you described ! Nothing worse than a grown ass man feeling like a little kid in front of a room full of people. I've been in that situation all my life and thou...

When I first started stammering, I didn't really think of it as a big deal, until a day when I raised my hand to answer a question in class, I was trying very hard to get the answer out but I was stuc...

First memory I have is from (I think) 1st grade. Remember talking to someone after lunch and I couldn’t get a word out. As I was struggling, they just looked at me and walked away. Things like that wo...

I'd tell the instructor that I stutter and it's too much for me to present in front of others. I'd take that embarrassment over blocking, stuttering, and sweating in front of a group of people any day...

Why is stuttering so embarrassing to talk about?

Why is stuttering so embarrassing to talk about? I notice that me, and a lot of other people who stutter are really embarrassed about their stutter and hate talking about it. Also it seems to be a co...

I can’t take it anymore

I can’t take it anymore I have a severe stutter and I am becoming 99% nonverbal because of panic and severe anxiety. I know at this point it’s not the stuttering itself; it’s the trauma building up...

Terrible. I had a close group of friends who understood and had my back, but anyone outside of those few individuals I found myself ridiculed. Dating was nearly non-existent....

It was terrible! I wouldn’t wish my experience on my worst enemy. I’m still struggling to deal with the trauma....
