I would be so social without my stutter, it's the only thing holding me back, even if I have social anxiety. When I was a kid I always wondered how people without stutter or any sort of speech proble...

Anyone else have those moments where their stutter caused them to opt to remain silent in a particular situation, thus looking like an asshole to everyone else for not having said anything?

The story of my life. As a kid I was a jokester and very extroverted but since I started stuttering at nine years old I have been an introvert and I am always so depressed about it. 😢...

stuttering definitely prevents me from striking up conversations with people or continuing conversations which makes me look introverted. i used to be extroverted but now i would rather just be quiet ...

I was a class clown extrovert growing up but then became an introvert. Now I feel over my stutter but am still an introvert. Socialization drains my energy. I do a lot of it for work though. That said...

When I drink I rarely stutter, and I don't smoke pot any more (for like 15 or so years), I don't even remember whether I stuttered when I was high. My worst is on the telephone. ...

Wouldn't work for me, I always just try to power through the stutter. It works sometimes but not all the time. I'm through trying to distract myself or act differently, it's who I am, I say syllables ...

Of course. I'm a natural introvert but in my business I've trained myself to be extroverted for short bursts, and it's really difficult to do that when people give you the stink eye because you said t...

Yeah, I just power through it. If I feel like what I said was garbled or didn't sound right, I'll repeat it and it's usually easier the 2nd or 3rd time out of my mouth haha. By nature I'm a conversati...

I agree about it almost being habitual, scientists don't seem to as much but I'm almost sure that's what happened with me. I've proven it by the fact that ive reverted some of the old habits I had. Gl...

No problem man, we've all been there. And that's true about therapists, it's unfortunate that they're not always realistic to obtain. I'm of the (unproven) opinion that when we learned to talk, we l...

So I'm going to echo what I'm sure you've heard 100's of times before, but with a slight twist. You need to stop worrying about it so much. I understand this is really, really hard. I understand it ...

Struggles with Stuttering Hey im new to reddit and i need a place to vent about my frustrations with my stutter. I am 29 and happily married but for whatever reason i cant get over my fear of stutteri...

I can't really comment on you liking your major or not. Do watch the movie "The King's Speech" if you haven't. It's related to a political leader who was a stutterer. All I'm gonna say that, move on....

Thank you. Regarding the point on how I'm not sure what I'm doing, that's due to more factors than just my stuttering. I just want to take a different direction I think and my major (Political Scien...

Passed IELTS a few years ago. First of all, I made sure to get as much points as possible for other parts of the test. When I met my speaking examinator I told him about the stutter (it was pretty obv...

Totally get it, and phone calls are the hardest for me too. I stutter very badly on the phone. But my job also revolves around making phone calls. Had one experience recently where the person I called...

I have always been very scared of making phone calls to strangers. One summer I gathered all my courage to call for a summer job. When I started explaining my reason for calling... I stuttered really ...

Ouch! Reminds me, I eventually turned my stutter into a form of humour, where I would get the group's attention like I was going to say something, then not say anything, or just stop my sentences midw...

I don't think it would work... like ShutupPussy said the more you are afraid of stuttering you are the more you will stutter. It kind of feed of your fear and avoidment methods (if you have any). But...
