I had friends and was cordial with the majority of people. My stutter still affected my time in school, I was never close with any of my teachers, afraid to ask for help so my grades were average. I...

Hell yeah. Kids can be mean. The thing I hated more though was when teachers would give me the stares. You’d think an adult would know what a speech impediment was. I vividly remember one HS teacher c...

I hate it more than anything that I can’t express myself. People think I am stupid when I can’t finish a sentence and they start to treat me like a little child. It messes with my self-esteem....

Trauma caused by stuttering

Trauma caused by stuttering Here's a poem I wrote on the impact my childhood experiences with stuttering had on my psyche & personality... and how even those close to me fail to understand it's impact...

Yes but the awkwardness and the anger that follows after you order it and that you think this person now thinks less of you just because you stutter is very discouraging...

Worst part of having a stutter?

Worst part of having a stutter? For me it would be the fact it’ll never go away. For SOME insecurities, you can hide them or fix them. Insecure about your weight? Hit the gym. Insecure about your acne...

Yea I’ve had people say things like this to me too because I hide it all the time (substitute words, pause, etc) Sometimes people try to help by saying “stuttering isn’t a big deal” it’s almost like g...

I relate like I’m 17 about to go into senior year with no fuccing friends, no motivation and still a present expectance of people calling me a sped or giving a freaked out look...

I have a presentation coming today in the first period of class and there’s people who laugh at me and others that get mad at me, (partners) who think I’m wasting time and affecting their grade...

For me it got better . I remember when i was in second grade i used to stutter while saying anything. this one time i was speaking to my teacher and all i could speak was si..r...mer..s...ir and he la...

Yes and because of my stutter people made fun of me because of that I became more depressed and anxious...

Unfortunately I think mine has got slightly worse the older I got, definitely not better for me, maybe because I've never been able to accept it and I've always been totally embarrassed by it...

During school days I didn't know about mental health but now I think about it I realised I was mentally not really in a good place. I can still feel how anxious I was every morning about how my day wi...

Honestly, when I see my face in the mirror during speech blocks, I do horrify myself. Moderate to severe forms of stuttering is not pleasing to look at. Sorry but that's how many, if not most, ppl fee...

ive always been really insecure about my stutter. talking to pretty women was out of the question. but some do genuinely find it charming (idk why)....

This is so heartbreaking, that some or majority of people find us "different" and is not a good potential partner😢...

Something I wanna ask this community

Something I wanna ask this community Does anyone here actually work really hard as student either in school/college for yourself or you work this hard so that you can be praised by your family or mak...

Well, I guess they think most women will be ashamed of you when you stutter in public. You shouldn't care about those women. It's shallow and tells you more about them actually. The same is off-course...

So relatable. At the risk of sounding like douchebag, in high school a girl would hit on me and ask for my number about once every month or so. Literally all of them lost interest and some ghosted me ...

Same. Always sucks when girls come up to me looking all excited or nervous just for me to watch their face go blank when I start speaking and lose all interest...
