Lastly, about "negative emotions"—I prefer the term **conditioned stimulus** because not all triggers are negative emotions. In Pavlov’s dog experiment, the bell alone became a trigger for salivation,...

Well I’m kind of a social person around my friends and they know about my problem so I’m not as stressed around them. whereas if I’m doing a project in science for example, I barely speak in my group ...

Also, I’m positive that making jokes about stuttering on the Lumon property is a no so nobody would ever say anything. If Lumon does one single thing right, it’s *appearing* to be gracious....

Funny enough, I’ve been watching the show and had the same thought. I think my innie would still stutter, just maybe not as much. I’ve stuttered pretty much since I started speaking, and research sug...

fluency is so important to you because you are a people who stutter, for other people it isn't. No one cares 99,9% of the time when you stutter, only you. That's a classic trap for people who stutter:...

I definitely think pretty privilege plays a part! I was a bit of an ugly duckling growing up and was bullied relentlessly at school for my stutter. But I had a "glow up" in high school and everyone ju...

As a not-ugly guy, I think being soft spoken and approachable also adds to the pretty privilege on my part. Hearing how you are when depressed is interesting, because when I’m depressed, my anxiety an...

I definitely agree with the self confidence thing. I’m a female and I would consider myself quite attractive so looks do come in handy. However I’d say I’m quite confident and extroverted and althou...

Kinda depend on the environment you are in but the opposite gender does have it easier when it comes to dealing with things like this, boys are less likely to make fun of girls for stuttering cuz they...

Thanks for your opinion!! When im with friends i dont feel like i have to compensate my slutter with my looks but with guys i feel the opposite. i will talk that with my therapist...

As a man I do think a lot of what you’re mentioning has to do with you being a woman. Men don’t judge a woman for stuttering because for one, we are very visual so if you’re pretty you already have a ...

i understand you, I'm considered a standard person, handsome, I know how to dress, anyway, I take great care of my self-esteem and I'm vain, but what does all that matter to me if sometimes I can bare...

As a woman, I can relate to this experience. In my opinion, a big factor here, aside from “pretty privilege,” is gender roles imo. Women who are quieter or stutter are often more accepted because soci...

Maybe another factor is the self-confidence that comes with being conventionally attractive ? I definitely have lower confidence which affects me socially. Maybe being good looking would alleviate t...

That's called stutter ig? I still didn't got what's slutter but nvm. Being a fellow PWS, I empathize with what you're saying. *Virtual hugs*...

> That made me think that we are often too hard on ourselves, and maybe people don’t notice our stutter as much as we do. That's true to some extent, people who don't have a stutter do stutter somet...

Similar experience. I consider myself pretty and my friends never pointed out my stutter. I did receive a couple of mean comments in kindergarten though. My ex boyfriend never asked either. Which make...

i think it too, its strange since when it comes to friendships they are definitely not attracted to you.; maybe i was lucky enough to be surrounded with good people who never makes me feel like im tra...

I feel the same way , i have always been self conscious about my stutter but the people around me never really notice it or it doesn’t bother them. I too think maybe it is pretty privilege maybe you g...

Being a girl who slutters (Does pretty privilege exist?)

Being a girl who slutters (Does pretty privilege exist?) Being a girl who stutters Hi, I recently found a post about a girl saying that a boy told her that attractive girls have it easier when it c...
