I think this is pretty common for stutterers. At least for me, it's definitely the case. The people I know well are already aware that I stutter and don't even react to it. There is zero pressure, no ...

Amazing read!...

Hey thought i would reply as a college student myself, finishing my bachelors this year. Look at it kinda like this, all the low-lives and assholes which is the main part of people who actually look ...

My blocking (and probably yours) is caused by a lot of tension in my body. My speech therapist (who I have been going to for the last year) has pointed out that when you block- you do in fact tense up...

Thanks, this has been the most informational response yet. I guess what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Thanks so much for the great insights....

From my experience and from talking to others who used to be terribly disfluent but have since gained near 100% fluency.. anxiety does have a pretty significant role. For me, I know I'd never stutter...

Similar to HS really. Most people just are a bit confused by it the first time they hear you stutter then just accept it. Occasional laugh the first time (I just stare them down for a bit). You just d...

They knew, but my closest friends just didn't really care that much. ...

yeah i get that...did people know that you stuttered? Not one person, aside from my parents who half way dont believe me, know i stutter...ive gotten so good as word subbing that its second nature. it...

High school (and middle school, Jesus... bad memories) can be hell for stutterers, but I'm telling you, the older you get, the less people give a fuck. ...

Don't just announce it, no. And don't forget, you're not Seekere, the stutterer. You're Seekere... who happens to stutter. Don't let it define you. ...

I really hope so...I just don't see a time for instance, where I'm going to a party or bar with friends and girls that telling them that I stutter is socially acceptable...

I can't speak for every college in the world, but you would be surprised just how little people care. My stutterering has decreased quite a bit in the past year. People are just nicer, more approachab...

what was it like socially with a silent block? did it inhibit you in any ways?...

Yep, just finished freshman year. ...

what was college like? how did your stutter affect you socially? (hs senior here)...

I try not to over think things. I am just out of college and being in the work environment is interesting to say the least. I have my good days and bad days with my stutter. Put me on a spot in a meet...

thanks for the words...are you a college student?...
