Nobody would voluntarily adopt stuttering. If you had speech therapy it's strange that your mother believes it's voluntary. At 24, although you're on the cusp of an independent life, it's still diff...
Yes, it's all in the genetic luck of the draw. I stutter, my father stuttered, my mother-in-law stuttered, yet neither of our children nor our 5 grandsons stutter. It seems unfair but perhaps you ha...
Yeah, hard to say, because it indeed brings in limitations. The choice of profession becomes very limited, and not everyone can grow into a secluded science researcher. I do hope we both will be fine,...
Yes, I agree. Effective communication becomes increasingly important as you ascend the career ladder. You are expected to conduct meetings, communicate with shareholders, and network with other high-l...
I married a great guy whose only real flaw was a stutter (I stutter as well), but couldn't overcome it. I dreaded having kids together, even going out to parties etc. We broke up. I'm probably an assh...
I’d Genuinely Die Over Giving A Presentation
I’d Genuinely Die Over Giving A Presentation I saw a similar Reddit post on r/Stuttering. I’m 15 and I’m genuinely suffering from my stutter. It’s gotten to the point where I’d be deathly afraid of sp...
They help guide you! Therapy isn’t laying on a couch talking to someone in an armchair scribbling notes like it used to be. There’s all different kinds, and it takes a bit to find the right fit - but ...
Thing is I don't even understand why my stutter is this bad. I have an irrational fear of speaking even though I wasn't directly bullied for it. Going to psychotherapy is like looking for a key ...
I can't. You need to be evaluated. Stuttering is neurological and everyone’s brain is unique. In my case, I have too much serotonin in one area and not enough in another. You need to see a provider t...
…in all of w us. In my case, it's a childhood fear that what I say is not important. I'm 98% fluent otherwise now but whenever i...
Sorry for butting in on this post. I’m a 31M who spent his first 28 years of life deeply covert and ashamed, feeling so isolated, and until recently I had no idea how much harder it can be for someone...
Stuttering affected me, a woman, for 30 years of my life and I'm in my 30s. Lots of pain and isolation my whole life. People called me stupid and bullied me. I had tics along with stuttering but was ...
Gotta go report a stolen document at the DMV
Gotta go report a stolen document at the DMV Just sitting outside panicking, dreading going inside. Fucks sake man, I just know I'm gonna freeze up. It's funny how god had to nerf me somehow. ...
I don't know how to explain that thing but I think it is because of anxiety and low self esteem. Sometimes I feel that even a cancer is better than this because in cancer one can die in few months but...
Stammering and selective mutism.
Stammering and selective mutism. Is there any relation between stammering and selective mutism ? I have selective mutism more than stammering. When someone ask my name or in my introduction i get com...
Hang in there at the mercy of the universe? When will I be in the driver's seat? God bless you ma'am. I'm 18, and at a loss. ...
The two solutions to feeling hopeless, is ignore it and become colder to the whole world in the process, or accept the challenge of self improvement and see where it leads....
Basically I feel like I could have been much much more successful and have bigger influence on my friends, family and society if I didn't have this stutter. ​ That's not a fair statement to m...
Big presentation in 3 days
Big presentation in 3 days I've had my stutter my whole life(I'm 16), and it really does affect my life. I'm no less outgoing because of it but I don't participate a lot because whenever I have to spe...
It's bad because it directly shifts things in your life. A severe stutterer cannot become a navy seal, pilot, or any job where it requires snappy speech. You're coping and avoiding the fact that stutt...
