How are you able to have a normal life?

How are you able to have a normal life? I have been stuttering since I was a child, as a defense mechanism, I isolated myself my whole life because of it. Which obviously had a major effect on my m...

I do, and the worst part is that people never take you seriously, or think you're mentally disabled because of it....

I understand when people say it doesn’t define you but I have never liked it. It DOES feel like it defines you and in many ways it does, as it determines how you interact with the world and your life ...

What we have, what we consume, what we engage in, how well we communicate, how much money we have becomes a yardstick in which we measure and compare ourselves against others. I’m almost convinced t...

I understand how you feel, but that's part of stuttering unfortunately. Life has taught me to just roll with it now, it'll get better OP. Just keep on pushing forward and try not to let it get you dow...

I feel it getting worse at such a pivotal time in my life and not being able to control it is killing me...

It wasn’t a mindset shift. I had a planned operation and told my doctor about my stutter but the nurse didn’t understand it meant I would be unable to call for help with my voice, and she didn’t give...

Its hard and tiresome to read a single block. Am content now....

I’m sorry, that was never my intention. I was just having a low self esteem moment and was referring to myself although I know it’s not true. Becoming an adult when you have a stutter is really scary ...

The most important question here is: Do you think someone is worthy of your attention if they avoid you all because of a stutter?...

Absolutely, it honestly makes me feel so awkward sometimes. Like my brain just stopped working when my tongue wasn't done with my entire sentence. It makes me feel so much more challenged than I alrea...

I hate school

I hate school Idk if its just the Norwegian school system who does this, but being talkative at class is so important that even if I get A’s in my written assignments they will still drag it down to a...

So theres no hope for me if i stutter even when im alone/with animals...

Dear Veronica, I don't have any answer to that question. I'm broke too. Penniless. Unemployed. Shattered dreams. Can't keep jobs due to this issue. I read your posts. I read about your dreams. I rea...

This is super positive but also super hard to change your mindset when there is so much evidence that the reason you became homeless was because you couldn’t work and the reason you couldn’t work is b...

Yep. It wears you down. Your world shrinks. Your ability to make money. Social. The whole lot. What can we do? There’s nothing we can do but keep going. Enjoy what we can in life. And accept our stutt...

Hell, no. I'd rather do a job that I like and don't feel horribly comfortable in. My stammer relatively mild these days, but I still hate talking to customers on the phone. There's persisting and dev...

how to live with a severe stutter?

how to live with a severe stutter? All my life I made one wish and prayed every day - to be able to talk. I tried all possible techniques and methods of healing. but all in vain. I found myself lonely...

Is speech therapy worth it as a adult?

Is speech therapy worth it as a adult? How does it feel to know you’re never going to make it to your full potential socially (which dictates a lot of QOL)? Knowing that if you could just do something...

> allow me to live comfortably and something that's low stress Straight off, unless you're born into wealth this does not exist. However, that doesn't mean you can't be happy - you say you have no ...
