Alright. "Shitty parenting" is how we access stimulants. Nictotine and sugar may be relatively weak, but when you consider consumption frequency and how it's re-consumed every few seconds/minutes -- n...

Your better than me I'll tell ya that much lol..but honestly you reacted the right way. Let go of the burden of caring so much what others think and life gets alot easier. I certainly haven't mastered...

A mild stutterer counts as an stutterer, specially if they went from severe to mild. Even if they had gone from severe to non stutterer at all, the memories of being rejected and silenced because of h...

Oh man. Do I understand this feeling. Every day is hard. Throughout my whole life I’ve just layed in bed at night and wondered why god chose to make my life extra difficult and filled with humiliati...

“Do you have Tourette’s?”

“Do you have Tourette’s?” I got asked in the middle of a conversation do I have Tourette’s & clear as day I responded “no I have a speech impediment”. It’s funny how the old me would have been so upse...

Honestly, for me it's only bad when I talk to a stutterer that has crippling facial tics. It just kinda makes me feel sorry for them because I don't have it nearly as bad....

Just had the worst interview ever :( Any kind words or similar experiences please. Couldn’t even talk, like I’m not that bad but I went from a 3 level stutterer to a 8. Diverted eye contact, blocked ...

Compelled to say the term ‘words’ when I stutter. Help?

Compelled to say the term ‘words’ when I stutter. Help? So I’ve always had mild cluttered speech and stuttering that comes and goes. It’s minimal now but was extremely bad a couple months ago. Long st...

I’m am so incredibly sorry and hurt for you. I’ve had a friend who once said “just speak normally” and that’s when I became self-conscious of how I spoke at 11 years old. I am also 18 and am still nav...

How's that working out for you? Not well, I'd imagine. You wouldn't be posting like this on Reddit if you were happy or even content. Do you want people here to validate your self-hatred? To agree t...

I have had countless thoughts like this. I really wish my family was more supportive and understanding. It's not even just the embarrassment of contorting my face and banging on the table, it's also t...

Oh man, that is absolutely terrible. I'm lucky enough to have a mother who is mostly very supportive of me and at least sympathetic toward my disability. Lets just say, she had some words to say to th...

Whenever I have a really embarrassing moment when I stutter, I can't move, i get all sweaty and I feel like I'm about to cry from embarrassment. Even though basically no one cares about my stutter, I ...
