It's hard to compare with any because it is a so-called "hidden disability". If you see a person with no legs in a wheelchair, you already know that running the marathon is out of the question. If you...

I remember reading about this one blind stutterer when asked which disability was worse, he said stuttering because of the stigma and shame around it. I think the minimizing like you say is quite inv...

The biggest thing is just how exhausting it is. I'd probably be an extrovert if I didn't stutter. I love people, but I just hate social interactions. I'm just so sick of stressing out about EVERY SING...

I can't say I'm no longer struggling with the negative effects of my stutter but I guess I've made pretty good progress in the self-acceptance department these last few years. Here are a few things th...

Hey, thank you. And welcome to reddit! I’m happy if my post made you feel a little less alone. Being a stutterer can feel very lonely in general, as we’re not a big percentage of the population. I’ve ...

I had a horrible experience ordering food.

I had a horrible experience ordering food. I love online ordering, any restaurant that offers it gets my business, partly because I can avoid interacting in what could be a very nerve wracking situati...

I know that it might sound melodramatic and trivial but life, your life, your future children lives, is so much more than speech quality. Yeah, it is obvious but we tend to forget that stuttering is j...

Rant. I’m so sad.

Rant. I’m so sad. This week has been the worst week of my life. Quite literally. I feel like the universe is against me and nothing is ever going to go right. I feel hopeless. I’ve spent countless day...

Personally one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from having a stutter is to have patience and compassion for others. I’ve been able to empathize with people who struggle and I always try to listen ...

Reducing the social anxiety will automatically bring down the stutter since its linked. Do you stutter when you are just by yourself? The more comfortable you get with other people, the more comfortab...

I struggle with memory a ton. Everyone’s like “when I was a kid I did this and that” I honestly hardly remember my childhood. I hardly remember things from a couple weeks ago...

If u can't go to a doctor I don't think there's anything for you to do really. The only way I cope with my anxiety is never leaving my bedroom so if u're not the type of guy that spends weeks without ...

This is not something that necessarily comes with having a stutter. If you literally can't form memories, you really should go see a doctor/specialist of some sort. It might be an indirect result of s...

Everytime I see someone order their favourite food with their choices without stuttering. And here I'm repeating my same order 10 times to avoid stuttering while ordering....

Y'all ever just look around at people and wonder if they know how lucky they are? Like they can just go up to a random person in the street, introduce themselves, ask about their lives, etc. Crazy....

It would be so nice to be able to talk to someone with the same affliction. Because it really is just one of those things where people don't get it when you tell them. Yeah, they say it must be rough ...

That fucking kills me. My wife is usually with me when we're out running errands. We'll be bullshitting at the counter together but as soon as I have to speak to someone I don't know my stutter feels ...

I will eventually but this is something I have managed for over ten years and I know exactly how to avoid. If I get a diagnosis that prevents me from driving then I lose my job and who knows, maybe my...

You're right, we're all different. I guess you just have to adapt and do what works for you. I'll probably see a doctor eventually but for now I'll continue to just manage it since all I have to do is...

Same. Sometimes I just need to eat something at burger king but I don't know what I want to try out next, so I always order the X-tra Long Chili Cheese Burger 😅...
