You sound kinda like me. I have a stutter too and it holds me back sometimes. I’m quite shy and emotional too. Also unemployed with a bachelors too, trying to find jobs but it’s tough. I don’t live in...

I didnt used to have a stutter when alone or reading, but now i do so i am starting to dread reading too. If i fail at it it makes me feel even worse. Ive become such a quiet person and i feel miserab...

NOT FOR ME! I hated back in middle school/high school when my stutter was at it's worst - when my teacher picked me to read a few pages from a book in Lit class for example because I would stutter thr...

Its not going to happen for 99% of us. Achieving perfect fluency in adulthood is close to an impossibilty believing in some no stutter miracle only leads to heart break, sadness and more anxiety and d...

It's very plausible; your parents started the negative feedback loop early. you start stuttering > they tell you to stop it (i.e. stuttering is bad) > you cant just stop it > you feel broken....

Well, at least you found out that this girl wouldn't accept you with flaws. If I were you, I'd wonder why after month since 'growing distance' she got another one. But anyway, stuttering is definetely...

I relate to this post hard. I always wonder what my life would be like if I didn’t have this stupid stutter. About a year ago I became really close with my dream girl to the point where we were overtl...

People used to look at me like I was stupid when I couldn’t say my name. And they’d say shit like “you don’t even know your own name?”...

Whether it's learned or translated, tu ingles es mas mejor de mucho otros que hablan ingles como su primer idoma. No need to apologize. Spanish is my second language even though I grew up with it. I...

You and OP make it sound easy to get over a stutter, or to just move on. Assuming that it’s that easy for everyone here, and that we haven’t tried our very hardest to make things better, shows how nai...

breaking moment

breaking moment man, 27 years old, I am from Colombia sorry for my English I feel that the speech block makes me look like a fake. It is something that I cannot control or I don't know when it will s...

I would rather hate it because it’s a useless thing not because I can’t say my name like anyone she has ever known, I can only imagine the thoughts she rightfully had: “why didn’t they inform me there...

Very, very familiar for me. I remember when in fifth grade in our class came new class teacher and she asked me almost same questions. I tried to say just my fckn name for thirty seconds, tried to set...

I had difficulties saying my name

I had difficulties saying my name (I don’t have a stutter, I have speech blocks, I won’t say a word until I can say it perfectly) I don’t know how someone like me has any future in a school, today the...

What's an atypical stutter? Lots of young kids have a stuttering period. Most grow out of it. If they start exhibiting shame or stop / reduce speaking that's where my concern would start....

I’ve had this happen to me before but I’ve never had the balls to call them out on their shit (except for once but they were relentless). Good for you for standing up for yourself and not caving the p...

I don't know how to react after this experience (Half rant, half advice)

I don't know how to react after this experience (Half rant, half advice) I (26 m) have mild stuttering (which can easily go up to moderate in certain settings). Today I was feeling quite happy and c...

But you said employers dont care about if someone stutters. So can you see if you are being rejected (by anything, anyone) EXPLICITLY because you stutter, and these occurences happen every few months...

I’m assuming you live in a more socially tolerable country, but I and many others live in America where people treat you like you’re stupid if you have any form of disability. Things have gotten bette...

OP... Did you post to rant or did you post to argue your opinion? Based on your replies to most every reply, It seems like it's the latter. I agree with you that it is BS when people believe they ...
