Omg one of the biggest pet peeves about myself is I'll have a song stuck in my head and I just want to SING it to myself but I can't get the damn lyrics out of my mouth. So frustrating....

I love the analogy. For me it’s not about being unique (i’m obviously that anyway) it’s about embracing the fact that I stutter and that’s okay and not internalising societies view and reaction to my...

Thanks for your advice and time. I wish I could turn my stutter off for periods of time and even when I try to stay calm one block or repetitive word just causes that to go away. If I see that a perso...

cashier job making life impossible

cashier job making life impossible I’ve had a stutter since I was a child and it has always fluctuated. Recently, I got a job as a cashier at goodwill during a time of influent speech and it’s making ...

Just a vent

Just a vent I know, I must be strong and resilient. I know, I must be pacient and calm. I need to keep the instructions in my mind all the time. I need to Focus in trying to speak better.. But, fuck! ...

I totally feel your pain and quite frankly it can feel demoralizing at times. It can be difficult to explain to people just how terrible it feels to not be able to speak freely. I try to explain to th...

I totally understand what's it like to experience it. It is indeed a nightmare and I wish that one day we'd be able to speak fluently without having to deal with these frustrating things....

I am sorry you had to go through that. Were they in charge of hiring you? If not, I hope you have a redemption arc and actually get the job. Then - and you listen to me - then you systematically destr...

They can get fucked. How utterly unprofessional. I’d never want to work with people like that. If they mocked you they probably mock and bully others. I see two potential options: 1. You don’t get t...

Totally relate to this. It’s viewed as something we should just ‘be able to get over’. They just don’t get it! Pisses me off no end...

Sadly, as people we all take everything for granted. Legs, arms, hearing, seeing, etc. Only when something misses from our life we want it back, there's just so much stuff to focus on in life and we'...

I get that frustration 100% it's not fun when you know exactly what you want to say but being unable. Often made me jealous of other people being able to talk in a social circle. I may have a few ...

Nice. The equivalent of someone telling a homeless person to just 'get a job.' FOH. While I agree that it isn't fruitful to waste time complaining constantly, it is perfectly fine to have low points...

Mate I’ve been there and I still go through these emotions in my bad days! It’s hard when 98% of ppl around us are speaking effortlessly, but I guarantee you other ppl are fighting there own battles i...

I'm pretty comfortable with the fact that I do stutter so last year I started doing it because I was frustrated with the long pauses and blocks. I hope it helps you as well!...

When I get truly angry (rare) my stutter is reduced to nearly zero. Its all about not thinking about it for me. I've had some times in middle school and high school when I was ranting to my mom and ...

[POLL] DO YOU STUTTER WHEN IN RAGE?

[POLL] DO YOU STUTTER WHEN IN RAGE? Just wanted to know if you guys stutter when you are in ABSOLUTE RAGE? As in, when you’re screaming at someone, or when you’re in a heated debate... NOTE: NOT WHEN...

I HATE when people do that! It frustrates me, which makes me block more!...

Listen, I still stutter and I go through rough patches. Unless you’re really tough skinned it’s gonna be hard to not care in the slightest of what anyone says about something that effects you as much ...

I reach frustration because it takes me longer to say things that fluent people do. Also, the fact that people are impatient. Can't blame them for not knowing what's going on. Strategies like: easy on...
