Discord Voice Chat #3 - Sun 01/Oct/2017 @ 22:00 UTC Come talk with other stutterers this Sunday at 22:00 UTC. We all stutter, so there's nothing to worry about, you wont be judged, we are all going th...

I completely understand where you are coming from, and I know how tough it can be to put yourself out there, but you need to put think from the perspective of your coworkers. If you are quiet and do n...

Unlike some of these other comments, I think you need to bone up on your social skills. Exceling at work is about more than being good at your job. It's about fitting the culture, getting along with y...

Originally, I thought it was a joke - a stutterer working at a call center xD. But anyway, wish you a huge amount of luck. Just try it and let us know how it went :)...

Thanks for the wisdom! I definitely agree with what you say, I hung around with one group for a few days and things fizzled out between me and them due to lack of interest from both sides, but I think...

Hey, first off I just wanna really thank you for taking the time to write all of this, it's amazing. But yeah, I just started school, the third week of classes begins tomorrow. A good group of friends...

Yes! If you can do this, it will change things more than you might realize. I just want to mention that MOST people in their first semester in college are kind of lonely. They just don't talk abo...

hey there -- so you just started school? i remember feeling super awkward and weird for awhile, it was really only at the end of my first semester that i felt i had a few good friends that i regularly...

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask, how did you put yourself out there? It seems like everyone has already settled into their groups of friends at this point and my confidence has taken quite the hit...

College was probably the best time of my life even though I am a stutterer. High school sucked because kids are assholes, but people are more tolerant and understanding in college. If you are active t...

I remember my highschool days..pretty much just like how you described. What does make me pretty sad is imagining how many more friends i would have made if i was the polar opposite, in terms of speak...

The best thing to do is to tell the teachers beforehand. By doing so, I was able to do group presentations and solo presentations with their help. I would do the writing in my group and let the others...

You need to change the place or the roommates. Get someone with an understanding brain on their head. Your present roomies will do more harm to confidence instead of staying neutral....

It's a 4-4 apartment. I refuse to befriend someone who lacks empathy. They don't respect me enough to care to be my friend, and I'm somewhat okay with that. It hurts, but it's better to avoid than to ...

Where do you live? Are your roommates your friends or what? If that's their response I'd tell them that's an issue that needs to be fixed or we can't be friends ...

This really is a great sub. I'm glad I found it. You really should go outside. Especially for things like grocery shopping. It's unhealthy to be couped up all day. Shopping doesn't require interacting...

It's awesome to meet other people who also stutter sometimes. It's like you have a connection with them that you can't have with other people. They understand in ways no one else can. ...

Same here. Stuttering only really became a problem in my teens - I suspect because socialising in childhood is a lot more non-verbal (we just yelled and waved sticks around) but as we mature it's conv...

Its strange, but I was actually more social as a kid than I am now (at age 26). I guess when I was younger I really didn't care as much about the fact that I had a stutter. Now I basically have to f...

Yeah, I played a lot outside when I was a kid. I didn't get a computer until later (mid-teens or so) - it was an Amiga 500, so you can probably guess that it was before the true digital age. ;) Nothi...
