My stutter makes me have low self esteem need help

My stutter makes me have low self esteem need help [deleted]...

I know that once I break down the barricade and talk to my friends about it, they'll most definitely be fine about because if they arent, then they're not really friends and I shouldn't hang out with ...

I feel you. You expected the stuttering community to be more understanding and to have empathy. Unfortunately, people in general don't know how to react and validate your emotions, but they give you a...

At this point I might think of walking around with a name tag on my shirts because being told “how can you not know your name” from non stutterers is unbearable...

Being mute is quite scary but one time my stutter was so bad i wished I were mute. Started thinking of messing with my vocal cords using a spoon. Dont fear for me, i got over the thought lol...

Ha it is crazy but it's nice to have people. I still raised my hand in school but I developed some thick skin due to other children being the way kids are. As an adult Ive become more embarrassed than...

Found my people 😭😭 (you guys, this subreddit)

Found my people 😭😭 (you guys, this subreddit) Ive been struggling all my life with words that start with vowels, and occasionally/sometimes/rarely words starting with m and p (I guess!) I can't even...

When i was in third grade i was reciting story as regular communication skills period, a kid laughed, teacher scold him and said didn't i teach you how should we behave with special child, i feel so ...

One time I stuttered when I was ordering some food and they guy thought it was a joke so he made a joke back. I started crying and I told him I had a speech impediment and he gave me my food for free....

It sounds like you are doing the right things, I just want to emphasize that you want to acknowledge their pain and sit them down and discuss the situation with them. They obviously have a very mature...

Those are all good observations. Acting like it doesn't exist at all isn't good either because it's clearly distressing the child, they don't know what's going on, and everyone is acting like nothing ...

A lot of people not familiar with stammering do think you're dumb, how to respond to that is by saying you aren't and have a speech disability, if they still act or treat you like a dumb person then l...

Thank you. I've been trying to act as if the stutter doesn't occur at all because I don't want kiddo to be self conscious and turn this into an anxiety loop, but I'm sure that my facial expressions ha...

Yes. My stutter is no longer severe and this is still true for me. I think being a young woman is also part of it. When I worked at a fast food place a customer straight up asked me if I was stupid ...

trust me — there are days where I literally don’t want to go on because of my speech. it’s a process I’m still navigating. some days it’s better & some days I just refrain from talking as much as ...

I’m 24F and I also stutter and I’m a virgin. There’s a lot of pressure in society involving relationships and sex (especially in this day and age), so I 100% understand where you’re coming from. As wo...

also f22. im so sorry youre feeling pressured into something you don’t want to do. even if you were ace or lesbian or something other then attracted to men, that’s none of their business to be putti...

I push through it. I used to use a fake name with drive throughs and places I knew they didn’t actually need my name. Now if I was actually meeting people I would have to just push through. Many peopl...

My personality is good if I know I'm talking to a mature person. But I have horrible social anxiety from being publicly laughed at and horribly embarrased countless times. Stuttering has gave me inten...

Interesting you said shame and guilt. Just today I saw and episode about trauma with Huberman and Dr. Paul Conti talking how people who suffer from trauma often feels constant shame and guilt. They f...
